Hi Ian, You have some pretty major work going on there!! BTW: When you "Embark" on your BM build, I do have some spare tiny Plastic and PE bits. If you loose anything, drop me a line and I'll help where I can. Cheers and Regards, Harry. -
Hi Ken, Thank you for your kind comments. I notice a deformed Rail on the Starboard Service Boat Skid.... I think this needs to be fixed. 🙂 No worries about the Flag thing. I'll either post on the forum under a different subject heading or ask Mr Google nicely. Cheers and Regards, Harry.

I have a question for the Forum and am hoping for some advice. I have 3 DKM Flags, two for Bow/Stern Flagstaffs and one "War Pennant" that has a lanyard from the Deck to the Main Mast. So, do I form the Deal around the Flagstaff's Lanyard, or do I wrap Foil around and then the Decal? I wish to put the Decals on prior to installing Flagstaff's/Lanyard. Any sage opinion/advice would be very much appreciated. Cheers....HOF.

Next Update: Completed and installed the 10.5cm AA Guns. (The AA Turrets traverse), (As do the rest of them), I may fix the AA Turrets permanently in place.) Installed the 20mm AA Gun on Turret Bruno. (I think that the poor sod manning this Gun would have a suicide wish when Bruno's Guns Fired!!) Placed Arados, only placed at the mo as I am unsure about thier final positions. Interference Grids almost ready for installation. Enough for one day.... 🙂 Cheers....HOF. Photos:

Hi All, A couple of updates: The first is simple, RV Chima, (Rod), wanted to know what the ABER 1/200 Chain-Link Railings looked like. Thay look very fragile.... 🙂 Cheers....HOF.

Hi Joe, Thanks for that!! 🙂 I am pleased that the Beastie is Rigged, not as complex as the diagrams you so kindly sent me but ever so slightly simplified. (I'll be prototyping the Accommodation Ladders soon enough. Cheers and Regards, Harry.

Thanks OC, Muh appreciated. Agreed, the model is definitely not short on the detail side of things... 🙂 My thoughts are beginning to turn to Cabinet. options. Cheers and Regards, Harry.

Thanks Bob, I think I am "Almost" finished. 10.5cm AA Guns tomorrow and I'm sure that I'll find some other bits to keep me suitably occupied.....🙂 Cheers and Regards, Harry. "

Hi All, Apologies for the bad lighting in the above photos. The next round, I'll ensure some better lighting. Cheers....HOF.

Hi All, A reasonable update: So, Rigging is now complete with the exception of the Propeller Guards. I tried so hard but could not perform Rigging satisfactorily without assistance. (Still dealing with the right Rotator Cuff thing....) So, my lady stepped up and gave things her very best, I am so very grateful and very happy with the result! It took about 4 days to complete in +30.0 C temperatures. HOF busied himself with directing operations, passing Tools/Glue as required. 🙂 Joe 100, (Joe), had provided me with Rigging Plans, (Thanks Joe), but I ended up going with the "Kit" instructions, perhaps a little simplified but these I felt were enough. (Instruction sequence was really good and ensured that one did not "Paint yourself into a corner," so to speak. For the majority of Rigging material, I used "Infini" 110 Denier Lycra Thread and Polyester Cotton for Rigging intersected by other pieces under tension. I gave the Boats a bit of a touch-up and the rest of the Ship and gave the Superstructure a dose of air-brushed Vallejo Satin Polyurethane. (The effect was fantastic blending in all touch up paint. Boats installed on thier Skids. Currently finishing up the eight 10.5cm AA Guns and I may get these installed today. Getting there.... Things left to do: 10.5cm AA Gun Installation Interference Grids Aircraft installation Main Deck Railing Bow/Stern Flagstaff installation Accommodation Ladders and Davits Propeller Guards Anchor Buoys (I think that's it.... 🙂) Cheers....HOF.

Value-for-Money Airbrush

Hi Pat, I quite like the look of the Air-Brush kit. A plethora of accessories!! (I might just have to save for one.) Cheers....HOF. -
Hi All, Photos to go with the "Small" update. I installed the Stern Booms and Stern Anchor Cables. I made up all Booms with a simple jig and painted prior to installation. (I'm not really 100% happy with the Grab Rails but you can't really see them unless you are really close.) (Maybe I can get things perfect with my Trumpeter Bismarck.... 🙂) (There are other aspects of this model, (My work), that irk me but far too late to do anything about them. 😐) It'll be o.k. Not much left to do.... Rigging Boats (Already constructed) 10.5cm AA Guns (Already constructed) Interference Grids Accommodation Ladders? Main Deck Railing Touch-Ups Anyway, "Full steam ahead and damn the torpedoes!!" Cheers and Regards, Harry. Photos:

Hi All, Tiny update. Bow Anchor "Cables" re-done for the fourth time!! My error was not taking the outboard Cables right up to the Anchor Shaft. Installed the Bow Booms on the Hull and am working on the Stern Anchor Cables at present. I'll get some pictures up soonish. Cheers and Regards, Harry.

Hi Darryl, An early photo of my Cutty., this is the 1/78 Sergal/Mantua 1/78 version. The reason I am posting this is the size with reference to the plan on the wall. (As I mentioned, I could not recall what "B" size they were/are. 🙂) Cheers and Regards, Harry.

Hi Chap, The plans that I had enlarged were from the Museum. I got them enlarged to the largest "B" size. (I think that's a "B2?" Not sure sorry..... ) You should ge6 3 plans, Sail, Rigging and General Arrangement, Sheer/Plan views. Once enlarged. they were about 1/96 Scale. (And yes, they took up lots of Wall Space!! 🙂) Cheers....HOF.
