FatFingers Posted June 24, 2016 Share #62 Posted June 24, 2016 The closest image I could find that shows the handedness of screws on a contemporary of Dreadnought is this image of HMS Malaysia at Invergordon: http://www.theinvergordonarchive.org/picture/number1356.asp I think it confirms Jim Lad's information.

RGL Posted June 24, 2016 Author Share #63 Posted June 24, 2016 I believe Jim! The problem is to change them now will destroy the entire assembly!!!!when the model is complete, and the nets are slung out, it will hopefully not be so noticeable. They are about 7mm is diameter.

RGL Posted June 25, 2016 Author Share #68 Posted June 25, 2016 I'll probably leave it as is. Given there is no detail, there is very little to work with. I don't want to weather it apart from bringing up detail and leave it as a builders model. Weathering is like being a little bit pregnant, you are or you aren't. This would have been a filthy ship given the times, and to do it properly it would be covered in streaks. Your thoughts?

Just a bit of lightning with almost like a artists powder white - just to catch the high points and details, but if you are like me I want my hull red around a dull satin colour, best achieved by buffing a mat sheen I think, , thats my approach with my hull and I would think yours is not far off that.

RGL Posted July 3, 2016 Author Share #77 Posted July 3, 2016 Next is off to the flying bridge . The first of the guns have to be added, namely 10 12 pounders. The unpainted bits are, from left to right, North Star with the Pontos barrels, then the kit supplied with the Flyhawk barrels (which are 3mm longer, then just the kit one. The kit one is not bad, but just not detailed. The photo shows the real thing and the upper area of the barrel is almost silver, I tried gunmetal but it was just too dark.

RGL Posted July 3, 2016 Author Share #78 Posted July 3, 2016 As this part of the kit is fairly well covered up by the boat deck, not a great deal of detail was included. I replaced the search lights, added a front grill, cut off and replaced the winches, added fairleads and ladders. Grey is such a boring colour after the other kits.

RGL Posted July 9, 2016 Author Share #82 Posted July 9, 2016 A bit of a re think and the deck has to go down so as not to catch on stuff. A simple exercise? No, after laying the thing down painstakingly, after a few hours the thing keeps popping up in sections. Using a sliver of PE and thin CA over the last few days I have been making running repairs to get the thing to sit properly. Still looks good and makes me happy with the guesstimate of the paint colour. I have now down up all the boat deck and funnels but will now not paint or attach anything until I have done up the deck hatches. dgbot, Elijah, AnobiumPunctatum and 18 others 21 Quote Greg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RGL Posted July 9, 2016 Author Share #85 Posted July 9, 2016 The deck has an adhesive backing, so it "should" just stick on. When I placed it on it stuck, then a couple of hours later it popped up in places, which I rubbed down thinking it needed heat, and a few hours after it kept popping up, thus the thin CA as anything else would leave bulges Canute, WackoWolf, Elijah and 3 others 6 Quote Greg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RGL Posted July 10, 2016 Author Share #90 Posted July 10, 2016 There are a myriad of deck hatches, and Pontos and Flyhawk both have some gaps in their plans. In particular the engine vents that Pontos just chose to ignore. There is a LOT more detail to go on top the decks but this will do for now to save snags.
