  1. I'll follow at a safe distance ... if you do not mind ... even if you did
  2. geisha ...? someone needs to poor the liquid when the hands become unsteady ... to spill is a sin ...
  3. the details you added are very fine. Haven't seen such very often on kit builds. Well done
  4. it's the one I'm building. I will do the Huron too. I wanted to do a G class but could't find a kit. should have looked under tribal class At the start I didn't yet know which one to build, then Lou came up with the Glowworm ... what can I say ... I'm a sucker for underdogs
  5. Gawd, that sub must be the cleanest in the fleet OC ... and spoiled rooten for all the rubbin' she's gotten so far!!
  6. Following kit instructions ... you call that fun ... ? So far there has been one challenge: Getting the hull plating to show at this scale. Before that,:To glue or not to glue ... now ripping things up, and adding components, makes it start to look almost like a scratch build a bit of a basratch build It starts to cool down - I know Greg: Tain't 'alf 'ot 'ere - so tonight I'll get my rattle can of flat varnish out and give Vendetta and the two Japanese subs a coat. After drying, the subs get a gloss coating on their balast tanks to make them look whet-ish for some realism when I get on a diorama ... I'm visualising palmtrees , a sandy bay, white beaches, tropical drinks ........ and two moored subs ... whats wrong in this picture
  7. Again thanks for the likes and the comments! CLeared the deck with the molds to stick the platform on. primed a couple of parts, funnels, base of the forard "super"structure, 4.7" guns (inside, and bottom), replaced the bollards, and fairleads. I'll try tomake a picture with the difference kit vs detail up. I'll need to build a searchlight tower, and change the bridge's rear section. Going to have some fun ... that's for certain
  8. (For Lou ) Bringing the aft raised gun platform into proportions for Glowworm ... (glad I have two of this kit, so I can mess up ) ripping it up .. Putting it back together again ...
  9. You meant whip, of course, from a whipping with yer fathres belt Strange but effective setup Piet. Look forward as to how you will finish it ...
  10. and you wouldn't want to disappoint me ... naturally ... you did, as usual, trigger my curiosity though ... cannot wait for the sequel on the bridge's decorations
  11. Don't drag, use the bin icon on the image itself. Very nice, and crisp detail. You really did a wonderful job there
  12. You have a strange building streak by keeping us in suspense ... you know what happens with cunning plans ...
  13. Piet, He means the colour scheme from 1942 to 1944 ... ( ) It really does make a vast difference, Greg, so much better. Is it a tripod mast?
  14. Would that be logical ... It is odd as they seem to be the result of the mezza lune technique. But how would you make a fluent hull shape if you did use them ...
  15. It's a bit like the French measurements before, during, and after the revolution ... but the Japanese added a third dimension, being body length ... somehow they always find a way to make things seem complicated, and when you look into it, it is rather logical ...
  16. When you have them double in your edit box at the bottom where you upload the images to show in your post, you should throw one out, it will disapear from the posting, at least, I presume that is the matter
  17. I have one against the forward bulkhead of the rear gun platform, as good a place as any. You are making nice progress, getting used to 1/350 scale ...
  18. For a first timer, you do a marvelous job, even if you had build before, you are doing a wonderful job
  19. The hull plating I applied with primer over the length of the ship is just 3mm wide ... I'll be needing a brush with a single hair
  20. The point is, when I look at the model in her present paint covering, I can distinghuis the hull plates quite well. What will be the result after the final colour coats have been applied ... will the plating still be visible ... I can try it on this one, and if it isn't pronouced enough, I can add the highlights and shades on the HMCS Huron, which I'll be building too ... decisions, decisions, decisions ... (Never knew plastic models could be so hard to build)
