My 1/96th Scale HMS Diamond D35 Destroyer building the railings...
I finished a complete set of instructions, building materials list and detailed plans today.
If you would like a copy of these plans and drawings please send me a private message with your email address and I will forward a Pdf file complete. I have not found a way of uploading a pdf file to this site yet.
The pictures presented here are just an example of what to expect.
Kind regards

I'm nearly ready to give the hull it's first coat of sea going paint. I'm pleased with the lines and shape. I must admit I have spent a little more time on this particular build than I have other projects for some reason and this is not a Difficult hull to construct.
I'm still trying to locate a supplier for the light Admiralty Grey paint and I will visit a couple of my local Newcastle Model Shops this week.
The inside of the hull has now been given it's final coat of varnish and I have decided to use micro servos throughout this build. A test set up proved successful today.
I have made a start on the mast section today and I will post pictures later this week. There is a lot of work in this particular part of the build and, once again small parts all cut from brass sheet..... I'm Still trying to master cutting this stuff.
PS if you're interested in my Railings Jig plans I can only send them via pdf format in an email.... Send a private message to me through the message pages with your email to enable me to get them to you.
Roy 😊

Hello all of my followers. I must apologise that there has been limited activity on my project but.....
I took seriously ill some months ago. I was not able to do anything let alone build my project.
So, I will be back soon with further posts and I will also be starting a few other blog builds that I had started but failed to finish.
Kind regards to all of you.
Roy
The hull is in its final rubbing down stage after having three coats of white primer paint. This was then rubbed down using very fine wet and dry paper. it becomes like glass ready for the sea going paint Lee.
I'm going to share it with several mags.
I'll email the whole package across shortly for you. Hope the baby and mum are doing well.
Kind regards
Roy
