babyduck5 Posted November 26, 2008 Share Posted November 26, 2008 This is my 1/35 PTF Nasty class patrol boat. I used the Lindburgh kit with multiple cans of Bondo! I'm also using the Italeri kit for a lot of the detail pieces. I'm working on the 20 mm mounts now and finishing up the deckhouse and deck details. It's taken me a couple of years to get to this point and it will probably take me a couple of more to finish! Hope you enjoy it. If you have any questions, let me know.

11bee Posted November 27, 2008 Share Posted November 27, 2008 Very nice! It looks like you may have a bit of work ahead though I look forward to seeing updates on this. BTW, what are you using for references? I haven't seen much out there. John Quote Link to post Share on other sites
babyduck5 Posted November 27, 2008 Author Share Posted November 27, 2008 (edited) Hi John, Yeah, I think your right. There is still a long road ahead! For references, this site is pretty cool (link). Great photos, technical and first-hand accounts. Unfortunately, I'm doing most of this by eye , so I'm hoping it "looks" right in the end. Most of the detail parts are coming from the Italeri PT kit. The 40 mm, the 20 mm, props and prop shafts, cleats, vents, even the dingy will work. Jim Edited November 28, 2008 by babyduck5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I have been researching the Nasty Class PTF for about fifteen years and you have certainly taken an alternative approach to building the Nasty hull from the keel up.

babyduck5 Posted May 25, 2009 Author Share Posted May 25, 2009 Sorry for not replying sooner. But I have a new toy, and another hobby to dump cash into:crying2: Man this thing is FAST! Anyway, I am tinkering with the PTF here and there and I'm in the process now of getting the hull ready to prime. The 20 mm mounts are also still on the workbench, but I'm having a very hard time finding the right size for the ring base where the tripod attaches to the deck. Again sorry for the delay, Jim Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jeffryfontaine Posted May 26, 2009 Share Posted May 26, 2009 (edited) SHINY! :^) Nice ride you have there. Edited May 26, 2009 by jeffryfontaine Quote Link to post Share on other sites
babyduck5 Posted June 30, 2009 Author Share Posted June 30, 2009 (edited) I've finally figured out how to make the 20mm base mount. I used the road wheels from a Tamiya Panther tank to make the rings. It took me forever to figure it out and now all I have left to do is make the shield and shoulder rests (boy, that'll be another 6 months ;) ). It's suppose to look like the last two photos. Let me know what you think. Jim Edited June 30, 2009 by babyduck5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jeffryfontaine Posted February 10, 2020 Share Posted February 10, 2020 No idea, he was on a roll for a while there with a lot of work done and I was really hoping he would have it done and painted by now. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
