good evening everyone thank you for comments and likes this build keeps getting ideas way above my skill levels, i now seem to have a representation of the Britannic, as a steppingstone for someone to come along and show how it should be done, perhaps thats the way the hobby is but if someone was to spend a few more coins than i wish to they could make it look quite nice things that i should have done planned electrics before the build started obtained at least one extra full deck set found a better source for the deck machinery (pumps, vents fans etc after working out how to wire the after red cross i moved midships and looked at the floodlighting of the midships cross, yet again the first attempt melted, even though the lamp had more room

kevinaris3 minutes ago Thank you Andy for your comments, very much appreciated i have spent the day reworking the lighted red crosses, after posting last night i looked around and found a pile of poo where the cross had been, the heat from the lamp melted the plastic, so using a low heat led i have kept the size the same but thinned out the side frames accommodate the different lamps i now have four units, and will post photos tomorrow providing i can get power from the after stack where i left some power lines for this purpose i think i will get a reasonable result

good evening everyone thank you for comments and likes yesterday detailing the after stack and priming in grey today was spent trying to work out how to light the red cross boards, there are 4 of them and floodlights illuminate the large hull painted ones

How many ships rattle?
Kevin replied to harlequin's topic in Building, Framing, Planking and plating a ships hull and deck
apart from all the rubbish, ladders, cannons and other detail that has to be replaced, i always deliberately put a loose note in mine, say, what the build is, date started and completed, photo of me and family, etc etc, , no real reason i do it, i just do -
good evening everyone thank you for comments and likes like all kits, they are not always suited for conversion, and a lot of artistic licence is required to make it work, its not magic, just a lot of worrying, of what people might think of my pathetic attempt to show a build in progress i have two sets of gantries in place, but the spacing between them is slightly different as there is not enough space to put everything in, also the superstructure islands are different between the two hulls however they are are now in place and hopefully staying there, im still thoroughly enjoying this, but so looking forward to getting back into wood some walkway supports are raised a bit, will be sorted Some of the extra detail, ladders and fixing points

Welcome to MSW

unfortunately, they have no added detail, so i have a choice to accept them or try and scratch a bit of extra pipework etc
