cog got a reaction from SHIPSCAT in IJN Musashi by cog - Tamiya - 1:350 - PLASTIC - old tool
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

cog got a reaction from SHIPSCAT in IJN Musashi by cog - Tamiya - 1:350 - PLASTIC - old tool
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

cog got a reaction from Eddie in Endeavour 1934 by Julie Mo - Amati - Scale 1:35 - America's Cup UK J-Class Challenger
Hello Julie,
I've got the modelbuilder's blues ... My Dolphyn is on hold for a number of reasons, one of witch is the instructions are very poor English and scant, or Eyetalian, which I cannot read, and google translate makes a dung heap of the translation. The other build fell, and I need to do some repairs. I tried a few times but each time they didn't stick. Depressing ... Furthermore, life has a tendency to pop up when you don't need it to. Fortunately no children, so no excuse there.
However, I do not want to quit, so I try to motivate me building other things, like a largely PE based Fokker dr1, home improvement which has been delayed to often, and whatever else I can find. I know I'll come back to those two models. After all, it took me merely 3 years to finish an ini mini tiny scratch build I started as an aside ...
Don't quit on your Endeavour, put it on hold but don't loose it out of sight, you've done a very good job on her! Besides, what's MSW without you!
Cheers

Cool to see more of these big PE-enhanced kit builds coming on MSW. More and more I see of them, the closer I come to wanting to try one (the tiny PE parts must appeal to my masochistic side). Good luck with the build, looking forward to the updates!

We have a nice little family building here, Im still here just been a bit disstracted by my little camera and intermitent spells of blue sky and aerolplanes flying over at 30.000 feet and setting the challenge to myself of catching a photo of the pilot waving at me

I thought your Magellan was great but it looks like Shadow will even be better. Your bulkheads are so clean and neat.

cog reacted to flying_dutchman2 in Surabaya by Piet - 1/80 - Mid 17th-Century VOC ship
Piet,
The ship is looking great and you have done an excellent job with all the details that make this ship. I love this green color you have used on her. The first lion drawing is the best and I have to agree with 'cog' that the second lion looks like it is yawning.

Of course he was yawning - he got bored of posing!

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,

We all go through it from time to time, it's kind of like writer's block. To get through writer's block they say to wright anything, just nonsense. and the act of writing will break the block. I find for model block If I go to the workbench and do anything, move things around, straighten out the tools or supplies, or like you add a plank or two, It helps and soon I'm back up to speed.
