Thanks again for the comments,
Gingyer why have you lost the inspiration to get on with your Clyde and how far have you got.
I made a start on the superstructure gangway lights and flight deck lights today very fiddly pictures soon.

I don’t really know....
I actually have the first kit made but for some reason I start working on it and then just run out of energy on the superstructure is nearly all done. I was last painting the hull especially the quarter deck to fit the deck.

Sometimes I just think of selling it, other times I want to finish it.....

These lights are taking some time I'm about half way, each one made individually think they look ok.

Been trying to think were to put the main switch so decided to put it under the brake water as this can be removed. also have connected a volt meter so I can see how much battery life I have with out taking off the superstructure.

Lovely work on the railings and readout displays.

Hi All,
Done more detail she is coming along nicely seems I am getting there.

stuart22 · « **Reply #109 on:** June 28, 2020, 05:09:48 pm »

More pictures

ballastanksian · « **Reply #110 on:** June 28, 2020, 06:40:14 pm »

Excellent detail work as usual! Photoshop a sky and a bit of sea into the last photo and it would look like the real ship.

stuart22 · « **Reply #111 on:** July 26, 2020, 09:54:09 pm »

Had a bit of time to do a little more hope you can see what I have done as its mainly small detail parts, spot lamps / radars / aerials, thinking of starting the figures for her to and get the helicopter finished.

stuart22 · « **Reply #112 on:** August 09, 2020, 10:29:40 pm »

Not done to much to hot in the garage I hate this heat, anyway almost finished the life rafts just tidy the lines and ties to do. also started some detail in the main bridge. just thought I would have a play around with this.

stuart22 · « **Reply #113 on:** August 15, 2020, 04:55:32 pm »

Trying to get a picture looking through the windows of the main bridge hope you can see what I have done so far still more to do.

HI Stuart its lookin very good what with the map on the back wall an the instruments panels nice work is there any glass fitted in the bridge windows ?
chris

stuart22 · « **Reply #115 on:** August 17, 2020, 09:03:32 pm »

Hi Chris no glass fitted yet, just took some more pictures of the inside. started the celling on the bridge might as well.

frogman3 · « **Reply #116 on:** August 17, 2020, 09:23:16 pm »

THIS is brilliant an very detailed how are you fitting in the glass does the bridge lift off so you can fit it that way ?

Chris

stuart22 · « **Reply #117 on:** August 23, 2020, 05:01:16 pm »

Finished the ceiling on the bridge hope you can see in the picture lights and air conditioning cover to do, I will do the seats and people another time.

frogman3 · « **Reply #118 on:** August 24, 2020, 07:42:14 am »

HI Stuart ive just looked right through your whole build an im very impressed with your work on this model NOW a question what R/C will you be useing ?

as at the moment ive got a big model type 23 frigate an i have fitted in 2.4 gig R/C a FUTABA 6 CHA an i have been havin trouble with the model running wild as it lost siganal an i did not think id have this prob but i have an now with other help ive found out the R/C has got its own failsafe built in on chan 3
so im gonna try this today to see if it works ok as in the instuchtions its all a bit vauge an as i like to have my throttle on channell 2 with channel 1 for rudders control as i have not got very good hand cordernation so for me its the main controlls on cha 1 an 2 but today im gonna find out if i can get a seperate failsafe unit to fit in between the R/X AN THE MOTORS AS THATS WHAT I REALLY NEED
all best
chris

2.4GHz sets tend not to work with separate failsafe units. These units rely on the receiver completely dropping the signal to the servos when it loses the signal from the transmitter. This is normal behaviour for 27MHz and 40MHz sets but not for most 2.4GHz. If the 2.4GHz has its own failsafe built in then it will continue sending a signal to the servos, the throttle will go to the failsafe position while the remaining servos will hold their position. As far as a separate failsafe unit is concerned the receiver is still receiving a signal so will not do anything.If the failsafe is not on the channel you use as throttle you could try swapping the connections to the sticks, these tend to be plugged into the main circuit board on modern sets. So swapping the plugs for 2 and 3 will give you failsafe on your throttle.

HI Jim well my r/c has a built in failsafe but only works now an again so its ureliable an ive earlyier sent of for a failsafe thats supose to work from 2.4 gig an it was not exspensive so not a lot to lose but thanks for tellin me as if it dont work then i will sell the 2.4 gig r/c 6 cha an go back to the 40 meg at least the failsafe worked on that

Hi Chris glad you have got some answers to your question as I have not a clue sorry, all I am using is 2.4 7channel radio and action electronics as I had some I needed to use I have found them to be ok for me I used them in my Komet and never lost a signal but you never know.
I have not done much to the Clyde just having a rest, started to paint the figures that will be on her. just having a go on one to see how I do I will get some pictures on soon.

stuart22 · « **Reply #122 on:** March 31, 2021, 05:55:42 pm »

Hi all, Glad to be back and all is safe with you all.
With the weather much better had a chance to do bit more detail, started to put the mast lights on and wire the radars to work, I have decided not to have the lights working as when they blow it can be a lot of work to repair, chickening out more likely.
I may light below helideck deck as I can get to this ok, and main bridge.
Bit of rigging to do and paint the main connecting fuel and water hydrants.

stuart22 · « **Reply #123 on:** May 16, 2021, 09:22:56 am »

Hi all decided to do some glazing on top deck windscreen and bridge windows does take time to fit to correct size. some pictures so far.

stuart22 · « **Reply #124 on:** May 30, 2021, 08:13:19 pm »

Made the bridge compass from the picture's I have, and the light code thing each side of bridge not sure what it is called.
Wanted to see how it will look with the figures I will be using on the bridge, they are not fully painted yet. should look ok see below.
