Flower Class Corvette "Battleford", HMV.
Hello everyone, this is my first post, so I hope it's in the right section of the forum?
It's my third completed paper ship model: HMCS Corvette K-165 "Battleford", Royal Canadian Navy, 1941. HMV kit plus laser-cut details. Scale 1:250 Built as per instructions apart from acetate glazing, mast ladders (from an HMV ladder set) and rigging from sprue/elastic. Also added some navigation lamps and the shells/cradles around the main gun, since these weren't included in the kit. I modified the minesweeping dolphin noses to be rounded rather than pointed. I tried to use strips of card instead of the suggested wire wherever possible. The hull sides required shortening to match the sub-structure, apart from that a very nice kit. Thanks for looking! |

Absolutely beautiful! Looks perfect to me, and I always like to see well-executed models of Flower-class corvettes. Makes me want to re-read The Cruel Sea and to watch the film again.
I have spent some time pouring over these images and am really impressed with your artisanship. Don |

Very nice model, how long did it take to be completed.
I guess you spend something like 40% building it and 60% detailing it. Is this correct. Thank you for sharing! |
