RGL Posted June 15, 2018 Author Share #514 Posted June 15, 2018 I think you’ll find that’s a builders model and not 1/700 (though it could be done but it’s a bloody good camera). cog, popeye the sailor, Old Collingwood and 3 others 6 Quote Greg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could probably give me a $10,000 camera and I couldn't take that good of picture at any size! I suppose that the guy is using a builders model to point out the PE additions, that makes sense, but it looked like possibly all the things he was listing in the contents were brass colored in the pictures.

RGL Posted June 17, 2018 Author Share #526 Posted June 17, 2018 Well done, you’re nearly there. The railings are pretty much exactly right, but with the new paravane winches they throw it out a bit.

RGL Posted June 17, 2018 Author Share #527 Posted June 17, 2018 Now, whilst Popeye and Cog finish up their builds (I'll put them in an album when finished) I'm researching my next build (Number 10) , BUT, the build after that Number 11)... Who want to play with another joint build? There is going to be an aftermarket set out for the kit later this year by the bloke who used to be at Pontos As such it won't start for months, but it will be simple build and Cog is already complaining that I nag him too much so you all have to put pressure on him too. cog, hexnut, Jack12477 and 6 others 9 Quote Greg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cog Posted June 17, 2018 Share #528 Posted June 17, 2018 (edited) thank you all for the likes and supportive comments, naturally but for one ... he's even threatening with thumb screws and the iron lady to force me in another modelpartnership ... he really is freightning like this ... glad Pat & Steven aren't like that, or I would think all Aussies are By the way, I told him I would like to build the zeppelin ... I won't say "Yes", but I won't say "No" either ... I have presently six builds on the desk including this one, 2 destroyers, 2 subs, a battleship, and an airplane - all plastic, so I won't be mixing up parts as long as I let them on the sprue, and no leave them on the desktop (no Lou, not the PC's), lucky me, but that doesn't mean I've got less brass bling tumbling through the air. Yesterday evening (more like this morning) I finished the paravanes, added the decals - with the glossy hull that was easy peasy - erected another ladder for the gunplatform, replaced the asdics on the bridge's wings for the ones I initially made were far to big. Next thing is to paint the paravanes, and after that leaf through the instruction manual and check what I've done with what I really had to do, or planned to do, and compare with the remaining items on the sprues ... pictures later today Edited June 17, 2018 by cog Canute, popeye the sailor, Jack12477 and 5 others 8 Quote Carl "Desperate affairs require desperate measures."

All we have here anymore are laptops. Everyone in the family has their own. Plus a spare one upstairs for the Admiral and I. The kids have a couple of tablets as well but I'm not all that comfortable with them so pretty much stick with the laptop. Getting old and slow at keeping up with tech I suppose, dreading the day when I have to switch completely over to Windows 10 on the remaining computers.

I'm a programmer, and will not use anything over Windows 7, i.e. if I really have to use windows, so I can relate to your sticking to a stable system. I shan't advise you on a newer OS. Keep what you feel comfortable with. Most changes are for the worst, despite the attempts to convince you of the contrary.
