Looks spot on!

Thanks. Nearly there!

So rigging complete, masked the base up ready for matt varnishing (almost forgot to mask the windows...):



So, assuming the varnish doesn’t attack the ink (like it did on the <<Mellum>> almost exactly 12 months ago), the next post should be finished pictures.

Tried it on some spare parts (the new stuff) and it seemed OK apart from a bit of curling around the edges. Time will tell but hopefully it’ll work this time.

Loving the continued pictures and work, that jig looks the business too. Can't wait to see the final finished article.

Actually my pal built the jigs - he's got more rigging to do than me. Taking months...

So at last here it is finished:

HMCS Corvette K-165 "Battleford", Royal Canadian Navy, 1941.





















Thanks for looking!

Superb! I'd love to see it 'in the flesh', do you plan to exhibit it anywhere?

Thanks very much!

No plans to ‘exhibit’ it as such, but if I get to Huddersfield model show I might enter it in the competition. Only completed one other model in the past 12 months, so I might not bother.

Please do - only 50 miles from me...

OK.

Huddy show is great - not too big or small, but I’d say only worth a 50 mile trip if you’re into models or want to buy something kit related. The Corvette isn’t very big , you’ll have seen all there is to see in it in about 30 seconds! Just saying.

Very impressive, such clean and precise work! Can you tell me what is the overall length of the model?

Thanks!

It's 250mm long overall.

Does it float?



A huge amount of work - and a super result.

Thanks. Pretty sure it would float, at least with the wooden base...

Stunning doc.

You continue to make me jealous and inspire me to build more.

Thanks, much appreciated!

Whats next then ?

In terms of paper ships, I wanted the HMV “Frankfurt am Main”, which , of course, turns out to be out of print:

So barring a miracle, might go for something smaller like the HMV ”Wespe & Natter”:
