I thought we were the "help" ?!?

Crackin' good in concept and execution so far. There's a couple of things I might have done
differently, but thats just aesthetics. Looking forward to seeing her in paint and on the water!

You, sir, are totally taking this to the next level.
Apparently, your whiffing ability surpasses 11.
You're seeking help for this, right?

I wonder , in what scale "whiffing ability" is count?

Thanks for your comment :)
Any help will be appreciated :)

Well , I need to buy simple RC aparature because I realised that this "wonder of modern electronic" from RC toy car is completely useless in my battleship I hope I'll buy it today or next week.

I' pretty sure that I just don't see bad points of my model cause I see it every day... so can you tell me something about these "couple of things" ? :) Any suggestion will be appreciated :)

I finished work with airplanes (converted Su-33 by Trumpeter 1:350) and added more guns. I'll add photos today or tommorow :)

Hello!

A few guns were added , two Marlin interceptors and a lot of deck and superstructure stuff :)

Love the old school smooth bore cannon !

Sent your ship pictures to a Naval Intelligence friend for evaluation.
If agents show up at your door - thatz why.

I like it a bunch. What is the tube structure at stern? All I can think off is a big time smoke generator.

Excellent build

I don't know if I'll name it properly but it's a deep charge launcher.

That muzzle-loader on wheels is the icing on the cake! Looks almost ready for action!

Thanks :) But there is a long way to action. First of all I have to make rudder and cooling work. I hope I'll finish working on it this week. Then railings and other small parts and finally painting and weathering.

I think about that camo...probably tribute to survived polish destroyer - ORP Lighting

Artoor-

Sorry for the late response- you asked-

I' pretty sure that I just don't see bad points of my model cause I see it every day... so can you tell me something about these "couple of things" ?

Really, its one thing-the rail gun. to my eye, it looks...out of place. When I look at it, I see a much smaller gun ( like a submarine deck gun, or the bow gun on something like a corvette ) greatly enlarged. Its a look that seems out of synch with the look of the rest
of the ship's ordnance. Something like a hood, or turret, over the assembly, might add to the sense of mass and presence.

I really like the Marlins, and the muzzle-loader is great! ( A muzzle-loading Wave motion gun, perhaps? ) Looking forward to the rest of the build!

Maybe you're right , I'll try to do something with gauss gun. Muzzle loader is a kind of "celebration" cannon, you know , shoot on beginning and ending of mission etc :)

Finally! The beast is alive

Today propulsion tests took place :) Results? I have to remember that I should swim with no more than 1/3 of power. If not... battleship will transform itself into something with speed close to torpedo boat :) Sorry for no photos from tests :)

As our friend Toolslinger would say, "You can never have too many guns."

Great stuff!

Cant wait to see the youtube video of it in the water...

It Lives! It lives!

Great bashing/scratching. I love the depth charge ejector. Looks like an angry alien insect's ovipositor tube.

Hello!

Last photos before painting. I've added funnels for shafts because of strong vibrations coming from transmission. Also added railings and removed gaps beetween superstructure and deck:

GTX_Admin · « **Reply #43 on:** April 17, 2012, 02:18:37 AM »

Coming along nicely.

Brian da Basher · « **Reply #44 on:** April 17, 2012, 03:04:01 AM »

I really like the added details like the chain & railings!

Can't wait to see it painted!

It had been a long time sice last update. I'm fighting with painting of this beast. Today 3/4 of main guns was painted:

Next step: superstructure

Artoor_K · « **Reply #46 on:** February 05, 2013, 05:20:59 AM »

So...again I have to built a model as fast as possible. It should be ready for 26 febuary. I hope I'm able to do it. I'll try to continue with my DESERT WARFARE GB project but finishing JUDGEMENT DAY is my primary target. OK , stern deck:

Anyway, I don't know why this topic is in SF category...This is still ship , I think :) If not , then OK :)

Artoor_K · « **Reply #47 on:** February 08, 2013, 04:22:31 AM »

Sorry for this photo ,I can't do it from different angle 'cause this thing is too big :)

elmayerle · « **Reply #48 on:** February 08, 2013, 06:40:41 AM »

Damn, that's a gorgeous piece of work!!

Bravo!!
