Well I had once consdiered drawing the Tiger but I felt the photos and plans available were so poor it would be nigh on impossible. I had to eyeball the 6in turrets trying to use the available online Tiger sources but it confirmed my opinon that doing the whole ship would be a nightmare. Bombhead has done a great job and proved that Mk I eyeball is still as good as tracing.

I always find it best to trace it out on a drawing first just to get the where things go.And then look at the best pictures you can get.

You defintely getting there Bombhead.

Just a little remark: the Corvus decoy launchers should be abreast the bridge and not in front of the hangar.

Beautiful Work Bomhead, Blake was my first ship i got drafted to Dec 15th 1975, followed by Eskimo, Bulwark, Kent, Plymouth then it was on to the modern fleet, York, Gloucester, Southampton, Exeter and finally Liverpool.



Great seeing the old ships brought to life, Thanks

A few points on HMS Tiger, Tigers main mast that carried the 965 radar was all grey, unlike Blake who had the black top, also Tiger got a go faster stripe at some point around 76, that was between 8" - 12" wide, see plan drawing.

kidcurrie 42,thanks for the comments and welcome to Shipbucket.Bulwark,one of the Tribals,and Type 42 are also on the archive.I dare say a Type 12 will appear soon.

Yes i have seen your Magnificent carriers, you have done Rusty B proud, still trying to find the Tribals and Type 42's,

Type 12's will be a real test i expect, so many variations, i see quite a few names from the Modelwarship site here, Timmy C and Werner being two. i have no excuse now for not building an Ark, Eagle and Rusty B.

Keep up the good work
