Kevin got a reaction from popeye the sailor in HMS Zulu 1942 & HMS Eskimo 1944 by RGL - FINISHED - Trumpeter - 1/350 - PLASTIC
those resin bits look stunning, but like you said you are left with nothing to do other than paint and add, thats not so much a hobby, i suppose the fun bit would be designing your own, but that opens another can of worms doesnt it,
love the build

I’ve seen people put them on their ships painted with hairy sticks, unfortunately they are so detailed they only work with an airbrush. So the detail get lost. Different type of art really. I really enjoy PE still.

good evening everyone
well most of the port side accommodation ladders are in, another couple of fittings to sort out and then paint then in relevant black or white
im struggling with the rung ladders, making them out off paper staples, getting them to look tidy and inline and as for the white painting to do the touch ups
i may take the white one back out redrill and paint them before placing on the hull

bulk load the phot as you have been doing, they will auto load when you post, but in the drop box you can select each photo and insert or delete one at a time to place directly into the post

Kevin reacted to Sjors in HMS Victory by Sjors - Caldercraft - 1:72
Update time,
I have glue the frames.
Also the support on the bow and sten.
Then the lower gun deck and the support for the false canons
Also removed a part of the upper support. between frame 9 and 10.
My first thought was ....strange.
It cost a lot of problems to get that support into the slots and the I have to remove a part.
But, Horatio Nelson needs a way to get on board on a easy way.
So it's not the entrance.
Enough talking, time for pictures!

That looks great to my eye. Keep going. I also imagine if you did a couple more it will get better with each attempt. You have to get your carving sea legs back.

good evening everyone
felt like pants today, so not much achieved. might be due to 2nd covid jab i had yesterday,
but i did get some of the after port side accommodation ladder made up
and changed the build title pending a name change
at present my fancied re-name is TS Nivek Sira (im sure most of you will work that one out)
