Hi,

Your build looks really nice 

Pat

Thank you! The background is part of my bookshelp where she will be displayed. I guess ill take the pic now if OK. I have been waiting months for the silk flag and hull numbers, not sure when they will appear.

Thank you all of your support!

That looks excellent Rob, do you want me to wait for the numbers to put up the pic?

Love the background. 

Weathering done of the Compass Rose, with weathering powders and a limited amount of oil paints. Still awaiting hull numbers and a plaque. Included is a copy of "The Cruel Sea" the wonderful book that inspired me to build this model.

Wow! Rob, she looks amazing. I'm looking forward to seeing how you do the weathering.

Thats a stunning looking ship you have there rob, very nicely done.

 

She looks like she's ready to do some escort duty.

Bill Thank you for your kind comments, you have helped so many of us!

Thank you Steve for your comments. Now finishing up. The build is complete, awaiting some hull markings and a silk flag. Will then lightly weather.

If either of you guys want to bin the kits Pom Poms, take a look here. Not a bad price and lot of cool stuff to spend the paycheck on. Shipping time isn't bad either, especially from France.

ha, You know they just went on their European vacation! Not back till the end of August. Good thing I don't need it right away. Might be a money saver for me though, no temptation to buy it. I'll just focus on out of box

Rob that Compass Rose is a real head turner. Like the wood deck on there and the detail on the lifeboat.

Excelent Bruce, looking forward to her. 

Well, I finally started on the KGV

I drilled out the port holes, however,  I did not attempt to verify their accuracy:

A bit of Photo Etch to spruce her up:

Pontos wood deck:

Brass main and secondary guns:

And the plans to build her in her 1945 fit:

Hopefully, I'll get some done this weekend.

Looks awesome Rob  Keep it comming mate.

You got it mate, Bob's your uncle.

Steve, as tehre is no end date as long as we have signed up before the 2 years is up, could you put me down for another modern British sub. Its the Bronco 350 HMS Vanguard SSBN. I am planning on doing it next year and it should be a nice little quickie build.

Thanks guys. The KGV is coming along quite nicely and I am enjoying the kit. Other than a few mishaps with PE parts, she is turning out quite well.

Cracking job BB! You're really starting to look like a ship builder now, and just after 3 ships  Before long, half of you ship will be after market items.
