  1. Nice model,
  2. I can only repeat what everyone else wrote. Nice paintwork, looks great.
  3. Because this thing is so small, it is a lot of fitting, searching and measuring That's why i build it this way : First interior and the carriage of the howitzer Then the structure Then the barrel and the sight of the howitzer. Then the extra armor around the barrel. This will work (I hope )
  4. Building the howitzer compartment. Extra detail on the 4 seats New ammo (cleaning the ammo from the kit was more work) and some other extra's Drilling out the barrel I always do this with a knife like this. Just turn the blade until the correct diameter is reached. Ideal method in plastic But, watch out for the fingers... ready for painting Parts painted, adding the howitzer is for later glued together (and a wash with diluted black) Next, wheels an tracks. Again lots of cleaning to do... Thanks for following
  5. I did not find any volunteers 🤣 I can always add a few news papers. Long ago, on the farm of my grandparents, there was a box of old newspapers on the seat of ease. And they were not only for reading ... 😳
  6. If I understand the question correctly battery holder with extended wire, The wire is soldered The wire ends in the clamp together with the copper wires of 1.5 diameter Need light ? Open the helmsman's housing and insert the clamp simple and effective
  7. The LEDs are actually Christmas lights (very cheap and easy to use) The wire is concealed against the ceiling on the decks. And ends in the removable helmsman's house on an adapted "lusterklem" (in English ??)
  8. I don't think that's a good idea. The width of the planks can vary, that of the wale probably not. Have a look at the pdf page 32 2014Gresham.pdf Or check out my Pelican / Golden Hind build somewhere from post 40
  9. Hello, i slowly restarted the Pelican build. So a small update. Made a removable plug for the battery of the LED lights. Not hi tech, but it does what it should do: turn on the LEDs. Some things that may not be completely correct have been adjusted. The stern gallery was also normally used as a combat station. So no sanitary facilities here. The holes are closed. The two holes in the beakhead have been modified, there are now two seats of ease. The black tubing turned out to be a bad idea and was not used. Thanks for following
  10. You have completely succeeded in this. Congrats, nice painting job.
  11. Well, I'm a little very old fashioned. I don't have an airbrush. Simply the old methods. painting, dry brushing and a washing with thinned paint. On plastic Have a look at the military models (links in signature) On wood Paint with thinned paint, Let dry, polish with scotch brite (post 129)
  12. Building the superstructure of both vehicles. The ammo carrier (left) All parts fit 👍 Grrr Some cutting and sanding, and hairpins and glue The gun carrier : little space availeble for many things to place Some extra parts for detail ( from Russian kv turret...) The instructions say to place the cannon first. But I don't know if the parts of the superstructure will fit so i make the superstructure first and dry fit this on the chassis (Surprise, it fits from the first time ) And then the cannon doesn't go in anymore I will place the cannon first and then the superstructure. It's been a long time since I've built such a difficult kit like this one. But we'll get there. Instruction riddles : Make part C and see where you put it an they sometimes forget to number part 5 Thanks for following
  13. When fully planked an sanded, it will look great. Shields, shields,shields. Looks you really like to make them
  14. Great work G.L. And of course, thanks for the detailed explanation .
