semorebutts Posted February 15, 2018 Author Share #519 Posted February 15, 2018 (edited) Those guns are the trumpeter kit guns. I had thought I threw them out by mistake but dug them out of a pile of what I thought was spare parts minus the barrels. So I took 2 20mm barrels that I didn't use and used them, Problem solved. Now on to that darn range finder mast problem. Acually I will procrastinate that as long as I possibly can... I have railings to glue next.

Landrotten Highlander Posted February 16, 2018 Share #528 Posted February 16, 2018 Just found your log as I am considering building a Bismark or Tirpitz in 1:350. Done a b****y good job of it, and I particularly learned about adding PE from your build. Re the Tamiya Flat Silver problem, I found it never looks right, as the flakes in the paint are waaaaayyyyy too big. Humbrol/heller paint is a much better option - and should be easy enough to find. Having said that, I also paint scale figures, and I have found Jo Sonja silver (acrylic) to have no equal regarding flake size, it is just one smooth surface wathever the scale - and even use it for highlighting bare metal. Unfortunately this paint is not so easy to find . If you are up to it (and think the extra effort is worth it) then you could very easily paint over the Tamiya silver using a brush. Apart from the Jo Sonja, I dilute my paint to a milky consistency (or even a bit more watery), and prefer to apply several thin 'washes' works better than trying to cover with a single layer of paint. I will keep following you log from now on. Slainte, Landrotten Highlander Canute, harvey1847, cog and 4 others 7 Quote Heghlu'meH QaQ jajvam Slainte gu mhath L.H.

semorebutts Posted February 17, 2018 Author Share #529 Posted February 17, 2018 (edited) Thank you Slainte! I'm going to keep what you said in mind next time I need aluminum paint. I'm just going to leave it how it is at this point. I put the stairs and the rest of the railings on. So basically its almost done. I can almost install it onto the Bismarck. all thats left is the ships bell. Then It can atleast be put onto the ship. I just wish the bell was brass instead of aluminium. I'm debating whether or not to paint it like I painted the props under the ship. so bell, install onto ship then I will deal with the range finder.

I bought some Gator Grip to work on a Veteran 40mm quad as a learning project. The thin Gator isn't working too well. Probably because I'm an FSU fan. I am sure it is pilot error and not the product.

semorebutts Posted February 19, 2018 Author Share #538 Posted February 19, 2018 basically if the piece has a large flat area to apply glue I will use medium. if the pieces to be joined are odd shaped or very little surface area I will use thin. join the pieces together then just touch a tiny drop of thin glue to it and it just flows into the crevice due to the capillary action. then if you notice to much glue just touch a paper towel to the joint, it will suck back any extra glue.

I almost exclusively use Gator Grip acrylic glue for photo etch rather than CA. Although I do choose Gorilla Glue CA in the bottle with the blue top (a medium viscosity) in certain situations where a quick set is required. The reason I prefer Gator Grip is because it can be cleaned up so easily without marring the PE or plastic. I also like the fact it takes longer to set as it gives me plenty of time to position parts exactly where I want them to be. popeye the sailor, semorebutts, lmagna and 6 others 9 Quote Completed Projects: USS Fletcher 1:144 Scharnhorst 1:350 USS Independence LCS-2 1:350 1:32 J7W1 Shinden Interceptor/Fighter Fairey Swordfish Mk.
