discussion HMS Amagenon, a mojo buster, i hope!

[BattleshipBob]

Afternoon, have a bad case of no mojo but trying my best. Not feeling my best but many worse off than me!

The last pre dreadnought along with her sister HMS Lord Nelson, both being built at the same time as HMS Dreadnought. I believe the Admiralty nicked the 12" guns to fit to Dreadnought to get her finished quickly so both ships obsolete before finished.

Its a Hobbyboss kit at 1/350, cheap off ebay and a free wood deck, not mentioned in the advert!







Fair bit of PE with the kit






Hope it floats your boat! Will build alongside KGV

Looks great to me Bob. Love the pre Dreadnought style, and these were the pinnacle of it.

Nice one Bob, good to see you back....

There's something about the ship that reminds me of the Thunderchild from The War of The Worlds...(not the poxy Tom cruise version)

Bob,
I'm sure you will work your magic on this and I will follow along.

Hi Tim, love the way they put a gun on any spare space!

Is anybody having issues posting? Having a nightmare, just see the photos??

Bit like the jerries in WW2….it’s got wheels or tracks so it needs a gun…..

Bob,
summat amiss with your photo posting!
I wonder why HobbyBoss never had a spell check on this kit - it should be HMS Agamemnon - leader of the Greeks at the Trojan War ( I did an inbox review of this at he end of last year )

Hi Bob,
Nice to see you back around again
... however,my odds on you completing this would be about 1,000,000 to one... and I'm not even a bookie !!

Made a start, never used the internal braces but impressed. Drilled portholes, joined half's and test fitted deck. Will need a bit of filler at the bow and stern but not much

 

[boatman]
