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

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

Forgot to ask why you should use white glue on paper ...

cog got a reaction from Piet in SHADOW by Omega1234 - FINISHED - Scale 1/300 - Luxury 60m Mega Yacht
Nice to see you at your 3D jigsaw again, Patrick.

cog reacted to Omega1234 in SHADOW by Omega1234 - FINISHED - Scale 1/300 - Luxury 60m Mega Yacht
Hi folks
I haven't had much time to devote to Shadow over the past few weeks, so... progress has been pretty slow.
A very quick update: So far, I've only managed to set out the bulkheads on the Sun Deck's accommodation and the tender garage below decks. I know it all looks pretty rough at this early stage, but at least it's a start.
All the best for 2017, everyone!
Cheers
Patrick

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

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!

Bleah, all you latecomers I was first in this thread (apart from the OP himself), just like I was the first in Dan Lester's thread! Plastic models + PE ... love them. And no, I don't own shares in a prescription glasses company.

Looks good, Jack. I like the boat davit and cleats working like they're meant to be used.
