Another academy 1/350 HMS Warspite premium edition

[Graham D]

Thanks for the comments

Alan, I remember that from you build log. I had to take the foremast top apart as I put the aeriel on before putting the yards on!

 

[Graham D]

A bit of progress with the fore mast rigging. The pictures make the thread look thick, but I am using fine E-Z thread.

Nicely done on that rigging Graham. Coming along nicely now.

Great work on the PE Graham. One trick for fine rigging is to use very thin copper wire. Cheers Derek

Looks really good Graham. As a non-ship modeller they always look dauntingly complex.

Thanks for the comments, A bit more done, the boat deck, pom poms and the funnel reasdy to paint. Just noticed, a bit of touch up needed on the boat deck and pom poms

Looking good Graham, that aftermarket pe for those pom poms looks much better than the supplied ones, I'm getting that for my queen Elizabeth

They are a lot better and a reasonable size. They are made of 10 pieces. The only thing I found was that I had to drill out the resin bit the barrels fitted into as the middle barrels suck out too much, but that might just be me! I got the ones made by Fly Hawk

 

[Alan 45]

Thanks for the info mate, fly hawk are the ones I'm getting, I've only see them on white ensign

A bit more progress, it's slowing down a bit as I have a couple of other things going on, but it will get there. The cranes are just placed at the moment. I realise that one needs to be a dark grey.

Great work Graham I'm really liking watching this come together

 

[ojays]

Wow, your really putting some work into this build, but it will be worth it in the end.

Following this to the end.

After a bit of a delay for a bussiness trip to France and other things, here is a bit more, the main mast and its associated super structure is now stuck, and the Walrus has been completed. Next is to complete the ships boats and rigging.
