Building HMS Queen Elizabeth 1943

I don't think it's all that difficult, just very time consuming. You have to think a lot and wait for stuff to dry before moving on.
'Ave a bash.

will do!

            Not done much lately but here's the result of a few hours gnashing of teeth, blood, sweat and tears. It will come apart for painting.

            If you are in Hull, The Real Model-shop have Tamiya extra thin (green top) on stock at £3.50 a bottle, hurry while stocks last!

Cropper has now got it in at the same price, bought some this morning.
Called into the Real Model Shop on Saturday - not much in really.

Looks like it's now back in the UK.

Seems to be a lot of effort but not much progress.Hopefully, it will all come together in a rush.

              Here's where all the time goes.
        This is the main director, the circular platform misses the column by a country mile, the plastic brackets for the topmost scanner are revolting and the etched brass brackets don't conform to the shape of the scanner so it's perched on something made with ten thou card. Getting it to look respectable is a right faff, then of course, there's the time taken farting around to take a decent picture.

It will all be worth it in the end.

Blooming 'eck Haddock,

You must have Superman vision or eat a lot of carrots!!

Awful lot of effort just to make-fast the ends of the signal halyards, the grid is 4mm square and the brass bar is 0.3mm dia. Now I can see it better on the photo, I can refine them a bit.

It looks very refined to me, wish I could see that well!

Very clean Tony, well done

At the risk of being a boring old fart, here's some sub-assemblies and what they may look like when assembled, sorry about the rubbish photography.

Thanks for your kind comments.
