SUMMARY:Naval Seapower in Miniature
DESCRIPTION:Naval Seapower in Miniature\n28 June – 1 July 2019\nWA Shipwrecks Museum\nNaval Seapower in Miniature \nI was born in 1957 in Perth Western Australia and started\nmodelling mainly aircraft interspersed with ships when I was\n5. When I was 16\, I wanted to build a model of HMAS Perth\nand decided to attack an Airfix 1/600 scale model of HMS\nAjax. When completed\, if you closed both eyes and squinted\,\nit almost looked like HMAS Perth. I became a little more\nadept at remodelling Airfix kits until the day I discovered\nbalsa wood! I started building warships to the 1/600 scale\nwhen I was in my early teens and then one day purchased a\nset of plans for the modified Leander Class cruiser HMAS\nPerth (I) that were drawn to 1/192 scale. This combined with\nthe discovery of balsa wood set me on the path of accurate\nscale model scratch building that has seen me build well\nover 100 ships curing my career as a ship modeller. I have\nalways kept to the same scale which has had its good and bad\npoints. The scale is large enough to provide the opportunity\nfor detail but small enough that I don’t have to house them\nin a huge shed. If building a ship from a class of ships\, I will\n(where applicable) try and choose one that sank\, this being\nmy way of paying tribute to those who went down with the\nship. Unfortunately\, this can be quite challenging\, as there is\nusually a dearth of photographs that I can use as a reference.\nI use photos as much as I can\, as I have found over the years\nthat many plans are drawn incorrectly and this is usually only\ndiscovered when you are half way through the build.\nMy passion is mainly for British and Australian warships\, but\nI also enjoy building ships that take my fancy\, for example\,\nI have a Roman bireme\, RMS Queen Mary\, Raleigh’s ship\nthe Revenge and the two Dutch cruisers De Ruyter and Java\ninvolved in the Battle of the Java Sea. The largest ship in my\ncollection is the RMS Queen Mary\, with the smallest being\nHMAS Acute. I also have HMS Victoria\, a pre-dreadnought\,\nHMS Fife\, a County class destroyer\, Kinabalu\, a coastal trader\nfrom Borneo\, HMAS Sydney (III)\, the aircraft carrier HMS\nEagle\, HMS Monmouth sunk in WWI to name but a few. My\nmost challenging model has been that of the wreck of HMAS\nSydney (II) depicted on 20th November 1941 a few days after\nshe sank. Building this model and seeing the utter destruction\nof the ship made me realise how much punishment she\nreceived and how heroic the crew must have been to almost\nget the battered wreck home to Fremantle. I would also like\nto thank my long-suffering wife\, Jill\, for putting up with the\nloss of more and more wall space. Whenever I finish another\nmodel\, she looks at it\, smiles\, makes some nice comment\nabout the model and asks “Where is that one going to go?”\,\nalthough sometimes she doesn’t ask\, but gives me that look.\nGerry Westenberg
