This was a RC version that was the original Matchbox kit. She was in a very poor state and there was no way that she could have been saved, parts missing and the plastic deteriorating. So, I decided to have a crack doing the HMS Compass Rose from the film The Cruel Sea, well, her final resting place.
More damage made, parts added and coating has been started.
Things to note: A lot of fine sand, dust has been used so far, the Starboard side is part done, the Port side is all to do as is the bottom and rudder.
Also, a lot of glue is also used...running out of the stuff. This is also going to require a lot of paint and weathering.
Main issue, is the size of the thing on the workbench when trying to manoeuvre it, I have sand all over the place-a major clean up will defo be needed LOL.
