kpnuts Posted November 23, 2014 Author Share #94 Posted November 23, 2014 Hi ya all a quick question where would the fire hoses be stored on warspite. I mean they wouldn't dip buckets in the sea to put out fires would they. The reason I ask is I've had an idea for another hit on warspite but I want the sailors trying to put it out, oh and another quick question would they try and launch the walrus whilst under attack.

kpnuts Posted November 29, 2014 Author Share #98 Posted November 29, 2014 Well she's nearly done now just some rails and the rigging (no idea where that goes) I can see some of it in the box atr but obviously that does not show where its anchored or anything. got a bit of work to do on the base and the background, but definitly on the finishing stretch.

Grimber Posted December 12, 2014 Share #104 Posted December 12, 2014 (edited) did you use string or wire for the rigging? I know it would have been cables, what you could try instead is get some very flexable wire ( like the wire you get out of the wire for a pair of headphones/earbuds), the first you run the rigging that supports the towers (forward first then aft) the wire would be helpful as it can take more tension and it can be wrapped by hand to hold itself until you get it glued and trimmed. if the current rigging is glued, it can be unglued. many methods of undoing dried glue. so I don't think its a loss, just needs fixing.

Grimber Posted December 13, 2014 Share #106 Posted December 13, 2014 happened to me with the revel plastic constitution. got the rigging on and the tension would slack after a while. was a combination of the line stretching ( i think it was mostly nylon which stretches allot), the plastic masts bending to the tension and glue not holding the lines as well as they should. I replaced the lines with a combination of cotton line and thin wires ( little enamel paint to recolor after the rigging is done) and fixed the sages. mtaylor 1 Quote Current Build Log(s): -Swift Virginia Pilot Boat 1805- Artesania Latina 1985 no sails kit.

mtaylor Posted December 13, 2014 Share #107 Posted December 13, 2014 Before stripping off the rigging, try brushing it with a bit of white glue mixed 50/50 with water. It should add the sag back and might even take out some of the slack. As for the paint messed up.. I don't see it.

I didn't even see the paint comment, had to go back and re read. Yes, I wouldn't toss a model due to paint. I've many times stripped models completely down to just parts and redone them. paint can come off with various removers but many times you can also fix a paint job vs starting it over. Nice thing on military vehicles is you can even take a bad spot in a paint job and with some work turn it into some battle damage.

kpnuts Posted December 13, 2014 Author Share #109 Posted December 13, 2014 Thanks for the encouraging comments guys will try the glue tip and if that doesn't work will try the wire one, as for the paint maybe another near miss with a water spurt will hide that.

src Posted December 15, 2014 Share #119 Posted December 15, 2014 Kp, I am with the others, a very unique build. Nice save in the paint although I didn't see anything wrong with it myself. For your main guns, is it too late to add LEDs or concussion waves in the water? There are some great air shots of the Missouri firing a full broad side for reference. Just a thought. I think the library would be very happy to have this. Sam mtaylor and cog 2 Quote Current Build Constructo Enterprise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
