excellent work :thumbs_up_1: :thumbs_up_1: :thumbs_up_1:

Part 3 of catching up on Garibaldi. Scott

Its been that long since I've posted it worked as a guest and no photos! Doing well lol, let's see if I can get it this time. Scott

Hi guys, its been a long time since I've been here and worked on Garibaldi. It took a Facebook post from a friend to give me a kick in the right direction, it was a memory from 6 years ago when they were at the Task Force 72 Regatta and it got me thinking that in 6 years I have not finished one project! I have so many unfinished ships in various stages of construction!!! This hit me hard and made me have a look at myself and look at managing my time better. So I decided to tackle one project at a time and once that project is done move onto the next. Well that is how I want it to be. Garibaldi was at the top of my unfinished list and was placed on the build table. After chatting to some of the lads down here I've had great support and a few doubt that I can only work on one project at time. Going through the cardboard finding her bits and pieces has brought back a lot of memories. Firstly I finished off her starboard rear walkway and under hang supports a long her starboard side (I had these laser cut years ago by Defence models and graphics) with working on Garibaldi I've had a mate offer his 3D printing skills and he has done some exceptional work on her large and small deck cranes, the two motor launches located on Garibaldi's Port and Starboard, her countless drum winches and capstans, SPS 52, large fenders mounted on the superstructure and small dinghies on her rear deck. I've spent 5 weeks marking, drilling and gluing Garibaldi's flight deck tie downs (massive job) working on her superstructure at the moment. Scott

Hi Scott humn Nice and wonderfull ship modeling work. :wave_1:

Great job. Always found it a good looking ship (as with most Italian ships). Some very sharp building there. Hope to see some color on it soon! :heh:

Thank you Jorge, it's been a long journey but I'm heading in the right direction. :big_grin: Scott

What amazing skills you have. I am very impressed. I love this bridge.

Jorge

Thank you inchHigh, I use John R Haynes Stanchions and so easy to use. Scott

Beautiful work! What lifeline stanchions are you using?

Thank you Norbert for your kind words :woo_hoo: I have missed some posts for Garibaldi! We had the National Regatta in November 2016 for Task Force 72 in South Australia so I wanted to take Garibaldi for a run at the Regatta even though shes not finished it was still great to sail her with the other guys even if she was the smallest carrier there :heh: She ran like a dream the whole time never missing a beat which was really great, since then I'v done some of the handrailing around her superstructure and I'm working on her Port side cat walks! slow progress but still moving forward on this project! Scott

Hi Scott the model looks fantastic :thumbs_up_1: :wave_1:

A friend of mine in Task force 72 asked me for some pics of Garibaldi with the hull and Superstructure together, I have taken some but I don't really have the room in my shed so I haven't got the whole ship in the photos yet but I will soon. Scott

Hi guys, been busy working on the Nav bridge this week. With the nav bridge walkway pattern made I set out to make the small frame work that supports the stainless steel mesh.

much easier to make on the bench then on the model.

finished the bracing and ready for the stainless steel mesh.

Test fit of the mesh, I used the cardboard pattern from the frame to cut the mesh.

after I was done with the mesh it was time for the radar and aerail platforms to be made and fitted.

Hi Aop, thank you for your kind words and taking the time to look through my build. Yes Bruce is correct in saying that it's not my first model, I have finished two ships in the time that I've been working on Garibaldi. One of those is on here HMAS Canberra here is a link
http://www.shipmodels.info/mws_forum/viewtopic.php?f=13&t=156347
My other complete ship is HMAS Sydney a Hobart class destroyer both 1/72 and some unfinished ships too lol never enough time. Scott :thumbs_up_1:

[quote="HvyCgn9"]

It's his first scratchbuilt hull but not quite his first scratchbuild.....he has a lot of projects he started well before this one!! (Some are even finished like the RAN FFG in back of some of the pix!)

Bruce[/quote]
Oh, but he is very good still...I think these 1/72 guys including you are on the very high standard. I just wish I could be one them LOL! :heh: :heh: :thumbs_up_1:

Aop

[quote="Aop Aur"]How did I miss this thread! What an amazing skill you have! This is your first scratchbuild ship and you got everything perfectly done! I am extremely envy of your work! Such an inspiration for me to build my own!

It's been way too long since I've worked on Garibaldi! Sorry for the late reply Sean and Tegunn. Sean I have a couple of Agusta Westland AW101 Merlins, 5 AV-8b Harrier II Plus jets and some ground crews to go on, but I'm going to leave these till last just need to get this project done. Tegunn thanks for your kind words :thumbs_up_1: So I've jumped back into this build again trying to pick up from where I left off :heh: first I grabbed the two piece rear deck ceiling filed and sanded to fit inside the hull, reason for this is to be able to remove and gain access to the rudder as well as detailing the boat deck areas.

Still lots of work to be done in this area but should be easier with these being removed.
I think it was about a year ago I started working on the Bridge window walkways, only having completed half the flight bridge! I have now finished both.

Nav Bridge
Started making her additional platforms that Garibaldi has on her Superstructure, these were made with the help of making cardboard patterns first and then building the frames from them. This made it a lot easier as well as testing for size on the model as I have no plans just photos to go by.
