Hello again,
I'm already started to build a ship model using drawing from here: viewtopic.php?f=15&t=7985
The final configuration is Danish frigate HDMS Tordenskjold.


Work is still on the beginning stage, but i will post what i have.


Bofors replacements:


Rear gun and FCR tower:


Afterdeck from above:


SVTT torpedo tube:


MRS3 FCR on tower platform:


Rudder and screw:




Helmport and shaft:


Video - R/C engine and rudder control working plus audio effects module:
(turn subtitles on for explanations)

Early days but it seems to be coming along nicely.
Can't wait to see how she progresses.

Please, please,please (little bit of begging) keep us updated on how it is progressing, very interested.

Thanks!
I promise, i will post a progress. It cant be lightning fast (work, kid, wife etc...) but i will push it constantly ( i'm very excited too). I will concentrate now on internal design - mounting the engine, and other electronics. Additional structural elements must be added, and decks with access hatches to machinery (if need to be repaired and replaced). I also planned to have working main radar and lightning (navigational lights and internal lighting).
When I finish with all that, real eye-candy work will begin

This is a really cool thread - glad to see someone using this format for model building.

My only request is to please templatize and add credits for yourself / whoever else was involved in the drawing as per the rules here.

As Colosseum mentioned, it's really cool.
I'll be looking forward to see further updates on model.

Template fixed. Also proper markings drawn too.

A curious thing about the number (F342).
The numbers of the post WW Danish frigates are without gaps. I cant find "empty" number in range. Instead of using "out of range number" I duplicate F342 number, belonging to Rolf Krake - Esbern Snare class frigate, stricken at 1962. This fits perfectly, F342 Tordenskjold will became a replacement.
This is a real practice in Danish fleet: F340 Beskytterren frigate and F340 Thetis corvette are example.

A little update: Shaft fixed, Engine foundation in progress.
Also right Limbo blast screen repositioned symmetrically to left one. Also new main deck with new superstructure foundation drawings can be seen.

Looking good so far. Still interested in how it progresses.

Keep it up!
