Evening all, I did a bit more work with my tissue origami still on the conning tower - so more rails and ladders oh and a few details - binocular stands etc. OC.

Hi all, I had my normal Saturday off so I could relax infront of the tv, anyway onwards on Sunday where I will be battling with somemore Paper Extreme (PE) with a few more sections of Railings and short ladders on the conning tower. OC.

I so love your detail and painting Greg - its getting to a ridiculous stage now where the model is merging into realism - due to a craftsman's skill - lovely to watch. OC.

Just did a calculation - those railings are a Huge 1.2mm tall - no wonder thay are hard to handle. OC.

Evening all, today was "trying the impossible" time - bending and fitting some conning tower rails, I fitted one of the ladders - that was "easy peazy" but the rails - boy was it difficult as its all ready been mentioned this PE is tissue paper thin and if a fold line is bent to much it breaks off, I am not even attempting to fit a couple of levels up - but think what I have fitted is ok. OC.

Thats coming along really well Alan - love the touch with the headlamps - I did similar on my Chally 2 build I used a bit of that acrylic clear water I have, you really are mamking a really interesting looking vehicle here. OC.

Thank you kindly Alan, yep all the small parts are seperate - takes the utmost skill just to cut them away from the spru's - then you have to hope they dont "ping off" mind you I have found a certain way of gluing them down - I make a small pool of glue on the side of my cutting mat then while holding the part with my teezers I touch the part to be gluid in the glue then place it down, if I tried to use the Revell glue needle even that is too wide and too much glue would come out on the area to be glued. OC.

Evening all, some more detail added to the conning tower stack and for scale I have added "sid" one of my 28mm figures - good job there was no giants around then lol. OC.

Splendid work Bill, she really is starting to look rather Special. OC.

Looking good EJ - very nice work mate. OC.
-
Good work there Denis - good to see you back at the bench mate. OC.

Thank you so much for those very kind words, Its an amazing kit but it does challenge a persons skill with all the very tiny parts, they are hard enough to cut away from the spru's and then handling them even before gluing them in place - you need a certain buld tech not to marr what you fit. OC.
-
Indeed - the challenge is handling them - good job they provide more rafts than you need. OC.
-
Thank you Kevin - funny what you can achieve just by messing about. OC.

Mark you have done a Fantastic recovery - we have all been there with the smallest little things looking like monsters - no big worry I say mate. All the very vet best for Thursday mate - we are all routing for you. OC.
