1/96 Sandown Class on the way
« on: June 14, 2020, 01:04:57 pm »


Hello,
Now, my model "commandant l'Herminier" is completed. And why not to start a new model but from a foreign navy: the Royal Navy.
The other challenge is "how to move her ?" 2 voith schneider systems at 1/96 will be very interesting to build.
At first, I've received a jecobin plan. It was the first time I get a plan with so much details.
On the second photo, you should be able to see where voith will be.

thank you for your comments.
As you can see all the main bridge is removable.Full access to the voith schneiders is required.
I wanted to operate bow thrusters but it would have been too heavy.

Hello,
As you can see in the last post. Voith schneider mechanism are already. I did not made it by my self but my brother did it. He is better than me in mechanic system.
So, on the photo, you will be able to see each part take place in each voith

You can get some small, light bow thrusters on Shapeways. I use the 6mm version of the following on a 1/200th scale Smit London without any problems.

Thank your advice.
The front is on the way with a break water and some lockers above. In few days , I would like to paint the hull and the main bridge.
I 'm looking for the exact paint reference of the royal navy. But I did not find it . It's easier to find a good acrilyc paint when you have a R.A.L reference.
I had so much trouble with enamel ou humbrol paint. Soif some one give me  a RAL reference, it coulb be a great help .

Thank you for your comment.
It's time to spend time to detail the 20 mm gun. It's not an easy design.

It’s a BSI number you want for the grey. Called light weather work grey can’t recall exact number but think BS 381C 676 is about right

As per my last comments Midori. A super looking piece of modelmaking. You could put that on a base and it would look great as a stand alone model.

For decks I have used either bSI381C 637 medium sea grey or BSI381C 638 dark sea grey
for anti fouling i have always used red car primer.

Hello,
As you can see before, I 've completed the hyperbaric chamber. I did not find lots of photos about it, I wonder if it's grey or not.
Every part around are already

I believe all NATO members have [size=0px]hyperbaric chambers [internal and external surfaces] painted in a white 2 Part Epoxy manufactured to MIL-Spec specifications[/size]
[/size]
[/size][size=0px]Our RAN [which is not a NATO signature] also has adopted this specification[/size]

Having  had to spend 3 hours a day for 40 days in a much larger chamber I can confirm that it was all white for hygiene reasons and that it is much easier for the operators to see if there is any foreign object inside or around.  The 'crew' were very particular that nothing that could cause a spark was taken into the chamber.

Hi, Just asking out of interest having a background in my career of commercial sat diving (though not a diver!).  I'm aware that commercial suppliers such as Divex supply to the military also, was that true for RN also?  Presumably the RN doesn't have divers kept under sat but you're right in as much as hygeine inside a living chamber as far as I experienced is paramount and one thing about divers is they tend to make sure the living quarters are clean.  Ear infections seemed to be one thing that could occur under sat.  As for what's allowed inside I couldn't comment -in civvy street with the guys in there 28 days you might be surprised.  I only went in to the chambers and the bell when they were surfaced and to be honest had a severe disiking each time.  I believe the previous field engineers to me got put into the full suits and kirby morgan hats and thrown in at the national hyperbaric centre to get the experience, but that wasn't taken furrher.  I have allot of respect for divers for what they do but not sure whether thay are crazy or just plain daft to do it!

I admire the little chamber posted!  I don't know what it's like on the Sandown and I presume is's a treatment chamber but I can recognise most of the useful parts from it.

So,after rhe wheelhouse, bridge around is needed. As you can see, i added some light as the real one. I've choosen  soft yellow lights. They will have to be  lighter than position lamp.
