HMS Audacity. From gaming miniature to 1/700 waterline model.

I wanted my carrier back. Removing her from the mold caused minimal damage to the original and it was easily repaired.

Using the last of this batch of LPP, I carefully cast the new mold...


A copy mold of the Pensacola lighthouse was also made and cast. A pretty good day!
Thanks for looking in!

Those are sharp looking castings, well done sir!

Indeed, it is why I may call on him when I try my casting. Boats may not be my thing but casting is casting and @Rhino knows how to sling resin!

I took my son to his internship so now may actually find some time to wreck Havoc!

HMS Audacity's demise (hem) as it were, from Michael Turner's very fine book, of course.

I don't know what the artist has mounted on the wintergarten but its way bigger than anything they had even on the late models (which this isn't). Nice painting just wrong details.

Very nice casting by the way!

P'raps little was known, at that time about U-751's iden-tity or arm-a-ment, as it were.

The Royal Navy Research Archive has yielded a much needed picture of HMS Audacity's port side and flight deck camo, on a sunny day! The port conning platform is clearly visible. Jolly Good!

If I can see it, I can build it. This renders my flight deck casting quite moot, of course.

The 3D print differs from the actual ship. This affects masking for camouflage, but I shall go ever forward nevertheless.
See how much closer to the waterline the former main deck is on the model?
Yeah..
Yeah.......
Not gonna monkey with that.
My Thanks, chaps, for having a look about, again, of course.

Casting is moot? Hardly, just add a part and it's corrected. Press on!
