Hi Colin,

it surely must have been a great moment for you receiving the gold medal. I like your shirt. Can you buy it at Deans Marine?

Kind regards

Arno

Hi Colin,

With this model you were doing a great job!!! I will have an eye on your other projects... - hoping you could forgive me about that "espionage"!
Have lots of thanks to you for all that awesome nice pictures.
I find them very helpful for overworking my 1:700-scale scratchbuilt model of the Inflexible.
Guess this thread is the best source you can find in the web concerning the look of that ship.

Also a lot of thanks to Deans Marine for that wonderful model!

Cheers to all of you!

Maedis.

Hi Colin, would you be kind enough to put a close up of the life boats so that we can see how you secured them.   I really do not like the way I have done mine but would love to see how you did yours and what you used.  Thank you if you take the time to did this for me and I hope others.

Hi Paul,
i imagine you are talking about the ships boats on the Davits... 7 Of..??

these are not really classified as lifeboats, there working boats and used to erect the torpedo nets and patrol round the ship when anchored.

there not actually secured in place, they hang on there ropes that are connected to the Davits through pulleys.
on the davits i made some tieoffs (cleats) and wrapped the rope (string) around the cleats.

hope this is what you were asking for, or do you mean the torpedoboats and Steam launches on the boatsdeck.

Hi Colin, the first photo is what I am looking for, the pulleys you used or made to secure the boats to the Davits.   Did you make these or is there a supplier I could use.  Paul.

the pulleys are brass etchings that i got made up for me.

i used the pulleys that were in the kit for the measurements and redrew them in Coral Draw.

so basically they are the white metal fitting that Deansmarine has for all there 1/96 kits, just been made out of brass
if you go back to page 10 you will see close ups of the making of the pulleys.
