Thomo .thank you for your interest.
richard.
I know jack very well, The kits are very very nice,and for you much easyer to build.
And you will have a great looking monitor.

The way I do it , is meaby not the easy way , but for me the only way.
Ill will do one more after this one, and then ill be sure building the jack`s ATC-H. or CCB or ......or ???...
I got to build one of those someday........................

Hi
The more I see of this build the more I have to admire your skill & Patience.
This is a very impressive build.
Glad your still hard at it. Rather you than me with all that bar armour.

Hey Chris!

I have catch this tread again and I must say that you are doing a MAGNIFICENT JOB here!
Keep up, now that the weather is starting to get worst
Cheers,
Rui

hello shaun ..
its easy ..just sit down and cut them to size ..and GET ON WITH IT...LOL

Hello Rui.

Yes you are right ,Iam racing in the summer and building in the winter,
But let say I have seen the light.

easy ..took me 20 min too make.





thanl you all for your interest, I really like that !


Q just ask

chris

Hi Chris

I don't know if you have been asked before, but here it goes:
When you have this project finished (I am NOT putting any pressure here!!!!) do you allow us kitmaker.modelshipwrights to make a full built project Feature of it?
Although you can say it's armor related, it belongs in the water
Give it a thought!

And keep up the good job - the turret and the support braces are some of the best scratch building skills I have ever seen!


Rui

back again.

you guy`s are way behind..
so here`s a update

With some email help from gino(heavyarty) ive made some 105mm boxes (not done yet)
also made a life jacket locker.


ive made some lights and sockets.



The deckhouse was getting his primer and completed his armour.

Thank you all for your interest.

hello fellow builders.

Iam sorry to inform you all that the bar-armour around the turret did not make it..
It will not be missed...............

one of my theachers who is helping me with advise told me not to make it out of plastic.
It wil break in time,
the second person who had a good look at it.. his first words where: "it`s not in the center...
So that was that ..I been building it again ..this time out of brass.
let say ...win some lose some..




ill be working on this one for awile..
any comments welcome.
chris

hello my fellow builders.

To keep you all informed, the 105 turret is near complete I think a day or two.
My main problem to build where the 20mm turrets.
Ive been asking around trying to buy the masterpiece models turrets...didn`t work
made some, let some fly.................
but after a hard batlle I think ive won..

tell me what you think.
the real deal.





the family "turret"
