    H.G. Watkins - BB43 USS Tennessee

    Hi Eibwarrior and David Okamura, I am very interested in your efforts at recolouring and planking the decks. I have a slowly growing bunch of sample decks to use and amend as needed for ships decks. Would either of you be so kind as to send be a file of your efforts at recolouring the decks...

    Ting Yuen build report

    Here is a overall view up todate. I made the tertiary guns out of resin from a mold of the closest thing I had....a U-Boot deck gun (88mm) from a 1/144 Doyusha sub. The scale change resulted in a gun of about 50mm (2") which is about right in 1/250 I think! Regards Peter

    You will also see some more detail in the form of tertiary armament added. I think these are 50 or 75mm QF guns like in the following pictures of the recently built replica, (the original pictures lapel them as 3 pounders ?Hotchkiss). Rewgards Peter

    Ting Yuen build report

    Pic 15 , below, show a close up of how I tackled the mast rigging. Although I am unsure if these ships actually had sails or not they did appear to have the rigging for setting at least one or two sails from each mast! The picture shows small bits of balsa used to get the same (correct?)...

    Ting Yuen build report

    Hi all Pic 13 shows her with the masts up and the ratlines in place. I made the white ratlines out of two sizes of cotton thread on a simple wooden frame with nails to wrap the thread around. I used CA to spot glue each join (this caused me to have an allergy for 4 days!!). The masts are a...

    Ting Yuen build report

    Some more details added with the support struts, from balsa, added for the ships boats. see pic 12 below. On reflection and examining photos of the replica ship, it appears as if the support struts do NOT go all the way across but are divided down the middle. Don't think I will change it...

    Ting Yuen build report

    OK, I have worked out how to use imageshack, thanks for the tip Jim. So I will continue with what I have done so far. I recoloured the deck, as the original was a very poor striped tan, as well as some of the sky lights/windows and changed the embossed dragons from black to yellow (see Pic...

    Ting Yuen build report

    I thought I would do a build of the free-download paper model of the Ting Yuen, a Chinese battleship of the 1880’s (http://homelf.kimo.com.tw/yukiyuji/TingYuen.zip). A bit of history first: ”These were constructed in the German Vulcan yard and were patterned after and smaller versions of HMS...

    rigging material Phil, You could try a product called "EZ line" that is used by railroad modellers for making telephone lines ontheir dioramas. It has the property of being very stretchy so you can make nice tight rigging! it comes in different colours and I think thicknesses. a google search...
