Why don't you apply the CA to the part, or on the spoit where you will place the part?

Thanks for the likes and the support gents did I ever, OC ... My sentiments exactly LH Although you never know on what track you are ... Lou, haven't found any bonsai crew as yet, so I'll leave them as is for the time being ... most figures at 1/350 come in PE and are very flat ... not much real sailor body Actually, these oerlikons are far better to deal with than the tripple AA's from Musashi, those really give me a bleamin' headache.

XXXL, XXL, XL, L, M, S, ........ what shall I say ... not to big would do I reccon ... 8 parts 20 mm Oerlikon cannons, need another four to complement the type for this build ...

I either apply the glue to the PE, or to the plastic before I attach the item ... if ever I do apply glue when the part is positioned, I press it against the underground with tweezers and use a very thin drill to apply the CA, something like a 0.5mm (broken) drill

Yes you should ... make an end to it ... that is: the build of Vendetta. How can I be disappointed when we get our value worth of build logS entertainment from you ... Insanity ... you could put it that way ... creative is another, or psyco ... ... you don't look fat ... at least ... no fatter than usual which is a thick as a web page can be

I had some problems when using Tamiya "acrilycs" and Vallejo on top of one another, I used that for the camouflage on a Fokker Dr.1 However, I didn't have problems with Vallejo and other brands, especially after lettinmg it cure for a day as you do

Thanks Denis, I like the colour scheme too, should have done it on Vendetta as you did. The demon ... hmmm, yes, there are still quite a few of us struggling with that one ... I don't dream of it, it gives me nightmares , although, only when I consider it which is rarely :) From what I saw, you do not really have the time to dream ... to many interesting builds ... hard to keep up with you mate

The black is verrrrry black. You might try to make it very dark grey ... it will look more in proportion ... although, I do tend to forget it on my own models ... love the shading Butts

Nice subject for a build, Jan. Rather fitting ... hope you don't mind I tag along Quite, what about the woodenb builds ...?

Thank you, Jim, and welcome to a slow moving build, this is the second one of these tribal class destroyers I am building, so painting should go a little better . Still need to do some weathering, but not as severely as the G-class I did before ... bit of an overkill that one. I have got another hull waiting (Eskimo according to Trumper), but haven't decided yet which class I'll make from her. Cheers

tell me about it ... tripple AA's at 1/350 are a bit the same fun ... besides the cranial torture ... they look real spiffy though. love the black circle at the bottom of the gun mount, and the gun itself ... makes for some rather nice contrast ...

still some touch ups on the hull ... damage contol after drillin' the holes for the stanchions ...

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.
