Great stuff, Greg ! Looks like alot of work...but enjoyable work !

Thanks!

Sorry, no shark mouth on this one...but that looks like an interesting future project ! My wife is going to kill me soon.

Working on the placement of the depth charges, and starting on the porthole covers and captain's station:

Greg,

What are you using to make your depth charges?

Gorgeous

Thanks even more, I am happy that it is turning out so well...yeah, I know, it is still pretty clunky looking, but it is shaping up more and more every day.
The depth charges are made from copper tubing filled with plaster and sanded smooth...(page 2)...more work to do on them, but I have at least gotten the teak deck stained !

Bought the entire display of styrene from a local hobby shop...as well as two 4x8 sheets of styrene (!)...my scratchbuilding days are set !!!!

Nice acquisition and definitely a good resource for the small details. How much did all of that set you back? I have never seen that particular brand before, is the company still in business?

I was thinking all the same things, Jeffry ! That sure would be nice to have floating about......

Now that's hardcore - now when someone else is accused of "buying the whole shop", you can say "yep, but I bought the shop-fittings too...."

Fascinating build.....

Greg,

If you are wanting to spend some serious money for your project, check out the 1/32nd scale arsenal available from Nautical Marine Models.

For sixty four square feet of styrene, and the entire display...150 cash.

BlackOps · August 21, 2008, 07:12:01 PM

Nice score Greg

Did I mention you suck!?!?

cthulhu77 · August 26, 2008, 07:44:38 AM

LOL...
Started working on the rear gun, I think I am going to place it off center towards the port instead of centered.

That quad 20mm looks wicked! It would work equally well for chewing up attacking planes or raking the decks of a merchie or something.
