Hi Chris,


Will do but I’m still slogging my way through the handrails. However during the research of the ship stanchion locations, I’ve found that there is a lot more detailing (which was not on the Drawings) to be put on the hanger roof, aft superstructure and the foredeck. So my list of things to do has grown. {:-{

Thanks Chris for your comment about my build :-))




I was hoping to have this build finished by the end of the year, however finding more missing detail it looks like it will be going well in to next year %%

Thanks Chris,


Will be nice to see Tiger with her handrails fitted %)



My Railings are 95% complete, just a few on the forward funnel and the EW Radar platforms. I’m currently micro building some JBs and three of the power take off connection points.

Hi Chris,


This is the best photos I can do as they are so small, the fittings are power points. See actual ship fittings that I used from the web.

With making some locker masters for my other USN ship I’d also started on Roosevelt’s lockers. The casting need a bit of cleaning up before painting and fitting.

Thanks Ray,


It is handy, but can be distracting working on two  models at the same time, as I’d really like to get this project finished.

Warspite Derek,


Answers to the first question paint will not get repair until she goes in for refit  {-) {-)


Remaining fittings that need doing are


RU Lockers 14 off
Flag locker 2 off
RAS Fuel nozzles and hoses 4 off
Detailing on the aft of the forward super structure
Detail on the aft superstructure , light, load speakers , vents and other little bits.
Bushmaster guns 2 off
Flags 2 off
Bridge wing markings
Search light on the bridge wings 4 off
Eyelets along the hull lots  %%
Hull brackets on the stern 12 off


Second question the red circles are safety lines where the two Bushmaster gun mount go.
