Hello all,
I've been "off air" for some time now as the hospital keeps inviting me to stay. My recuperation time at home has not been wasted as I purchased an exploded No 36 in pieces from pointblankO, (Many thanks), and decided to try and make a display example from the bits. The pics show the results of my efforts. I'm not very happy with the painting so may strip that and leave the internals bare, any comments most welcome.
First two pics show the parts as bought. Pic 3 shows an attempt to decide the best way to re assemble it. 4 shows how I decided to do it. 5 and 6 show the ongoing painting, and 7 is a No5 section which I did some time ago and would like to display them together with a complete one alongside.
All best,
"pegleg" navyman.
