Superb work engineering of excellence in minture. OC. -
Evening all, just a bit more work on the 5th KGL including some toing and throwing as I improve with my technique - I re touch up what I have done before, to get a uniform appearence - including adding "toshes" OC.

I see, so you still have to shape them yourself? OC.

Looking good, and what a great idea the frames being pre beveled - very very clever. OC.

Very nice work Edward - love what you are doing with shaping around the center hatch (very clever and tidy idea) I appreciate what you are going through with the decking mine was the same on my Greyhound build. OC.

You should my friend - its a great way of killing time hours just float away while I'm at the table - also you dont need much room. OC.

Evening all, another 55th Voltigeur finished. OC.

Thats looking super - some times the cannons can look too large for the deck - but not with yours they look really nice, sh eis coming on fine. OC.

Evening all, a bit more progress continuing with the 5th KGL and another 55th Voltiguer, and a group shot of my latest bunch on the workbench. OC.

No worries now Roger - problem solved. OC.

Thank you for popping by Phil and the compliment. OC.

You should add some Marines to your build 28mm British marines would look superb when painted😉 OC.

Enter embarresed emoji - i used to have Two magnifier glass units - now I have none, my own stupid fault the Superglue I used ran all over the lower lens and ruined it. Anyway with the money back off my clear coat and added a couple more pounds I was able to order a multi optovisor arriving later today. OC.

Looking super. OC.
-
Thank you kindly for the compliments ( after looking at them under higher magnification I can see many flaws that will need sorting) its that well know situation - the more you zoom in the more errors we find. I will have to hunt out these reads - to be honest Im mot much of a reader - im ok with technical books - used to love the Janes series of Warship books. OC.

I appreciate that bro, I would never have known about that - one just assumes superglue will bond all plastics, and if not superglue then normal Revell plastic glue would have done it (I thought) learn something every day. OC.
-
Yep I hear you Ken, very tiny little loupe so hard to use it by the look of it, I think the combo of the two glasses will be ok as long as I can keep them fixed together - the superglue has kind of tacked them but as the glass ontop is ground glass and quite heavy - I fear if I move the arm at an angle it might break away - hence why i need to create a couple of clips that can be glued to hold the glass. OC.

Havn't got any acetone bro. OC.

I know, its weird they must use a special glue defence plastic, and I am sure not gonna tape them - dont want to look like that old Duckworth dude off corrie, no way. I may have found a fix - I have two different illluminated magnifiers one is a heavy jobby with a seperate light and glass, the other one is a plastic Halogen(I think) unit with the glass in the middle and one tiny extreme magnifier, I had an idea and had to try it (you know me)😉 I got the Plastic one under some light then got the other glass put them ontop of each other and tested with a figure underneath using my normal glasses I use for my laptop, hey pressto the combination of the two gave me a lot more magnification - I could even see the flaws in my painting (that needs reworking). Anyway I got the superglue out ran some around the edge and pressed down the top glass, it will still need some kind of clips to stop it falling away when I angle the arm. OC.

Thanks Ken. OC.
