Thank you Thank you Thank you Thank you Thank you Just two figures, a small crate, small blueprint and it tells a full story in the shipyard (I made an attempt to put a bottle and 2 cups on the crate. But on a scale of 1/110 it did not work out very well) Dull colors and rusted copper... (Once a military modeller, always a military modeller ) No more big covid problems, but still tired quickly -
If I now add Tahiti ladies... then we have a party and then there may not even be a launch of the ship 🤣

I have the same problem, does anyone have an answer for this. The photos are on my PC and I don't have a URL Update: The photos are in the gallery. But I don't know if they are in an album

Final update, the anchors. The anchors of the kit. The improved version of the anchors and 2 of the 5 figures that will be used Discovered that the anchor cable i used is a bit too thick... Anchors in place This is where the build of this model ends. Friends of ours bought this kit for the kids, forgot about it in the attic, and then it almost ended up in the bin. To be built later by someone who only has experience with plastic military models Overall, I am satisfied with this little model it gave me many hours of building pleasure Photos of the complete model. To bring some life into this diorama. An inspector from the Royal Navy listens to what the shipbuilder has to say about the ship, before it is approved for service It probably didn't work that way at the time, but these 2 figures supplied with the kit were very suitable for this setup Thanks everyone for following, comments, good advice and likes

Seen from this angle it is indeed correct. Sorry I kept you awake 🥺

Beautiful work Rodolfo. A practical question (it can also be a stupid question) If we put bolts here Then it looks like these planks are bolted permanent to the opening in the deck. How do we then open this hatch when we have to be in the hold?

Did some extra detail (rope)on the belaying pins. These have become almost invisible, so they were made of a simple round plastic strip. New swivel guns have also been made, simple made cannons but better than the one in the kit. To have a tapered effect parts of stretched sprue are used. extra detail. Kit cannon versus home made version The swivel gun supports on the rear deck are made too high. The guns are so high in relation to a person that they are only suitable for use as AA guns... or to shoot at seagulls Delicate moments Cannons mounted and ready for action.

You are definitely building an A version. The hull of the G version was different and simplified to increase production. If you want to know the differences, no problem.
-
Good news. I knew I had a gray panther somewhere 👍 (this is a G version and not an A).
-
Good idea, I'm going to enjoy this too 👍 But, a Panther in Panzer Grey was a very rare thing on the European front (1944-45) (There may have been one in this color when all the sand yellow paint was used up )

Another nice addition to the collection 👍. -

The more I read about the ship type "fluit" the more respect I get for the people who build them, both in the past and in the present. What a difficult shape to build Congrats with this model Marcus

Well said. Thanks, Build update The mizzen sail is adjusted (thanks Roka) and all running rigging should be in place to operate yards and sails. Probably not every line is tied to the correct belaying pin but it is much better than the kit instructions. Next to do things : Make swivel guns, those of the kit are too thick, make the anchors, etc .. And apply extra ropework (picture) The Heller SR, roughly the same scale (built long ago) and the Bounty Corona update The healing is going well for me and my wife Still tired easily. Shipyard time is a little reduced because we take a short walk once or twice a day to get more oxygen into the lungs. The Flemish fields Recently I read a good description of what the lungs feel like when you breathe with corona. "It's like an elephant is sitting on your chest and you can barely breathe". (Believe me it feels like that sometimes) Thanks for following,comments and likes

Panzer II by jct - FINISHED - Tamiya - 1/35 - PLASTIC
Baker replied to jct's topic in Non-ship/categorised builds
Nice model -
Where can you find the right information (my idea) Books: I never trust them blindly Replicas: are usually "full of errors" Internet: anyone can post anything here The remains of the one and only original example of the Bounty is located somewhere near an island far away from here. Considering no one bothered to take detailed photos then. We do not have a "walk around" book available. This build is relaxation for me, if a certain color is not right or a rope is knotted incorrectly so be it.

I found another model with this application (Some of us will recognize the photo). A very beautiful model !! Whether this is the correct way or not, this is the most elegant and logical solution. The bamboo plant stick, thinned down to size. and in place on the model (with the smaller Revell blocks)
-
free advice Normally the standing rigging is done first (black wire) That is the wire that keeps the masts in place. Then the running rigging (natural wire color) That is the wire that the yards and sails operate

Nice painting on the figures

Thanks to all for the rigging info. I tried to make a "block". The shape could be a bit better with some more practice, but this was a first prototype. Length 1.5mm width 1mm thickness 0.5mm Making these blocks should work for me, but rigging them ... On the first try, the little block decided it was scared of rope and jumped somewhere far away on the kitchen floor 🤣 😳 This is far too small for my ability and not relaxing. I'm going to clean up and use the blocks provided in the kit (work in progress)
