Slow going still, and yet another small fitting to be tackled, the two R.A.S posts. In order to make a casting this part has to be made in several sections. This is the first section.

The list of fittings still to be made is getting shorter but it’s still a long list.

Built and installed the gang way today

RAS Post complete awaiting fitting

Well Dave, I'm simply running out of superlatives with regard to your abilities so, I'll just say you've done another cracking job with those RAS posts - great stuff

Ray.

Thanks Chris,

Every time I look at this model. I think god there still so much to do, will it ever end. I’m also trying not to look at my next project until this one is finished.

Boat Davit made this afternoon, I’ll not be taking a casting of this.

That looks the business - is there just the one on this vessel Dave?

Ray.

T888 · « **Reply #366 on:** March 11, 2021, 07:18:55 pm »

Thanks Ray, yes there is only one as the Arliegh Burke’s carry both there RIBs on the stbd side.

Capt Podge · « **Reply #367 on:** March 11, 2021, 07:36:24 pm »

Ah yes, that makes sense. Explains why you haven't followed your usual method of multi-part castings

Thanks Dave.

Regards,
Ray.

Thanks Ian,

This is the same method I used on my 1/48:HMS Clyde flight deck landing lights, it works well.

How’s your current build going ?

I am not up to much at the moment. I hope to next year once one or two other projects have been completed. The Destroyer is almost done, and the small monitor isn't too far from completion. Thanks for asking.

T888 · « **Reply #370 on:** March 14, 2021, 11:28:57 am »

Hi Ian,

Any new pictures of progress to date ?

It seem your builds have gone a bite quite , hope all is well with your health and family.

T888 · « **Reply #371 on:** March 14, 2021, 11:32:55 am »

Thanks Chris,

I’m now looking at the RIBs and torpedo tubes as I’ve still not got enough info to build the Bushmaster guns.

BrianB6 · « **Reply #372 on:** March 14, 2021, 10:13:28 pm »

Is it the same model as used on the R.A.N. Armidale class? if so, I have a few photos.

This one from Allan Pew

T888 · « **Reply #373 on:** March 15, 2021, 06:01:18 am »

Hi Brian,

Thanks for your time in helping me , the guns fitted to USS Roosevelt DDG 80 is the The Mk38
