Hi All, Just to let you know I am working on a new project The Duchess of Bedford. To post a photo I have to be on my laptop, so will post later. Marsh PS the plan is on this site it's a Modelcraft one.

Thanks for the progress shots.

Marsh, beautiful work. What scale is she?

Garet

Garet it's 1/600. It will be a slow build as I have a lot on just now. Marsh

Brass inserts in bow and stern to keep the shape. Marsh

I like to make the tray for the sea as soon as pos. Marsh.][url=https://postimg.cc/t7RrgbX3][/url]

Nice, what do you use for water. I am a tin foil kind of a guy.

Lou

Lou I just use Plasticine, at some time I will try something different. I would rather build a full Hull than a water line one, but in this case I just have a water line plan. Marsh

Hello Marsh.
Looks very nice. Thanks for showing the model beside the removed patch of "ocean". It seems like a good technique to get a good fit around the model and still preserve the structure of the ocean surface. BTW, is that a scratch built model engine on the bench?

Nice to see your progress shots. My navy is waterline and no water. Your sea will really set the model off well.
