boatman's 1/72 HMS Tiger C20 build

[rtfoe]

Chris, if you don't put up the Christmas tree this year you have a substitute. :smiling3:

For you sticking the bits together also needs strength and durability as its a working model. Don't want bits falling off into the lake or pond...unretrievable.
Nice mast. :thumb2:

Cheers,
Richard

What are those white slim bulb like thingies? I have two of those on top of my main rear mast to add.

Cheers,
Richard

HI Richard m8 yea a substitute. xmas tree be a bit on the small side though :smiling: an yes i dont want bits dropping off the mast thats why i built it usein 2mm brass box section so i could stick my brass rod with all the sencer pods on into the box section then will be very strong an the white slim bulb like thingies are sencor pods that scan for eletronic signals through the eletronic spectrum i think as most warships masts are normaly covered in them hope that has anwered your question Richard an i hope you are feeling better an cheers for having a looksee at what im up to as i think your spy ship in the size you are building is out of this world

Just had a good catch up with this build Chris and I have to say it is stunning work that you are doing :smiling3:.
Everything about it is pure quality and I would really like to see your work in the flesh and also to see them sailing.

WELL guys thats all for a while as the nxt job is gonna be a nail biter as on friday i will be then fitting in them portholes in the hulls , an the ankors hawers ' an the water intake pipes faceing backwards so if she hits any weed floating on the pond surface they wont hopefully suck it up an block up the inlets as if it does then the big ESC will overheat an burn out an maybe catch fire so to be sure it dont happen im fittin in two water inlets one on each side of the hulls

Hi Chris, yeah your main mask is just mind blowing the detail you put into it, hope mine comes out as good, glad I don't have those port holes, they have them in cruise ships too. Yeah the bridge is coming along nicely have to work on the accommodation deck sides windows, will need a sharp knife blade more progress tonight .

Same with you Chris, Tony
