V108 Torpedo Boat by amateur - FINISHED - Digital Navy - 1:200 - CARD

[amateur]

And today, I finally finished the V108 (apart from the flag, that should be there, but was not included in the download).

The antennae were a bit of a struggle, but they meet my standards. 
 

Hindsight: I did not take the model completely serious in the beginning, so the hull is a bit sloppy, with painted patches. Apart from that: I’m content with how it turned out.

Very handsomely done -- love the extra rigging details!

 Very nicely done!

Rigging was a bit difficult. The thread  is flytying thread (mostly 8/0), wich is almost thinner than my eues can see :). Also, it’s glued using CA, and CA and I are no friends  Both antennae were done twice. Took me a whole afternoon. But it was worth the additional work: adding the antennae ‘explain’ the relatively long masts.

 

again thanks to Chris for his tutorial on this ship/kit. Very helpful indeed.

A wonderful finish Jan! 

 

It's funny, because I started my V-108 a long time ago and just a couple weeks ago, took a look at the unfinished model on the shelf (which is setting along side numerous other unfinished builds) and thought I should finish mine too. So, your recent posts are very timely! 

 

Only problem with mine (or maybe I should say, one of the problems with mine) is that I need to reprint my parts sheets and I'd switched to cheaper inks, so the color is way off. I think I'm going to have to buy the expensive OEM inks, just to get the part colors to match up better, as I don't want to start over from scratch.

 

Anyway, congratulations on another completed model!
