I hear ya, Mark That’s why they call it model making… But sometimes some kits seem more difficult than others and hey, we can’t allow SETELE to set in being bogged down on troublesome kits
Thank you Tim, I really appreciate your kind words: it keeps the motivation to finish this kit going. It certainly is a challenging kit and keeps things interesting to say the least
So, i reckon I’m about due to show an update after a stint building wing things… We pick up on the work on the deck houses, preparing them for paint by filling seams and sanding back to make them invisible, and removing molded on details for replacement with brass PE and other bits and pieces…
Wow, very cool, mate! Great progress, the glacier is moving again, and pretty fast I have to say! Your work really makes a difference to the kit, nice idea with the Prinz Eugen PE - nothing beats a big stash of parts / PE frets from old builds, I keep them all, ‘just in case’, and they come in handy very often!
Just dropping by very quickly, still busy with real life things for another few weeks, so my glacier is on hold for a little longer.
Your way of writing comments in the pictures pointing on the items in question is a great idea, I like it very much! If I find some more time in the future, I might very well copy that…
@TimReynaga Tim, there sure is lots of opportunity on this kit for re-purposing and scratch building coming up Yep, thankfully on this modern ship there’s lots of photos available on the net, so no hiding any mistakes
Here’s a pic I found of Diamond with HMAS Melbourne (my hometown namesake ship) doing joint exercises back before Melbourne was decommissioned
@JJ1973 No stress, mate-I know how that real life thing can drag us away from the bench for long periods… Definitely preferring to put comments in the pictures as a way of pointing out the build elements. Moving along fast now, so hopefully this glacier will be wrapped up by Christmas
@deerstalker36@RedDuster Colin, Si, thanks for that info guys. It’s one of the great thing about the MSW forum, that folks are willing to share their knowledge
For average blokes such as myself, it just looks like the kind of radar gun our local constabulary use to nab speeding motorists, and with the RN probably not willing to give too many of their secrets away, I am more than happy to defer to your wisdom
I’m sorry for the delay in updates guys: I’ve been struck down with the dreaded lurgy, and not been good for much other than sleeping and Netflix… Hopefully back on the tools soon
