cog got a reaction from popeye the sailor in IJN Yamato by RGL - FINISHED - Tamiya - 1/350 - PLASTIC
Which means you keep the build on hold ...
Interesting book though. I especially wonder if differences will be mentioned between these two giants ...

If you don't have hair you DO need an AIRbrush

Greg,
H&S have a few different ones, made a choice yet? The Evolution I haven't tried, I liked the preset on the Infinity, thus I chose that one. If I feel wealthy, I might just get me an Evolution. Although I'm still very attracted to the idea of getting a medium size spray gun for large area's

Hmmm, that I can understand, but you don't want them underneath ... which happens when you don't slide/push them off the side ... nothing beats a fishy control though

cog reacted to Mirabell61 in SS Kaiser Wilhelm der Grosse 1897 by Mirabell61 - FINISHED - scale 1:144 - POF - first German four stacker of the Norddeutscher Lloyd line
Update :
Build log part 50....
I`ve taken down all the boatsdeck, the dry fitting and vents, etc, in order to prepare for the permanent mounting of the aft boatsdeck half. But first there must be some fitting out to the promenade-deck-after-half portion like....
- fitting the mahogany handrail to the long railing
- mounting the 6 anchors on each side for the aft mast shrouds and backstays (they will go upwards through the boats deck in twelve places whilst the boats deck is glued on to the brass framework and the deckhousings below. Also the holes for the vent tubes and the aft mast that go through the deck have to be brought in alignment. Trust that all will be quite a tricky moment, hope it will go well and like it was intended.
- All the figurines on the aft half of the promenade deck must also be placed before the boatsdeck goes on (otherwise no access later !)
The little red tape markings on the outside frame are for showing where to put on the clamps when glueing the deck down...
Nils
Mahagony handrail all around. Red little tape markers, where to put on the clamps
10 of the 20 benches (scale 1:144) go on to the total promenade deck
the blackened anchors go through the boatsdeck when it is on and are for fastening the aft mast`s buckle screws of the shrouds and backstays

You will not regret going with a H&S airbrush. They are ahead of their competition in terms of ease of cleaning and high quality.

Banyan, yes, yes they were, the radius of the stanchions on top of this piece is even smaller, so I will add the wire to the stanchions first then curl them into shape, the tricky part with this one was there is a 20 degree Angle between the first and second hole. A .3mm drill bit (they come in packs of 10 as they break very easily) allows you to dip the stanchion in glue then and drop it in, then if required, use a tiny piece of offcut railing to add a tiny drop of glue to strengthen. When I did my other builds I used the same stanchions but used the elastic rigging but for this build I will use copper as I want them painted.
I am going to ask the wife for an airbrush for Christmas and I'll go with your recommendation of the H&S.

Very, very, very nice progress, Patrick. The superstructure looks great, and I have the distinct feeling the interior will look smashing ...

No way, Jay, would make it something with Rotterdam tied to it ... something like: De Kralingse Snijder (Cutter from Kralingen)

Nice work, Jay. It seems you have a knack with the knife. Especially liked the first two posts!

Looks good Greg, very fiddly work indeed and I just hope my 'trembling' old fingers can cope WRT copper wire those handrails must have been a real b....r to do?
Comment duly noted
cheers

The rails are 0.3mm copper wire

That rangefinder looks super greg, I like the rails - did you have to bend them to give them sag or was they like that on the fret?

Before I do a breakdown on my next piece, I have spent several days working on the Main tower bridge rangefinder. Without going into the kit instructions, the reference has it looking like this;
The Pontos instructions give you this the front hatches are added but not in the instructions and the metal walkways are included in the kit, as is a handrail which looks no where as natural as the rails I added.
So, building it up and adding some extras, such as individual stanchions and a few extra hatches it comes up quite nicely.
The main gun control tower goes on top of this and I will do a little tutorial if you wish?
