USS Robin - continuing the build

1

More subassemblies , amongst them some of the various additional sponsons
2
October 30, 2016
The island needed a LOT of additional work to make it look like it did in the spring of 1943
3
October 30, 2016
I had to redo some items and some I plainly forgot and had to add after I thought I was done
4
October 30, 2016
The final version of the stern gallery
5
October 30, 2016
And its supports
6

A neat wooden deck, courtesy Evergreen´s N scale car siding
7
October 30, 2016
My ultimate horror is this RN radar array
8
October 30, 2016
The island should be, um, mostly done now
9
October 30, 2016
Also from this side. Well done on both sides, so to speak.
10
October 30, 2016
More island details.
11
October 30, 2016
Painting and weathering the hull
12
October 30, 2016
These paints were used
13
October 30, 2016
And these artist´s oils for weathering
14
October 30, 2016
The quarterdeck is done
15
October 30, 2016
Rather do the railings on the hull inserts before adding the inserts
16
October 30, 2016
Adding the inserts
17
October 30, 2016
A tedious operation - adding the flight deck
18
October 30, 2016
After cleaning up the seams, the deck is masked
19
October 30, 2016
A proud moment - placing the painted island on the painted deck
20
October 30, 2016
Looking how it´ll all comes together may enhance one´s motivation
21
October 30, 2016
Six months into the project, the chicken come to roost
22
November 11, 2016
In my opinion, these NorthStar figures are currently the best on the market.
23
November 11, 2016
I was happy to find designer Micro Master´s items at shapeways.com - these boats are just excellent.
24
November 11, 2016
The Carley floats by the same designer are most helpful, too.
25
November 11, 2016
The items need degreasing prior to painting, I used an ultrasonic bath with some detergent
26
November 11, 2016
Having added the crew figures and iffy antenna masts plus rigging, the model is done for the time being.

I like that perspective.

Outstanding modelmaking at it´s best, Frank. This is a perfect aircraftcarrier model with a very atmospheric airwing composition. Great! 👍
