Modelling Projects / Tsesarevich Russian Battleship 1/350 scale by Trumpeter
« on: December 17, 2023, 02:48:33 PM »
Next model to start when I get back to working again - as well as finishing several ones under construction at the moment. Sorry Haddock but she will be done as a full hull model, museium style to show the ship shape
She was built in 1901 at the French yard la Seyne with normal French extreame tumblehome.
Damaged at the Battle of the Yellow Sea in 1904, Rear-Admiral Vitgeft killed and ship interned at Quingdao in China. She was renamed Grashdanin in 1917 then scrapped in 1922

General Discussion / A Selection of Club Members Models
« on: October 23, 2023, 05:27:52 PM »
This section of the website is an attempt to show the range and types of models produced by all our club members.
It is intended for viewing only and we don't expect members to reply and add comments. Some of the modellers have individual build sections for the models they make, and this is the best area to add comments or questions, or ask them at club meetings.
Again this section is for viewing only.
As new club members join, they will be added to the end of this thread.
The initial selection of models was chosen by myself and can be changed as individual modellers get in touch with me and list the selection they would like shown on their page. The photos on each page may/will also be updated as people produce new models in the future, that they think should be shown instead of the ones on the page.

Modelling Projects / Andy's Long Dock
« on: May 13, 2023, 09:22:51 AM »
Sorting out what to do at the next playday and decided to do this model.
First many many thanks Andy for the Italeri dock, when you gave me it I thought it would be great with the MiniArt set of Soviet Naval Troops that I had in the stash, and a ship alongside - then the trouble started
The dock is toooooo wide for my display case, when it has the ship and dock fitted, so first thing will be to split it length ways and that makes 2 models, then the size is so large think I will have to sort out a lot more figures to go on the dockside. Then it really started what ship to do alongside at 1/35 scale - yes it is going to have to be scratch built, so out with the books and finding one about the correct size.
It could be a G-5 class motor torpedo boat or either a BKA 1124 or BKA 1125 (but have made one of them in the past see web site) - THEN I found that in 1916 the Tsarist government had 9 armoured river gunboats built at Boecker & Co in Reval and some still active at the battle of Stalingrad during the Great Patriotic War as the Russian call it. Now as you all know - hohohho - Russian ships are renamed a lot of times and also rebuilt to modernize them over a very long life - so at the moment am trying to follow the time line for the boats and find good building plans. Before anybody asks the second section of dock with the rail lines is being used for a scratch built American "Zippo" brown water monitor during the Vietnam War - well that the plan at the moment
