right whose idea was this????? as i only work 4 nights and o had last night off, i decided to crack on with the build. so this afternoon i made the 3 lots of guns for the rear deck area, 4 vents and z funnel. the guns are soooooo small. the assembly pictures are bigger than the models ones!
also the carpet monster reared its head on several occasions!
pics to follow hopefully. i just need to calm down before i throw the model.

What etched brass bits did you buy Klunk?

Klunk · « **Reply #102 on:** March 02, 2018, 05:01:16 pm »

none yet. i wanted all 3 sets but cannot get them as a set!

Hannants have 3 sets together for £70.00,

Let me know what bits the carpet has swallowed and I may be able to help!

ok....
this is one of the lewis gun mounts with a 5p for scale. i lost one of the guns to the carpet monster last week and found it 6 days later! this should give you a scale for the model!

ok as promised. pics of the prop coupling made by my friend Tony Dalton, and the rudder assembly. i still have to fill the prop hole and run a resin seal along the seam.

How long does the shaft need to be?

Klunk · « **Reply #109 on:** March 10, 2018, 10:14:09 am »

Mine was cut to order but will measure it for you

Klunk · « **Reply #110 on:** March 11, 2018, 06:46:34 am »

Martin. im using an m4 rabosech prop cut to 8cm out tube and 11cm inner shaft. bear in mind this suits my motor size and position in the boat plus i have a custom made solid coupling.

Hi everyone

Just had a nice delivery a few minutes ago for my build. I’m glad I ordered these little beauties instead of attempting to scratch build them! Think I would have gone more insane!
For my HMS Pennywort as she was an acoustic minesweeper too:
What we have from Niall is an anchor winch, high rail depth charge rails, and the all important acoustic hammer and minesweeping winch system.

I’m that excited I just had to try them in position:

Klunk · « **Reply #114 on:** March 28, 2018, 04:44:33 pm »

my build has stalled!
1. lack on enthusiasm
2. i cant get in my loft again
3. very busy at work
4. lack of bacon rolls
5. low carb diet and low cholesterol diet.
6. lack of pizza

Klunk · « **Reply #115 on:** March 28, 2018, 04:45:45 pm »

ps 4 is linked to 5 and 6!

raflaunches · « **Reply #116 on:** March 28, 2018, 04:58:54 pm »

I can see the issue with the lack of bacon rolls- we’d mutiny at work if weren’t allowed bacon butties. I feel your pain.

SteamboatPhil · « **Reply #117 on:** March 28, 2018, 05:05:38 pm »

Oh dear does that mean that we will have to eat all the butties that Ruth cooks at Mayhem

Klunk · « **Reply #118 on:** March 28, 2018, 05:45:41 pm »

no phil, but this is a severe impact on my eating habits........im eating green stuff, that stuff Apprentice keeps bringing to mayhem when we a bbq!

Klunk · « **Reply #119 on:** March 28, 2018, 05:46:44 pm »

ps sorting loft tomorrow, so may get in there at somepoint in the next week......

SteamboatPhil · « **Reply #120 on:** March 28, 2018, 05:51:16 pm »

Apprentice says she is bringing green stuff, new plan don't bring apprentice......nope can't see that working, I will hide the green stuff

raflaunches · « **Reply #121 on:** March 28, 2018, 07:58:32 pm »

Quick question:

Does any have a clue what these bits are for?
They are part of the LL Magnetic & Acoustic minesweeping equipment but I don’t know where they would fit.

Jonty · « **Reply #122 on:** March 28, 2018, 10:46:15 pm »

The top two pieces appear to be wood gratings.

raflaunches · « **Reply #123 on:** March 28, 2018, 10:54:31 pm »

Yes, I would agree with that assessment. The smaller grating has an angled bracket beneath it so that matches the drawing you have provided. Many thanks

And does this help?
