looks like you've done a lot since you last posted progress.........looks really good.   glad to see your back at the table  

[cog]

Thanks Dennis, took some time for I had to make some space on the table

[popeye the sailor]

kitchen table?.......gee,  if I even spread a rigging diagram on the kitchen table,  the admiral squawks.  I just look at her........."my two tables are precious, you know!"      

[cog]

Well that's the advantage of being the cook too ... although ... that does have it's downsides as well ...

[Piet]

Great seeing you back at it again Carl. Such a nice build and looking super good.

 

Cheers,

Welcome back Piet, and thanks for the thumbs up. Seats are filling up quickly! Jungle drum is working fast

I'm still at the tripple AA's, can do but a few a day, sometimes none, cause they give me a bl**din' headache, which I cannot use presently - neither at work, nor at home - so you will have to do with the other builds I'm at which are not swamped by those iniminitiny parts

[Canute]

Working on stuff that tiny, I'd recommend about 30 minutes and switch off to bigger stuff. Can't work too well when you're cross-eyed.

Than I should stop all together ... just pulling your leg. I know about the timeframe, but even that is to long presently, so I'll just take it very slow, like  a threehunderd year old turtle at strolling snail pace

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.

[mtaylor]

I find magnifiers are my friend for detail work, but as the others.. I limit my time.

[Canute]

I'll second that.

[Old Collingwood]

I'll third that

[cog]

Anyone for forth? I've still about 20 pcs tripple AA to go   I wouldn't hold your breath to see if I'll finish in time for you not to choke

You know you are supposed to do comparison shots to show how small your current build is? The big boys are that much easier to build. 

[cog]

Yeah right, I find it to be the other way around. Haven't seen a PE/brass tripple AA gun on the smaller ones yet!

[BANYAN]

Hang in there Carl; you know the saying "when the going gets...."   I am sure you will get through them with the appropriate doses of 'rum' and 'lash'

 

cheers

 

Pat

[cog]

Thank you Pat, I think I'd best refrain from the rum until the fat lady sang her last chord on the tripplets.  "The ... gets going" already

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]

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

[cog]

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
