WAS: more Norwegian ships

Bonjour,

More Norwegian ships:

The minelayer Olav Tryggvason

As can be seen, I used a Luca Tarigo. Unfortunately, it is not wide enough so I laminated strips of Evergreen styrene on the side of the hull until I had the width I needed. I still have to shape the sides and the bow and finish the stern (which I must shorten). Then I will have to make the rear deck, and then the upper structures.

I hope you enjoy my conversions. Thank you for looking.

Regards from Canada.

Bonjour,

Here I made the minesweeper Otra. Her sistership, Rauma, will soon follow:

I did not find any pictures, only a drawing:

So I started with a subchaser again, but this time I had to make it longer.

Otra beside Senja:

Still some work to do on her and on her sister.

Thank you for looking.
