  1. Would love to see any progress with this. OC.
  2. Mine was a cheat (loop round and glued - loop round and glued - repeat repeat etc) OC.
  3. I would have done the same mate. OC.
  4. You are doing a really good job at a difficult and frustrating stage mate, the deadeye stage really got me going, as hard as I tried to keep them, all level (I failed) I took solace in being told they would probably move slightly due to the different strains they were under over time. OC.
  5. Looking really nice - it just looks so sharp - you know that look when everything fits perfectly. OC.
  6. This isn't a model - it's a scale car - looking Superb. OC.
  7. Sounds like a plan mate - she is looking Superb a great modeler and a fine kit coming together. OC.
  8. Thank you for the comments guys - will have to see how next year pans out, another thing that sounds good is being able to use none smelly acrylic paints meaning hassle/smell free painting in the house without having all that fuss having to paint outside controled by the weather then having to rush the smelly painted thing through the lounge and into the cupboard before the admiral gets a wiff of it. OC.
  9. Is 47 decibels very loud for a sprayers compressor? could you use something of that noise level in a sitting room without it causing disruption to normal tv watching? OC.
  10. Interesting comparison of size with the previous benchmark destroyers the type 42s with the Fortress of the Seas HMS Edinburgh (my fave modern warship) - the middle of the Two on the left. OC.
  11. Just some bits and pieces from my memory of these family of ships from seeing them come and go where we used to live - they appeared to be a very good ship regarding little role when cornering compared to say the type 42 destroyers, also what I found strange was that the middle anchor always used to partialy lowered when entering harbour (I used to see that with all same fleet) never found out why, also thier tanoy system was very loud often when they were moored in a streatch of water we could hear the tanoys from more than a mile away. Just a bit of trivia from my own memories. OC.
  12. Evening all, more work on the KGL this time adding the strap painting. OC.
  13. "Eye eye" glad to see someone else jumping into the same territory as moi - loverly job. OC.
  14. Thanks Mike, its paused for a bit ran out of spray paint. OC.
  15. Dont know why the kit makers have to split the heli deck like that 2/3rd along the heli pad - they could have made it all one deck (its the same with many modern warship kits like that in different scales). OC.
  16. Absolutley amazing considering it 1/350 scale thats the same scale as the moden warship builds in the forum - and we know how fiddly they are. OC.
  17. Really nice Job Denis, paints certainly do test us - but you pulled it off nicely. OC.
