Kevin

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

good evening everyone day 97 pointy end 99% complete well that wasnt to bad in the end, after all its just card and easy enough to make bits that fit, even the Hawse holes lined up

at least we are getting choice of new retooled kits now thats a great idea

Good evening everyone Day 96 hull plating forward Port side the kit is wrong and it messed me up quite a bit some of the hull plates are marked up incorrectly and the hull plates that overlap the bilge plates are also incorrectly identified, and the wrong size, so i had to remove some and make others to fit, I think it is right now The dotted line on the F plates should be on E, and as a result i forgot to over lap the bilge plates, so ripped them out and did them again all the G plates have to be made taller as they then forgot about the overlap tonight's experiment hiding the seam lines, paper tape and then varnished the milky look is wet varnish

thank you OC

here is the BBC report thank you @AJohnson USS Samuel B Roberts: World's deepest shipwreck discovered - BBC News

SD14 day 95 port side hull plating persevering with the build, although in all honesty it is not turning out as expected, however it is still enjoyable
