Hi Everyone,

Making the A frames and prop tubes.Also the rudders.I have turned 12 Bronze bearing today and cut the prop tubes.

The hull is going to be i three parts (15 foot 9 inches long X 22inches wide,and without stand she will be around 5 foot 4inches tall)

She has two 150mm (6 inch) 5 bladed prop (coming arould the end of January 2011 (coming from the Propshop)

First outing can only be the Modelboat Mayhem weekend at wicksteed park at the end of May 2011 and then Alford a week latter.

So alot to do yet,but then we are in week four of the build.

More pic's soon

Hi,

Looking forward to seeing this at Wicksteed Park. We took HMS Kent last year.
Looks like this one is a bit bigger than Kent.

regards
Debbie and Alan

Looks the wrong shape for a mod1

Sweet build though

pugwash · « **Reply #22 on:** February 03, 2011, 11:58:30 pm »

I looks right to me Big Bri though it is possible some of the facet angles look a bit strange but I think that is the angle the photos were taken from.
