Good afternoon everyone i keep sneaking into the man cave and doing small changes to the build, a door here and another hatch there, surprising just how much extra can be put onto this build, but i do miss the victory the case is temporary, not deep enough by about 1/2 inch but would be a lot more when all the waiste extras (gangways etc) are added

good afternoon For anyone following my log, there is no logic in the build order, i am just changing bits here and there to fill in some time, i looked at the small hangers and noticed a vent was missing so broke out a 3mm drill, make a hole, rolled up some styrene sheeting and put into the hole, gued into place, not quite worked out the best way to make a mesh cover, might be some spare at the end
-
good morning, The only glue used so far is where any modules come in two 1/2, like the funnel, and all parts to the small hangers, every thing else is dry, This delay on the fitting kit, as annoying as i am making it out to be, is not a problem as it is giving me the opportunity to try all sorts of thinks, Three years ago i purchased a compressor air brush, yesterday it was opened for the first time, lol got i a bit of a mess working out how to use it, well impressed with it yhough i have purchased different weathering effects, from a company called flory, like rust and streaking to improve my skills they are like washes, paint on and wipe off and slowly build up Also teaching myself that in reality there is no real difference between wood and plastic,they both are quite forgiving when a mistake is made, one creates sawdust the other, well, mess on the floor, it still annoys the wife when i go into the house trailing it from my socks all this means that come a couple of weeks time, I would think that the build progress would be a lot faster having done some of the prep work, lol - it is not going to be completed by christamas
-
Good afternoon i have much better start to a build than this one. unable to get on with it with out the fitting kit, but never mind, it has given me the chance to try a bit of scratch, this might all be taken off as i try to improve my skills, wire conjuncts, and electrical boxes, and the doors into the search light platforms have been my first attempts please bear with me the doors look to thick and the wire looks out of scale and the painting/glue all looks poor
