NavyShooter Posted July 30, 2023 Author #62 Posted July 30, 2023 OK, the finishing touches have been applied - the ship's nameplate is painted and attached. mtaylor, ccoyle, Canute and 1 other 4 Quote Brad/NavyShooter Build Log: HMS Blackpool - 1/144 3D Print RC Build Log: HMCS Bonaventure- 1/96 - A Fitting Out Completed Build: RMS Titanic - 1/100 - 3D Print - Pond Float display Completed Build: HMCS St Thomas - 1/48 - 3D printed Bens Worx Completed Build: 3D Printed Liberty Ship - 1/96 - RC A slightly grumpy, not quite retired ex-RCN Chief....hanging my hat (or helmet now...) in the Halifax NS area.
NavyShooter Posted July 30, 2023 Author #63 Posted July 30, 2023 And....the official launch has happened as well. We used a tug to push her out into the pond, then the tug 'christened' the ship with her water monitor. Some photos from our Guild "Fun Float" yesterday morning. Yes, I realize that the flag is far from the right scale size, but I felt it was suitable as a 'battle ensign'.... it gets the message across!

NavyShooter Posted December 21, 2023 Author #67 Posted December 21, 2023 With the planned launch into the park being several months away, the thought occurred to me that the model should be on display somewhere other than in my garage sitting on a table-saw. My son went to a presentation at a local veteran's organization, and while they had some 'army' stuff around, for this being a Navy town, they had very little in terms of Naval hardware on display...so...they now have a model ship on temporary loan that, if I might say, looks quite good on a live edge table display. Also, before I headed over, I added a few pieces of line to act as a basic form of rigging for the model. Now I'll call it done. chris watton, yvesvidal, mtaylor and 1 other 4 Quote Brad/NavyShooter Build Log: HMS Blackpool - 1/144 3D Print RC Build Log: HMCS Bonaventure- 1/96 - A Fitting Out Completed Build: RMS Titanic - 1/100 - 3D Print - Pond Float display Completed Build: HMCS St Thomas - 1/48 - 3D printed Bens Worx Completed Build: 3D Printed Liberty Ship - 1/96 - RC A slightly grumpy, not quite retired ex-RCN Chief....hanging my hat (or helmet now...) in the Halifax NS area.
NavyShooter Posted June 23 Author #68 Posted June 23 She is now in the pond! Pics of the launch day! She went in along with the old model of Sackville, and our new model of the Titanic! A great time! schooner, yvesvidal, Canute and 2 others 5 Quote Brad/NavyShooter Build Log: HMS Blackpool - 1/144 3D Print RC Build Log: HMCS Bonaventure- 1/96 - A Fitting Out Completed Build: RMS Titanic - 1/100 - 3D Print - Pond Float display Completed Build: HMCS St Thomas - 1/48 - 3D printed Bens Worx Completed Build: 3D Printed Liberty Ship - 1/96 - RC A slightly grumpy, not quite retired ex-RCN Chief....hanging my hat (or helmet now...) in the Halifax NS area.
