Denis, I think not. First steps are quick, but now come the improvements, which will cost far more time because of it's size. Yesterday I did 9 vents, just regular parts of the kit, cutting cleaning, and mounting those took me the better part of an hour if not more! Consider the time needed to start fussing with PE, especially making parts from scratch, like RGL's funnel improvements ... you, on the other hand, can follow at a leisurely pace, look what we did, and decide if you want to do the changes we added or stick to the model

A so you are building/printing the new version RGL, Popeye, and me are building ... Glad I haven't missed a lot, the printer isn't as fast I my slow displacement Interesting build though. Never thought about replacing parts of a resin build to either improve or build another model.

Those may be small improvements, but the make her look good

I like the way your aft funnel turned out! I'll be trying my hand on that one pritty soon. I've got enough left of that, I'll be replacing the reels with leftovers, Nice PE alternative for that life raft platform. Was thinking amongst the same line. I'll be using 0.5mm brass rod, as well for the supports of the gun platforms.

Today's minor progress: Drilled the portholes (didn't count them) which went reasonably fast Mounted the vents, all nine of them, a pain to get them cleaned up, drilled the holes to get them fixed Forward paravane cradles (big word for such a small piece of plastic) Some squarish block, which I suspect is an air inlet for the engines Put together the rear and front 102mm gun platforms and the connecting bridge, forard platform needs some attention (putty - second image) working on the rear mast, making it from bras rod 0.5mm and tubing 1mm (last image)

I know Lou ... ours won't fit, besides the fact that she will rip it to shreds, but Gibbs will, until Dennis gets "Isolation"

I see you've got your own bench Never a dull moment in your shipyard ... you seem to hop, skip, and jump from one model to another ... It would drive me crazy ... I only have to switch between Musashi, HMAS Vendetta, two 1/700 tiny nip subs, 2 1/72 Fokker Dr1's, and a 1/48 Fokker Dr 1 ... besides all the other things to do(!) By the way, I like the colours. Did you ever try a different type of masking tape ...could solve the problem of your bleeding all over the hull

Yes it is. Wonderful work, Amalio. You keep amazing me with your sharp details, and very smooth wood surfaces

Don't you need your beauty sleep, mate. You'll be finished before the US has it's kit delivered, even with all the kit bashing you're doing!!! Hello Dave, It's becoming quite an Aussie gathering ... (I'm still missing a.o. Mr "Vulture" Vadas) Fun indeed, something like your class' project building a plastic kit if I recall well ...

Evenin' RGL, Did you get the "old" tool? My deck parts fit rather good. It seems macro photography is required to show mismatches and other wondrous events ... At the tail end you've been sanding rather severely RGL, that might be the reason parts do not line up the way they're supposed to. I've been using a fine sanding stick and 1500P grid sandpaper to get those injection port dimples off. I had a problem with the bilge keels, quite difficult to fit as the points to attach them are hardly visible on the part itself, and on the hull there are three somewhat undefined dents. Could be improved upon, but probably due to the size of the ship. P.s. I like the base you have for her ... colourful!
