Thank you your each comment.
As you can see below, the wheelhouse did not have the windscreen wiper. So, I 've added it.In the next days, i' will paint motors electric cable in black.
I've started the main crane which is used to carry the mine hunting submarine

Hello,
As you can see below, I'm working on the articulated crane. Pneumatic hose are made with 0.1 mm electric wire.

Hello,
On a warship, it's hard to find colours exept some parts such as dinghies. So, I take pleasure to give some colored point on model. Straps are made with cigarette paper

Nice work.  :-)) :-))


I built a sandown class (HMS Penzance) some 10 years ago, but it was at 1/48 scale.


I think I may still have some detailed photos of the real ship if they are of any help?

Thank you T888,
I would like to know if badges on the funnel are similar on the both side. Does it mean anything such as a channel unity or scotish unity ?And where i can find the badge for each sandown mine hunter boat.
So, few photos about the yellow submarine which is the same in the french navy.

Hi Midori,


The yellow ROV has been taken out of service some years ago, they currently use

SeaFox mine disposal system
  • The funnel badge is the MCMV Division = MCM 1, 2 or 3
    When they are in the NATO deployment with the Standing NATO MCM Group they have the NATO badge mounted on the funnel

I love your build thanks for letting us see it.
You might find this site helpful for ships' badges, they are shown alphabetically by name.

Thank you for your precisious help.
I think I will choose a boat among a MCM3 unit. the badge is the easiest to represent.
I will represent a boat at the beginning of the 2000's, it 's for that reason I've build a ROV not a seafox.
I've made some trials. It's all right but a little much noisy . It's coming from the gear mechanism. I try to find a light foam to reduce the noice.

What I’ve done in the past is to copy the picture of the badge in to a WORD document , then scale it down to the size required and then print it off. Once I’m happy with the size it’s cut out coated with Tamyia Matt varnish. Once dry it then fixed to the funnel.


 
With my HMS Penzance the Vioth unit is belt drive and also wines. If you like I’ll post a couple of picture of her here, if that’s OK.

thank you for your advice T.888
I ve some photos (but not in integrality) about a blue cylinder which can be handlled with a crane. It's located near the dinghies.
But,I don't know what it is and any idea about size.
So, the pond trial are completed, let's go back to construction. As you can guess, I've added light for corridor.
I've also build the dinghies jerricans storage and jerricans in the same time. I think it is the same grey as superstructure

Hi


The blue cylinder is a dummy mine that they deploy when training with the ROV.

I would assume closer to the 500 - 600 mm diameter as a 1m would be a diameter that would go from the waist to above his hard hat, whereas the diameter at 600 mm would be about the width of his waist, length maybe use the height of the crew to guess at under their height say maybe 1.8m or just at 2m, but as always I could be wrong.  ;D

Thank you T888,
As we said in french you are a "gold mine of knowledges". One of my project: to be able to laid down a dinghy on water.
So, on the first photo, you can see 2 servos. The first one is used to give the crane rotation. The second one is linked to a stripe and a cable. So the rotation bring  8 cm, it's enough to see the dinghy on the water

Hello,
Now, it is time to prepare stanchions. I've found some 0.3 mm brass tube on a chinese site. I wanted less smaller but it did not find it.
I used masking tape to stick tube during soldering. As you can see, there is 2 colours .The black one is for flexible part.

Hello,
It's good sometimes to leave details for a basic working: painting.
More we take time to display making tape, better is the result.I should improve myself a little bit.

Love the crane and small boat. Railings are looking good. 8)
Did the brass come on a spool? did you have to straighten the material?

Good morning,
So , I 've just added the gun. Eventhough,  I've spend few hours on it, the result is correct. I wonder what the red label on door represents  ? and does "Z" mean "Zulu" ?
And my other question, how big is a link chain ? .On the second photo, I've started to detail an upper bridge. I varnisihed every woody parts in oder to protect them.

This link should help https://www.navy-net.co.uk/community/threads/history-of-damage-control-and-fire-fighting-and-1982.35141/page-2




But what I’ve assumed is the lettering is for telling the crew which doors should closed or open during such vents like damage control, Battle stations etc.
