Next is the start of a RAN Grimsby class Sloop (HMAS Yarra, Swan, Warrego, Parramatta.)

HMAS Yarra's story is my inspiration for this one.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HMAS_Yarra_%28U77%29
www.theage.com.au/articles/2004/04/22/1082616262661.html

Wow, didn't realise I'd left this one for so long - nearly 2 years.

So a bit of attention for HMAS Yarra.
The searchlight / AA stand was a bit fiddly but worth the effort.
HMCS St Laurent behind for scale. (On a side note, I have found that St Laurent is a perfect length and very close in layout to proxy for HMAS Stuart)

Main construction complete.
Primer and quality check next.

HMCS Sackville and Type 13 for scale

Just a little more to tidy up and it's done.

Cheers guys!

Yes I will be. Hopefully in the next month or so.
I plan to mould all of my scratchbuilds and hopefully they will mould well enough to cast, but we shall see.
If it works out ok they will go up in the Marketplace

Looks like a single piece bent to fit?

The breakwater is stretched plastic sprue (the 'frame' around plastic model kit parts) and the bridge railing is a small gauge staple bent to fit
