  4. Good evening everyone, LOL i dont post for months then here I am two days running Rigging one of these is for me a bit hit and miss, I don't have enough research books to see where all the lines are secured to, I f i get another day on her tomorrow, i should have have most of it done, it is an elasticated line in to thicknesses EZ line i think its called dont show so well with this backdrop, on top of the rubbish bin
  5. Good evening every one, I have put quite a lot of time into this build and hope to have her finished within days now, (subject to change) Im quite pleased the way she is turning out, hope everyone is having a great Sunday
  6. Lots achieved today, she even has props fitted, but apart from small weapons to be painted and fitted,and some radar sets I will now concentrate on weathering her for the next day or so and then finish her off with the rigging, have enjoyed this build, and have other projects lined up like the 1/200 USS Hornet and 1/200 Sovremenny, but it looks like i am now back in the mood to push on with the Victory
  7. Congratulations chuck, another fine build, how times fly, that 3 years went by fast
  8. Good evening, Im still adding loads to the build, but can see the end in sight and actually have a completed builds portfolio to my name LOL most of the armament is made and in paint, then wethering and rigging, hope to complete her within a couple of weeks
  9. Good afternoon Apologies for my absence, i have been contemplating walking away from the hobby, but decided against it, I dont know why i have lost interest in so many things and ............ anyway im here and the Bismarck has been progressing she has some teeth now with the big guns in place, the ships boats will hopefully be in place in the next week or so
  10. Jerry go to page one of your build that you want the signature for and copy the link, and apply/paste it in the signature box in your profile,
  11. Don't quite understand why some of my much older posts have reappeared, I'm still around and again busy in the man cave, ship building, but not any of my threads here on MSW, its another 1/200 Trumpeter kit Sovremenny, and to put it bluntly it is an awful kit to build, and not worthy to be listed on here, it is being put together solely for experience in airbrushing Looked at the Victory yesterday, she is fine, so here is where I left her off in September 2016
  12. Lovely work Danny, and even nicer to see you back at the modeling desk
  13. Wonderful work Sjors, sorry I have not been around more to see it completed
  14. wonderful work, great fun rereading you build, as I tend to be away a lot from MSW recently. I am currently working on a 1/200 trumpeter kit (Sovremenny) to get used to the airbrush, then hopefully get back to the Bismarck to test the new skills on her, Yesterday my next big project arrived Merit 1/200 Hornet
  15. Lawrence Good evening I changed my job about 6 weeks ago, and now work in the real world 5 days a week, it has taken me some time to adjust to the work, but now getting into a new routine, its not hard work, but on my feet from 0900 to 1730 working for a private health care trust. I get into the man cave when I have the chance, and working on a 1/200 model, but that is not on a thread within MSW, it a OOB with some PE but everything else is again on hold, have a week of soon so hope to post something new
  16. good evening Sjors, sorry not caught up with you recently, your build looks fantastic, hope yourself and Anja are both well and a belated Happy New
  17. wow, love the sails work, lol you still have my attention
  18. Good morning Lawrence, and happy new year I made a new years resolution to complete a model, so the Bismarck is being worked on at present, the reason i put the Victory to one side again, is that I dont know how to proceed wrt to the sails and a final way of finishing her of in a diorama setting,
  19. of course there is the Pegasus by Victory models at 1/64 http://www.cornwallmodelboats.co.uk/acatalog/victory-models-hms-pegasus.html lol I don't know if this is the same kit Amatri/victory models and from Model Dockyard in the UK http://www.model-dockyard.com/acatalog/info_VM5.html
  20. of course there is the expensive option but spreading the cost, of a part work like http://www.model-space.com/gb/model-ships.html?__utma=210999945.1924374388.1483983500.1483983500.1484343799.2&__utmb=210999945.1.10.1484343799&__utmc=210999945&__utmx=-&__utmz=210999945.1484343799.2.2.utmcsr=bing|utmccn=(organic)|utmcmd=organic|utmctr=(not%20provided)&__utmv=-&__utmk=72032720
  21. And still a lot of amidships detail to go in, I already have my next project lined up in the same scale, 1/200 Sovremenny, with the detail set being sent from WEM
