  Looks good Dreadstar, what next??

I'm thinking that I might try making GG's Paladin class semi-scale frigate next from MB Oct 2005 issue. Hopefully it's as straight forward as it seems,though I might modify it slightly to suit myself. :-))

Hi Dreadstar
Pity I was not a member of the forum when you started building Otobo since I have VT's "as fitted" 1:48 General arrangement and numerous detail plans and photos of the Dorina that I obtained during a visit to VT's in 1980.
My model was inspired by a photo on the cover of a Model Boats mag. around then.
Having just returned to model boating after other interests over the past 20 years, I am currently updating the radio and adding detail to my Dorina.
I will post a photo once I have learnt how to do it on this site
Regards

Hi Dreadstar
Hopefully these will appear on the screen.
The model took me about 3 years on and off.   I love doing the small bits and at the time wanted to 'get it right'.
The hull is ply bulkheads and skin apart from the bulwarks and flat sides which are .75 mm. styrene.
The deck and superstructure are 1.5 mm. perspex which apparently is now coming into fashion.
Details from brass and perspex.  4"  Gun traverses and elevates, Radars revolve, and most lights work.
I am currently changing to 5 channel 2.4 gig radio since the old 29 meg Tx has 'had it'
I will also finish the bridge details (captains chair and gun site etc.) and try to make the ladders if I can still work to that accuracy and vents if I can work out how to build them.
Regards
