The fitting out continues. I have managed to make a reasonable (I think) representation of the circular antenna and its mast, after much trial and error
The large radome came from a roll on insect repellent cap which, by great good fortune, was exactly the right size and shape. The smaller radome was made on my lathe using pine dowel.
Some of the hand railings have been fitted, but I'm awaiting the arrival of some brass rod before I can make the rest. Some styrene tubing is also in the post, so I can make a start on the 2 RIB's, which are a feature of this class, when that arrives.
I have had the motors running, using FLJ's ACTion Electronics amazing P94 unit, which is an absolute gem
- thanks, Dave.
I'm hoping to have HMAS Bundaberg finished by mid August, when our club is exhibiting at a Model Railway
Expo in Murwillumbah, about 80km north of us here. I will still take it even if it's not quite done, though.
Peter.
