A shot of the stern an the eara in the red oblong is where the tech's test out the jet engines an the cage below is for the crew member's to come out of a water tight door an just step in a tender that's goin ashore as she is to big to go into most harbours
[ATTACH]327761[/ATTACH]
Four props an four rudders the real ship only has two rudders but I fitted four rudders to increase steerage as on my pond it can get quite busy with other models an I dint want to hit others models but it did happen at times as she takes so long to stop
Some shots of her hangers an the elevators worked up an down an the hanger doors opened an closed for sailing in rough wheather which she did at times [ATTACH]327770[/ATTACH]
An lastly a lovely strb shot of her on the pond an this model is 1/144 scale an 7yrs to build an a the build of a lifetime as I wont be able to do it again[ATTACH]327820[/ATTACH]
HI All sorry about build pics not uploading but beyond my control but in a few days time I should have a 6 sheet plans set of HMS TIGER C20 in 1/72 scale from the post man
so I will using my new camera put on here but in the build section a complete build of her an in 1/72 scale she is 95 inches long so it should take me the nxt 5 yrs or so to
scratchbuild her as I don't think they do a grp hull so im gonna have fun with all the working features with full R/C that will be on her as well just got to hope the money lasts out lol
HI Guys this is just two test pics to see how they come out on the forum as the build would not upload on here ive treid a diferrent approach by downloading pics to printer an printing pics off.
Then using my new camera takeing a pic of the pic that been printed off an then uploading on here but if they are not very good i'll stop
1st pic of underside of hull with my wife jen[ATTACH]328077[/ATTACH] holding it this is about half way through the build when pics taken. She is about 5ft 7" so you can see what size the ship was an it came in two halves for ease of tranport
AN from top deck view the sqares that are cut in the deck are for inspeckion hatches which were held in place by magnets an to load an unload the main batts that powered her when sailing[ATTACH]328078[/ATTACH]
