HEAVY CRUISER HMS KENT IN 1:350 BY TRUMPETER.
« on: June 04, 2020, 11:37:27 AM »
                Started this a bit more than a week ago, doing bit and bobs whilst waiting for other stuff to dry.
            I got carried away.
                   As you can see, the ship is water-lined and some "re-engineering" done, mainly so as I can glue the superstructure in place from inside the model.
              I've built most of the sub-assemblies and started to plan the rigging, I've drilled sixty holes to accept the funnel stays using old photo's as reference material, some will need "'addock 'oles" to pass through two decks.
            I'm pleased with the cranes, found a different way to tackle building 'em.

It would be if Zak was making it -- you might take a few more days, but the finished article will be excellent.

Hi Haddock,
Nice to see this one. Sixty 'addock ole's' well that's quite a few to drill in the right place.
Patience is a virtue, I think I might call you 'Saint Haddock' from now on.....
Cheers,
Bigkev
I hope my next is always better

Some shots of the larger of the etched brass work.
Now it all goes back in the box so I can complete HMS York
and Schleswig Holstein.

You don't need to, a derrick is a different animal.

I agree Andy,
Now Haddock tells us he is putting them to one side to finish the HMS York and the Schleswig Holstein!
All this great stuff, is a beauty to behold.
