Canute Posted July 15, 2018 Share #371 Posted July 15, 2018 Working on stuff that tiny, I'd recommend about 30 minutes and switch off to bigger stuff.

CDW Posted July 15, 2018 Share #373 Posted July 15, 2018 I've got a number of Japanese warships I need to start and finish. But some of those gun details are intimidating, like your triples. I should start and build my 1:250 Akagi. It's a little larger which is a benefit to my old tired eyes. A 1:250 Yamato with lots of details waiting in the wings, too.

SHIPSCAT Posted April 21, 2019 Share #382 Posted April 21, 2019 Hello Carl Wow what a build, things have changed since I did plastic kits. Sorry I am late in following your build as you know I have just started building. It has been a long time posting, hope you are going to start your fantastic model again soooooooooooooooon. Jo.

cog Posted April 21, 2019 Author Share #383 Posted April 21, 2019 Thanks for your interest Jo. Indeed, there are so many "addons" in brass, metal, resin, etc which gives this type of model building a whole new dimension, besides the developments in painting, and weathering ... it isn't just plastic anymore, a whole new ball game It has been a long time ... it will revive, the log, I just need a pair of macro eyes screwed in my head with all the tiny stuff which is still to be done, and replacement parts for my lower back, but it will happen Old Collingwood, mtaylor, lmagna and 4 others 7 Quote Carl "Desperate affairs require desperate measures."

cog Posted April 22, 2019 Author Share #384 Posted April 22, 2019 Thanks Jo. Sorry to hear about your father, my belated condolences. You should build the Blower. Lovely car, although, I am biased, I love British racing cars, and two seaters. You should have a look at the tutorials from this bloke you might find some interesting information for plastic car builds Canute, popeye the sailor, lmagna and 1 other 4 Quote Carl "Desperate affairs require desperate measures."
