HMS Grimsby-Constructo 1:65

I joined here late, I have the Hull done but there’s still alot to go. I moved 4 years ago, and I haven’t got back into the ship since. It was started in 1990, lol.
I used to work at a large Display Shop. There a guy that did our plexi work, made the case for me. I made up the base. We had a display once that used Sappele wood, I got a lot of scraps. Since some parts didn’t work out, I would cut new. I thought I had the main mast done but it’s missing some PCs. I need some supplies but now is prob a bad time, I imagine the places are closed, anyway, I got the build table set back up, and I’m here. Heres a few pics till I actually get building again. Plan is tobuild the last 2 masts, rig cannons in the decks, 6 you see, then do the rat lines wich scare me, lol. I’m not sure how to begin. I do have the plastic jig from Model Expo. I wonder if they are still in Buss.
after some research, It seems the ship never existed, I like the hull design, I found a few pics in a book I bought, ill post them.
I guess it’s a Cat design, Bark? Collier. Carried coal. Any info please post.View attachment 140856View attachment 140857View attachment 140858View attachment 140859View attachment 140860View attachment 140861

Hey thanks guys, with finishing up a huge project on my house, new GF,some things to do on both summer cars, I’ve been so busy I have t had a day on the Ship, but soon. It’s cooling off here, should be some ship time soon.
also, I made the mistake of building tone mast up completely, 2 not, I’ll see what is better, the only thing, flung it in PCs putting poly on it may be harder. Not sure. Next pics will be the rat lines. Stay tuned............

Thanks guys, I need to get on the ship building. Had another big project at the GF’s place, then I just had shoulder surgery. I’m going to try to work on the ship since I can’t do anything else
