cobra1951 got a reaction from zoly99sask in Battle Station by cobra1951 - FINISHED - Panart - 1:23 - Also known as Posto Di Combattimento
Cannons fitted out with all eyelets, rings and chains. Also i changed the kit supplied rope for some decent rope They still need to be cut to correct length once i decide where the cannons will be positioned
Placed cannons on deck just for the sake of it to see how they look
Masking tape on the deck planks is there so i don't mess up the planks when i can be bothered to sand the inner gun port liners, I hate sanding

Finally i got the inclination to trim, fill and sand the gun port liners
If i get another bout of inclination i might make some gun port lids next

Yeah the kit rope is really stiff, well worth changing as the new stuff hangs more natural when not under tension

Thanks Per.
Yep sanding is a chore for me because the dust sets of my allergies and i end up sneezing all over the build, and once again it becomes a DNA sample

cobra1951 got a reaction from Eddie in Trabakul by donrobinson - FINISHED - MarisStella - 1:32 scale
Might be worth your while in future ordering some Balsa in from here, even with the import duty it's a lot cheaper than $100 http://www.cornwallmodelboats.co.uk/acatalog/balsa-block.html

I think we all do that when planking and spiling. That is, until we've done enough ships that we can be confident that we're doing it right... but I think only a few get to that point. There's so many skills needed for these things (model ships) it's tough to be a master of all of them

Yeah while it is best to check check and check again, overthinking it can mess you up. A break is a good idea, mine sometimes last days lol
