The aft sternwalk was made using the excellent supplied PE mesh piece, in conjunction with a paper floor and a paper roof which was given its conical shape using white glue.



The Starfish platform on the fwd mast was supplied as a solid resin casting- good outline but too clunky for my liking-so I made a new platform of cannibalized WEM PE and paper






The open spotting top was supplied as a solid casting-fine for when the ship was in harbor-as the apertures were covered with canvas screens- however with the model representing a vessel underway I made a new platform of paper and a white glue roof

Well there is something bloody right about Jim's model ships today. Such a handsome boat, and such an end that I would even get interested in Royal Navy! Very great SBS as usual, you need a binocular to see the tiniest details..

A great build, and fine template for anyone wanting to indulge in the Grand Fleet roster. Cheers, Peter F

Nice paraphrase there JBA. Anybody else get it? Great build Jim. The "Splendid Cats" were among the most beautiful ships of their time and your build certainly did the Queen Mary justice.

Simply put, beautiful. The small scale makes it all that much more amazing. Thanks for sharing!
