Hey Ron
I'm pretty impressed here. As I'v said, I'm a good 95% of the way through building HMS LION, I started mid 93 and stopped about late94-mid 95 and since then it's sat on a self gathering dust and tobacco stains. I got it out the other week to show someone and decided to keep it down and finally finish it.
Hey, I have a load of q's if you'd run your eyes down them and pick off those you think you can answer. I'll start a new thread in this forum, thanks. Nice build and I'm really curious to know a few things.
Any chance to see a pic of your paravane chains as they enter the foredeck? How didyou fix them? Mine go around two bollards along the centreline.
How did you make your flags? [I'm also looking for someone to design me a meaningful signal to hang on LIONs halyards... nothing rude though!
Something maybe that Beatty had said, y'know.
Have you got paravanes on that boat, how big are they?
I see you went for the blue admirals barge. I too thought they were that nice dark-mid blue. But I've seen a N Ough Adm'ls barge that has a green hull. Anyone know what LION had?
You're having trouble with searchlight controls, my 'haven't a clue' is a 'sounding machine'? It's a mechanical device in lieu of a man swinging the lead. There's a boom too!
Oh there's too many Q's... have a look at my thread, thanks.
