This is the first test of the model, pending all light and the control panel gauge, maybe change some textures

Nice! Seen her in person many moons ago as she came to port in our city. Took these on my old 35mm that day. These photos are scanned from printed photos:

Great looking ship Walter,nice job.
Very nice! Minor observation in the first shot the superstructure looks too tall, or maybe the hull is too far down in the water? Annoyingly I don't think I kept any deck plans from when I was on her.
Saw her regularly on the Clyde whenever she put in to Faslane/Coulport, also got to go aboard twice, looking forward to this one
"Thou shalt maintain thine airspeed lest the ground shalt rise up and smite thee"
I use this for the line and size of her
Now then matey Skippy is indeed correct - the superstructure on and around the bridge, flyco and admirals bridge just looks a little bit too tall as if it's been stretched slightly...I think the proportions of bridge height against the funnels is correct but the funnels themselves look a bit too tall which is probably affecting your proportions.
I spent nearly a year modelling Invincible, illustrious (and then remodelling) Ark Royal so I know how hard it can be to get the dimensions right...so I commend your work!

thank you, it is difficult without accurate information, many photos from different times, but there are not many detailed diagrams of the changes and added to the little experience in modelingNow then matey Skippy is indeed correct - the superstructure on and around the bridge, flyco and admirals bridge just looks a little bit too tall as if it's been stretched slightly...I think the proportions of bridge height against the funnels is correct but the funnels themselves look a bit too tall which is probably affecting your proportions.

thanks, still in progressGreat looking ship Walter,nice job.
Nice model😀 The illustrations from Shipbucket unfortunately vary a lot in quality and accuracy. If I have no other option than using a shipbucket drawing I usually make an overlay with a real photo taken at an angel as close as possible to 90 degress to check dimensions. It is not as good as a real GA plan but it does save you from some mayor setbacks when you realize that the illustration was wrongly dimensioned... eg the type 45 I am working on now the illustration was 10 % too wide.

That looks much more like it! Good work!I correct the proportions , left is the new one
Testing of the elevator animation in the HMS INVENCIBLE

Hi
I must correct you on the name of the ship.She is HMS Invincible.
Invincible means unbeatable.
The Falklands war HMS Invincible and HMS Hermes served with the fleet.
They were affectionately known by the troops that served in that action as the invisible and the herpes.
Cheers Chris
The name is written in Spanish, since I'm doing it for a group that speaks it, and don't make the change
Agree with Skippy - Height looks accurate now - looking good!
With all I've read on that particular conflict I can't believe I've never heard this before
"Thou shalt maintain thine airspeed lest the ground shalt rise up and smite thee"
Testing a panel for the lights, elevator and air wing
Very good work with the control panel...
The other one was "Hermesetas: Dissolves in Hot Water" as Hermes (having taken over the Task Force Flag) was withdrawn from the threat of air attack most of the time, leaving Invincible as the forward deployed carrier.With all I've read on that particular conflict I can't believe I've never heard this before
Have you read Sharkey Ward's "Sea Harrier over the Falklands"?
I've only been on Illustrious once, at a Plymouth Navy Day. Seen Invisible from a distance, so her nickname clearly wasn't accurate.
It'll be really good to have a rendition of the class in the sim again.
Cheers,
Ian P.
Yeah read it a few years back, currently loaning it to my barber. About to start on "Hostile Skies" by David Morgan, have heard it gives a more balanced view of things... Ward kinda goes off the deep end a few times.
"Thou shalt maintain thine airspeed lest the ground shalt rise up and smite thee"
added air wing, Harrier GR 9 and SEA KING
