It seems I do not have to retype my response as the previous posts state my findings. I do hope you will get the railings up soon for this geriatric with his 4x4. Lovely work Steve Cheers

Another marvelous build from the Paddy Yard. You really know how to build them mate. Love those compartments on the sides for the toys ...

Vinyl makes it bounce around, like any other hard floor. You should put a sheet on the floor, at least you've got a chance finding it in the spot where it dropped.

Can't imagine, to expensive, takes to long (another trip for them to get galvanised), whilst at sea a paint bucket is at hand, never seen a "galvaniser bath" at a ship ... the whole process is a pain to execute on board, with all the different stadia, I don't know about the cold method which we can use now, but I know it isn't as good as the hot tub and wonder if it was available at WWII yet

Tell me about it, I work at 1/350. I can relate to the feeling. I do, however, find a pair of magnifying glasses quite helpful against the splitting headache, besides diminishing the time working in succession on the model. Good lighting is another important factor

Didn't have much time this week. Put some Tamiya putty on the hull, sanded it the next day, and reapplied. Will have some more sanding to do, and hopefully get on to priming the hull this weekend. Received new filters for my spraybooth today, the old ones were completely clogged. Looking forward to your constructive comments Denis!

Please accept my appologies for my misunderstanding, and base my conslusion on that So Dick could be right ... (just to rub it in), but we shall never know. Just like his remark on the bread basket Then considering the other matter, you could have lowered the "horns" in which the masts, and yards are laid to rest for were those really that high ... or were they just high enough to help the masts drop on those supports ...

You could have lowered it a couple of mm's ... (and the others as well) if we have to go by what Dick wrote: the spurs are to long

Now you know what directions we get to put together some of the parts

About the NRG
If you enjoy building ship models that are historically accurate as well as beautiful, then The Nautical Research Guild (NRG) is just right for you.
The Guild is a non-profit educational organization whose mission is to “Advance Ship Modeling Through Research”. We provide support to our members in their efforts to raise the quality of their model ships.
The Nautical Research Guild has published our world-renowned quarterly magazine, The Nautical Research Journal, since 1955. The pages of the Journal are full of articles by accomplished ship modelers who show you how they create those exquisite details on their models, and by maritime historians who show you the correct details to build. The Journal is available in both print and digital editions. Go to the NRG web site (www.thenrg.org) to download a complimentary digital copy of the Journal. The NRG also publishes plan sets, books and compilations of back issues of the Journal and the former Ships in Scale and Model Ship Builder magazines.
