Hi Chris

I think I’d been doing to much modelling during the first and second lockdown and the fact I’d fully retired in March 2020 and over dosed and lost the interest in modelling.

Anyway been finishing off the master and I plan to making the mould later, then tomorrow I’ll see what the first casting come out like.

frogman3 · « **Reply #288 on:** January 17, 2021, 11:50:26 am »

HI Dave they came out them well [/size]AN SLQ 32 now what is their purpose on the ship ? if you know that is as a lot of the things on tiger i have no idea what they do but keep building if you can please as its nice to see a nice warship bein builtchris

Thanks Chris,
Bad news, but I’ve just notice from the pictures there are some blow holes in the casting, but the major issue is that the panels are incorrect. So master and mould have just gone in the bin. So Starting to redo the master. What’s the old saying check twice

cut once!!!!!

The AN SLQ 32 V6 is a early warning systems and supports the counter measures.

warspite · « **Reply #290 on:** January 17, 2021, 02:38:13 pm »

is the bottom chamfer the only problem?, grinding that down and filling the blow holes - would that not have solved the issue

T888 · « **Reply #291 on:** January 17, 2021, 02:51:59 pm »

Hi warspite,

I could have just recast another one but I notice the two sensor side panels where not the correct size, see actual photo the panel is wider than I made it.

T888 · « **Reply #292 on:** January 18, 2021, 11:23:53 am »

Casting from the remade master, just need to clean up, paint and fit.

T888 · « **Reply #293 on:** January 18, 2021, 02:40:42 pm »

Now I’ve done the AN SLQ 32 V6 sensors I’ve moved on to the next, which is the three AN SPG Fire control radars.

The radar dish is made from a seconds from SATCOM which I cut off the dome section in the lathe, then machine the front dished. This was then use as the master.

T888 · « **Reply #294 on:** January 19, 2021, 10:38:22 am »

Fire control radars detailed and painted, just got to fit.
