good evening everyone thank you everyone for comments and likes Main mast shrouds upper and lower been a great couple days, and just fell back into the build routine, having left a list of what I was doing and what was planned to do next save a lot of messing around most of the back stays are also in just another 3 to do both side, then i will have to think about making up the mizzen

good evening everyone well the scratch for a non ship build has been scratched a lot of members (well one) was hoping i would just continue with the SD14 but i do miss the wood and string, and as i will be purchasing the Vanguard Models HMS Indefatigable, i thought i would pick up where i left of last October/November time on the AV so the shrouds for the main mast lower are now complete,, i then put in the main back stays before realising i need to do the upper shrouds on the main mast, what a great way to waste a couple of hours

Lovely work

good morning i have this and the KA MK1 set, im not sure if i will ever build it though there is so much after market stuff available now, to update and upgrade another of Trumpeters failings i have a couple of links and will delete them if you wish me to do so Model products | Trumpeter Titanic upgrades 1:200 - Woodys Model Works RMS Titanic 1:200 - Minibrass yes i know its facebook but a whole wealth of info here Titanic model China 3D prints 1/200 - 1/350 sales and show ONLY | Facebook Trumpeter & Academy R.M.S Titanic model builders group | Facebook

thanks guys, was going to purchase a clock, but decided to leave that to modellers

calling this finished, great kit, just pathetic painting let it down

a whole cargo load of inspiration would not go amiss

good evening everyone Thank you for comments and likes will be glad to get this out of the way, the trailer still needs another sand down re-prime and top coat, at least my itch for wanting to do something different has been scratched do i go back to the SD14 or back to wood and get the Amerigo Vespucci further along

Lol please dont

good evening everyone thank you for comments and likes still working on this project, But just wish i had taken a week off and done something away from the mancave, it would have saved me enough to pay the postage for @chris watton HMS Indefatigable, nothing wrong with the kit at all, i loved putting it together, and it is so well engineered, it is just the painting anyway, lets at least finish something so here are a few outside shots taken tonight, dont look so bad in the distance, Oh and the wife loves it as for yesterday please do not mention mum visits and her blocking the Macerator

@yvesvidal that is looking brilliant

it has served a purpose, just a reminder that i need every few months that im rubbish at modelling and worse at painting

Thank you Ken

good evening everyone ugears truck day 6 fantastic build, let down yet again by me painting, hairy stick with cheapo acrylic tube paints wheels being made up prior to painting Bonnet being built up approx 50 bits, a great interlocking system same for the cab roof Chassis trailer hitch (or what ever its called rebuilt the engine now free with out snagging steering rack in and works test fir of cab sides varnish , spirit based gloss pose for photo, nothing fitted

Great updates thank you @James H

it is spinning with my fingers on the ends of the crank, but thats not the same as spinning from the transmission train lol

good evening everyone thank you for comments and like Truck day 3 cab, front chassis and engine engine was a fun little project, everything has to be left a loose fit even temp clamps are to allow the pistons to be fitted into the head with out falling out, they are then removed front chassis build up, with moving steering rack spare wheel on cab roof fitted and connected to the rubber bans tension unit

Lovely Work Ron, very nice indeed

UGEARS’ journey began back in 2014 as a startup, in Kyiv, Ukraine. In 2015, UGEARS launched a hugely successful Kickstarter campaign, which yielded twenty times more than the original goal. UGEARS’ patented plywood joint design has proved to be popular among our models, as it makes them straightforward and simple to assemble, with no special tools required. UGEARS is a Ukrainian company with its own manufacturing facilities found on the outskirts of Kyiv. All of the UGEARS range has had a considerable amount of time being designed, developed, and brought to life through the hard work of all us who work at UGEARS. Today, the UGEARS range is represented by 25 unique models, which are forever growing. The UGEARS model kits have everything you need to assemble them. Our models are made from high quality, sustainably sourced wood – which are laser cut from plywood boards. All components are already cut, making them simple to detach from the boards. The instructions describe the construction of the model in a very detailed step-by-step process. They also come in full colour and in 10 different languages.

lm going to enjoy building mine. counting down the days

Yeah im sure it is the British Summer heatwave we are suffering, 18 degs here yesterday LOL
