cog got a reaction from popeye the sailor in HMS HOOD by Salty Dog - Trumpeter - 1/200 - PLASTIC - w/Pontos PE
Every once in a while we need a thumbs up, that's the way to stay motivated, and finish our build. It's not as easy as we sometimes think ourselves when we start a new build. I know I will have a hard time getting my current build done, the PE will be giving me screwed eyes and splitting headaches. Without the visitors giving advice it would be hard, but those whom give moral support are even more important, even the practical jokes have their moments
You are doing fine, keep it up. If you feel the dark creepin' up on you, you can always paint her pink ...

Beautiful Patrick. Your fleet is wonderful. The last sailboat you made with the cutaway section looks so fragile I would hesitate to even breath near!

Hi Vaddoc
Hah yep, you’re right about the last sailboat being ‘fragile’. That’s my model of Ingomar that you’re referring to...definitely one of my favourites as far as sailing models go.
Thanks for your compliments about the fleet, as well. Much appreciated.
Have a great weekend!
Patrick

Thanks to all for all the nice words. I probably would have burnt out by now if it wasn't for the compliments. Very much appreciated.

LIfe sometimes take precedence, Nenad. Good to know you are still amongst us, although "divided". Hope your lady leaves you enough time for the intricacies of rigging
Take care

Planking the main deck. Finishing with highlighting the caulking of the planks with a pencil, as well as the plank nails. And finishing with two passes of a satin matt varnish.

Good day/evening/morning all, well I have some good news followed by some bad, I decided to have another bash on the pearl, I had packed some of my tools away - so they had to be put back on the banch (table), so I blew off some dust (lots) and settled down to pick up where I left off as my hands have improved somewhat, but I now have a new handicap to bring to the table - yep irritating hay fever, not so much the whole shooting match but mainly I can see a flipping thing due to running eyes that are now inflammed and swollen.
I take antihistermine tabs for it but the pollen count is especially high at the moment.
So I made a concious decession - I will put the pearl away till the autumn/winter.
Back to a tidy lounge table with part finished pearl sitting on the dresser - till next time.
Sincerely and warmly thank you to all who take the time to read my words (not the best sometimes) and also thos who press the like thingy - ma - dingy. I will be back on here - Promise.
OC.

ahhhhh, the age old problem goes back all the way to the early model kits.........some have descriptive text, some didn't. I agree....it would have been nice to familiarize the name of the part, so it would give me a better understanding of it's function. looks like you know where the parts go.....that's half the battle look'in really good!

cog got a reaction from popeye the sailor in Missouri by semorebutts - Trumpeter - 1/200 - PLASTIC - Pontos detail up & advanced add on
What do you want to look at? A partly weathered ship, e.g. a weathered hull and clean, crisp, new looking deck and super structures (or vice versa) or an entire weathered build. You are the one looking at it, and you need to ask yourself if you can live with the one or the other ...

That ... that is all up to you. Consider what you want to establish and what would hence be appropriate. E.g. you weather the hull, would you, or wouldn't you weather the deck (super)structures?

Thanks Sam, another little bit. I've finished the "seams" at the top of the bow running back. Started on the forward swinging boom. When I was looking for the parts, it already screwed me eyeballs !!! the boom itself is 3.7cm (just over 1.5") long ... go figure, I get a splittin' headache from the Musashi guns, what will this give me ...
I found an image which is easier on the eyes, than the one I've got for the build instructions
The second boom, the stowed one is even smaller, but has the same nice little parts to it. Ken, if you start her, you are in for some fiddly bits ...
Grant me strength
