Ok guys after hours and hours of thought reading and planning I'm almost positive that I'm not doing the best job but it's looking to me to be shaping up into a fair rendition of what a ship should look like any thoughts?

Hello everyone Hope life's treating everyone well I was able to get a little time in tonight to work on the old girl I didn't like how I did the rope work on the walk ways on the lower gun deck so I redid them with a thicker black thread that came in the kit since I won't be using it for the rigging Placed the tedious little shot balls in their racks Hope she is looking descent I know she isn't museum quality but for my first build I think she is coming along If anyone has ideas please let me know Thanks for the interest

I use the same bender took a few planks to get the hang of it but it works well Also if you have any raised areas wet your plank and use the rounded end and iron out kinks just don't discolor the planks lol She is looking great

Jparsley reacted to popeye the sailor in RMS Titanic by popeye the sailor - Academy - PLASTIC - 1/400 scale
thanks for the good word gents! I recap the comments from the previous posts
John: we see this all the time......it's not really a surprise. the build was going too good.......there had to be a chink in the armor somewhere. I wish I could say that it's seen less in wood modeling, but I've heard my share of sad tales, where measurements were off and laser cutting had gone awry. the two wall pieces {as for most of the wall parts}, sit in a slight impression of a slot in the deck. they have the tabs as well, so there only one way to fit the parts. it's a pretty easy fix.......
Sam: that's my thought on the funnels as well. I'm going with that in mind. I haven't looked at the link yet......I wonder what scale it's in?
George: I've done kits before that also had the numbers on the parts.......never gave it a thought. just chalk it up to me being me I got lucky with the over spray.......I had a few occasions where it didn't go as planned. it was worth a try....what would have been the worst thing....a repaint? I only mixed up 1/4 oz of the paint..........I have very little left.
also...thanks to all of you who hit the like button
