  1. Yes, GrandpaPhill, that’s right. Strips of adhesive tape in 2-3 layers, depending on the required thickness of the putty strip. It must be taken into account that liquid putty has its own amount of shrinkage when drying.
  2. Sorry, I didn't mean to upset you! But this means that I have room to develop my professional skills.
  3. Thanks Greg! It is these models made at the beginning of the last century that inspire me.
  4. Yves, no need to worry! This method has been tested in practice by more than a dozen ship modellers on floating ship models.
  5. After the car putty has dried, I check the thickness using a 0.12 mm thick plate.
  6. Hi all! And I continue to work on the hull. The process of depicting external cladding belts. Marking of lines on the hull of the model.
  7. This is a very accurate remark! I have had to verify this many times. Great job, Javelin!
  8. Thank you, Nils! They are needed for the pillars of the navigation bridge. There are none in the aft part of the spardeck.
  9. Yes, Keith, the ship's structure is riveted. Welding at that time was just beginning its journey in shipbuilding.
  10. The great news doesn't have to end, Keith! I wish you a speedy successful recovery!
  11. Hi Jan! Yes, that’s exactly it, the hatches could open to 2 opposite sides. A bracket between the hinges to tighten the lid in stormy conditions. I'll install bolts there later to tighten it down.
  12. It is interesting that according to the staffing schedule, these ships only had 2 officers. It is possible that they are both shown in the photo. Although the midshipman could have been a guest.
  13. Yes, Roger! The problem of overload on these ships was big. Therefore, in every possible way they tried to lighten the structures.
  14. Yves, this is not entirely true. This is a color imitation using cupronickel.
