This is the old Revell HMS Cambletown built OOB except for 3lb. test for the rigging ( I recently restrung my trout poles and saved the old line you never know lol) I'm happy with it,I built it for this months NJIPMS mothly contest.....

I know that Revell modeled them that way,  but the decks on these 4-pipers were all steel not wood.  

I thought so cause I built the HMS Montgomery for last months meeting and that had a steel deck. Not sure on the pic issues they work here if not I will try again

You need to select the IMG code.

That's the first ship I ever built. It was pretty easy for a then novice as myself.

Nice job and thanks for the trip down memory lane.

John, the picture shows a very nice build. Hope that you will win something at the NJIPMS.

I can see the stanchions in the picture. Did you rig the railings too? A close-up of the railings will be very nice to see.

Best wishes.

Nice work.Ron

keilau,no way on the railings lol the simple rigging  (I simplified it lol) was enough for me maybe on somthing larger like a Battlleship I would love to do the USS New Jersey (I have the special plates on both of my trucks). I did try the railings bu didn't like how they were comming out

Looks really nice, just completed one myself , nice kit always liked the lines of the four stackers.

I cannot understand what you are saying. What are those little posts at the edge of the ship if they are not stanchions?

They ARE for the "RAILINGS" i.e.thread. When you got done you could see the steps in the "RAILING" Many folks don,t know how to stretch sprue thin enough to glue in place for "RAILS" The old thread method really didn,t work well. The ship always developed "FUZZIES" Now I do them in brass . tankerbuilder
