Dear Ron, my compliments on that brilliant model!

Happy modeling from Germany,
J?rg


Thanks for the complements, it was a bad day for her launch, rain and more rain, a 14 month project finished on the day our friend from the USA arrived to see her sail, so she had to belaunched  no matter what the weather was like.  ron h

Hi Ron,
That looks like the Sambrook plans I have.

Sadly I'm jankers, not Ginga Din. Only been trying to get info for the last 10 years.

If it ever gets near water i imagine it will have a box on the platform
covered with a tarpaulin to hide the "detail".

Aye Ron,

That's just my poor attempt at humour.

I see you have portrayed your model c1916, do you have any info re the 'baffles' attached to the funnel?

I have seen a pic which supposedley shows this, but only ever the one.

As I can't find it now, and didn't care for the look of it anyway, I'm not that bothered about trying to model it that way.
From memory the baffle seems to have been a canvas 'add-on' and i imagine would be difficult to model properly
at  my odd 120:1 scale.

I'm just curious, as i sometimes read a reference about such fittings but photo's are very rare.

What is the chain on the funnel for?

These funnels were so tall they had to have ropes to host people up to paint or repair the stacks, but as you know ropes deteriate in salt water spray. The solution was to put chain up, they attached the rope to the chain, pulled the chain down and up went the rope, when work was finished down come the rope , up went the chain till the next time work was to be done. They did clank against the stack a bit. ;) ;)

Ron1,

Magnificent scratch build. :) Did you scratch build the hull ? Is it made from GRP or plank on frame.

I hope to build HMS Vanguard at 1:128 on a Fleetscale hull and know how difficult it is to get good plans and info. NMM plans are around 386GBP - frightening....as for close up photo's of superstructure almost impossible.

The deck - not coming from a naval background, did these ships have a planked deck or is that for appearance - but I like it anyway. O0 O0

Hi Martin13, Yes I scratchbuilt it all, it is plank on frame with filla on top then litho plated.

Yes they had a planked deck, plenty of timber about in thoughs days.

Im getting the model ready forthe  Birchwood show , hope to have her sailing, radio and everything tested out. O0 O0
