RGL got a reaction from GuntherMT in HMS Dreadnought 1907 by RGL - FINISHED - Zvezda - 1/350- PLASTIC
Things should move along quickly now. This is the first time I've actually used rails for a ship, as I usually do individual stanchions.

The Pontos rails were very nice, so why not, as they have very nice braces. The next one will be individual stanchions again.
So, what should it be? Borindino? Mikasa? Yamato?

Now, I have finally placed the old girl on its Jarra Base, (which I have wrapped in plastic to save drips..
Next is the flagstaff's, which I have to add next as the rest of the rigging requires doing before the railings.
After the placing of lots of turnbuckles for belaying points, I have added the awning and hammock lines. I also rigged the coaling derricks on the main mast.
Finally, in the back ground to my desk is a photo I took at dawn back last century from the HMAS Bendigo of a tramp ship that had just deposited 300Kg's of Heroin on our fair shores. It didn't get away.

Puddles of glue on a hard plastic surface, dip a pin in or an off it of brass etch the apply to either the piece I'm using or the place it's going (if that makes sense?). If it's load bearing I'll put a tiny drop on top of the piece that bears weight.
The pins get a build up of hard glue after a while which I burn off then sand back to a clean surface. Less is more with CA.
Like a tall ship, it's lots of pre prep, as one something has been painted off kit it will not fit as the tolerances are so small, if you paint something that fitted into a slot pre painted, it won't fit post painted, or it won't fit flush.
CA works best on unpainted etch or plastic but the result is usually crap after painting as the detail is lost, especially if you're going to have differing colours, so I try and do everything as piece work, and use a tiny bit of matte coat by hand on glossy bits of CA. I'm not a proponent of over spraying with a matte coat as at this scale it loses detail to my eye (I have very good close vision and it upsets my OCD).
I like to pre drill required holes then add eyelets afterwards otherwise the hole fills up with paint and you can't rig without having to risk major breakages clearing holes.
I hope this makes sense?
