Just starting on 1/96 waterline model, as she was at the Yangtse incident. Have good drawings from two sources - N A Ough and Les Brown book. Bit short on photos from above. One problem. Was her plating butt welded or overlapped and welded.

She must have undergone some pretty extensive work, especially aft from photos I have. From pics I have her decks could be anything from very dark grey to similar shade blue, grey or even brown corticene. Ideas welcome! Pic is as she is now. Guns detail inside the turrets missing. Having scoured the net for hours, I still have not found one pic looking into the turret!

HMS Amethyst had a lattice mast. Does anyone know if this was constructed using tube or bar and angle steel. It is a difficult thing to make whatever the format.

Hi everyone. Does anyone know what boats Amethyst actually carried? I have assumed she probably had a motor launch - 24 foot, and a couple of whalers. She had davits for four I think, from various photos. I doubt she had a cutter, as from what I can see no photo showing sufficient room to hoist a 32 foot boat inboard. Even 27 foot whalers are a squeeze.

Hi,
Christmas and travels finished. Tried photobucket but came up 'cannot open'!
Have no info as to ringed sections in attached pic. Anyone have ideas please?
Will make another launch!
