Jan,
I get them from different places. Have to take a look into my invoices... One of them is 30 years old, and comes from a stamp (the ones you put on letters) shop in Rotterdam. I like medical tweezers too. Most model building tweezers aren't very accurate or "stable"

Yesterday evening I tiled the top of the other two turrets. The first one I started from the wrong end. With the last two I went front to back, which made gluing a lot easier
This afternoon railings on turret two (darn, forgot the bottle Robin )

Good to see you here Mike, Jan, OC, thanks for visiting
Some more pics. Pontos PE (Keith, got this set from Australia)
Some reference material
And the underside of the turret. At first I thought it were etched lines, looking more closely ... it's a mesh!!!
Cheers

Keith,
You must have an alarm on new topics which are plastic models + PE!! Maybe no shares but then you must own a couple
Good to see you Robin, I'll be looking for bottles
Allan,
I'm not going to use Brasso, despite that hughe can from Robin.
Ken,
Don't make a mess, I would like to be able to find my dropped parts
Denis,
Thought you might like some twinkle stuff, great to have you aboard!

Hello Nigel,
Last year August I bought these
I've been working with the latter one on the turrets and the gun. It makes life a lot easier on the eyes. At least I do not get headaches!!
Cheers

My hands are in spasm, my eyes are cross sighted, and those half mm pieces won't stick to where I want them to stick ... Masochism is a weak expression to say what I'm going through!! You know ice speedway ... I feel like the ice

As promised ...
Yesterday's harvest
Today I started on some other detail. Greg has done something likewise (tripple guns) It seems he is working on what I start with now. 25 single 25mm guns. At a scale of 1/350 the parts look a bit like this (get your magnifiers out)
Wish me luck in keeping all parts on the table top ...

So far I've invested approximately 4 hours over the last few days in this build. I started with the main turrets ... still going on turret number 1
1st clean up the plastic base
2nd add the brass (1 piece of railing has not yet been glued, 2 pieces more to add)
All the brass on top, and at the fore, are not in the Pontos set. So far it is just FlyHawk PE

Finally started on this big plastic tub. Besides the invisible PE from Tamiya - bring x-ray goggles - I've got both the Pontos detail up set advanced , and the FlyHawk. The latter is quite impressive. No pictures from the Pontos PE. I forgot to take pictures, and on top of that I just dropped my coolpix on the ground, lens first. It seems I might just as well buy a a new one, as repairs will cost me about the same
The Flyhawk had the Nagato booklet, but they sent me a replacement. It seems it is easier to find what parts go where with the proper booklet
Sister ship is built by Greg IJN Yamato 1:350
This will be a slow (agonising) build. I've decided to start with all the small parts like guns and turrets to get some dexterity with the PE. This is worse than the stripdown Fokker DR1 I build from Eduard

Jason! You must have been busy ... and right now I can say you didn't miss it. Maybe a bit tarded, but present and accounted for

Hi Carl,
Wow...the turrets and 25mm gun look amazing, but I finally caught up with just how small these PE kit parts are!
Are you using a magnifier or a microscope to put these together?
Cheers,
Nigel.
