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.

Evening all, this evening I was going to carry on with some figures but my modeling glasses decided to break on the bridge corner and the lens fell out - do you think I could repair the break, depsite them being plastic framed neither super glue or my revell plastic glue would repair the break. So I have had to stop till I can sort another pair out or check to see if my other illuminated magnifier is strong enough. I have a 2.00 x mag glasses I use for internet and TV and 3.00 x for my modeling, I thought things where going too well as I got my money back on that top coat (they eventually relented) so I was able to get a couple of jars of Acrylic paint. So will have to wait till the morning to see what happens. OC.

Looking really smart - love the detail on the tracks. OC.

Yep were ok, I am sure you will make a Superb project out of this - combining all your different build skills - they say we all improve in every new project we take on - learning bits from previous. Really looking forward to it my friend. OC.
