Um, NZ is in the Commonwealth games.......

i Just hate doing the ships boats as I reckon they just look horrible. Thus cover them with canvas. 

The colours even match up

Big guns done, even the triple levels on the barrels, they need some weathering yet plus handrails, which will be about a full day’s work. 

The secondary guns complete

Starting to get the next lot done. Firstly the anchor chains with some extra detail for chain stoppers and hawser Home covers. 

Hobbyeasy is advertising the mast set and barel set, just tormenting you.....

The colours are simply marvellous. The modulation is just right. 

@popeye the sailor, yes, no and no. I still have a lot to do on KGV 

Sorry, most of us don't have a spare 6 metres in the house to  build one. Mind you sourcing the aircraft and the crew would be fairly easy.

More teasers for the Seydlitz though, if you remember my Dreadnought, it can be done in a similar manner.

Get stale? 

Nearly there. 

Back to work now so wont be done in a hurry 

The next lot in the paint cue, davits, focsle equipment, etc etc. I even ordered more carley floats. With soo many tiny pieces I have to alternate as I’d just go mad. 

That’s a hair cut, right?

Every day?

AS previously stated, Pontos based this kit on Tamiya’s Prince Of Wales not the KGV. As such the central catapult area is a retrofit and there is no protrusions at the end of the Cats on the side of the ship provided and have to be scratch built. The 42-43 version did have the armoured splinter shields instead of railings and I have yet to add 8 single 20mm guns. Yes, I also have to fix up the paintwork and add some large scuppers. 

Nicely bent into a hook and.......

they are also good for poking fun at the Dutch

I use acupuncture needles, packet of 100 for about $5 

So if I have staff does that make me a cat?

You’re flying along, looking good. It’s funny how the camera picks up things they mk1 eyeball misses. 

I’m watching another build of her on FB, it’s a very busy ship, a lot of detail 

Or insert some LED’s inside......

So true, small scale also hides mistakes but if I were to build her again I’d do individual stanchions. 

Love them a lot. You are soo right about Pontos instructions but I keep going back.
