boatman's 1/72 HMS Tiger C20 build

[boatman]

HI GUYS its me again as my m8ty Bob says an some more piccys
to show that the mast now all work ok first both steamin an running white lights all goin ok an now the mast is safely screwed down onto the S/S so that i wont break the pins again (phew )

[boatman]

An now for the red 2mm led's Anti -collishion lights on the mast as these were what i was really worried about as if i blew them there would be no way to fix them so thats the reason i dint chain drill out that plug an the white radar scanners are all fitted on an they turn lovely at the correct speed on 6v motor an to all purposses this mast is now finished ( thank goodness )

[boatman]

an here a shot of the nav lights with all the S/S FITTED an they look like they do now belong there

[boatman]

an bridge lights all now work from the wires inside the main hull wires so now it will be soon time to fit on their eletric plugs into the main system an some more small bits fitted onto the bridge at the front as this will have a massive arreial fitted on

Wow….fantastic stuff Chris.

[boatman]

SO for most of that big S/S is mainly only a few bits still to go on is done so now its onto fitting in the rudder fitments that work from the servo an work not only the big rudder but also the push rods that work the stabilizers up an down

Hi Chris
I'm so glad you were able to fix things after the accident. Certainly a heart stopping moment but as Jen says "Keep calm and carry on".
Mast looks superb. The railings look great but must test your patience.

YES THANKS Scottie so am i as id have hated to be defeated by a single pin but what took all the time was getting it apart an putting it back togeather that fore mast as there are 8 gears in this mast an several shafts an a load of wires to make it all work as ive done all my ships like this but ive never busted a eletric pin off before but then first time for everything ai'nt there
