I'm generally fairly mild........frustration goes with getting the part in the right place.......then I'm all smiles if I recall, I've thrown in the towel on one model, through my entire model building life. it was a Russian model - ICM....a Bomber. to laughable to even consider assembling. I have considered buying another one.......just can't live with the defeat........dunno, maybe some day so far, I haven't lost any parts.......ruined a few bits of PE, but I have the hood PE to fall back onto we're in for our first heat wave.......I've made it through the first day.......hope I don't turn into a bowl of mush by the end of the work week!

popeye the sailor Posted July 6, 2018 Share #700 Posted July 6, 2018 yesterday was a bust for me........between the heat and the mowing, I just couldn't get it together. I did manage to assemble more of the main mast though, and began the paint work on the life rafts. I started to fiddle around with it this morning........before I knew it, it's well into the afternoon. first, there was the platform that has a life raft on it. it was assembled with the legs, and given a PE girder look on the sides. the spot light was finished and painted, later to be cemented in place on the platform. the mast has the yards on it now.......it too was painted. The HMAS Vendetta had a different pendant number during this time in her career.....I69. the decaling was next. she was with the 7th Flotilla, and she wore two white stripes on her aft funnel. I had some decals that I had cut in half, lengthwise, to do them in....some stripes that were to go on that P 47 I had on the desk......but I found that they were micro cracked. guess it's good i found out now.......when I build the Heinkel HE 111 bomber that accompanied the Thunderbolt, I will know to spray the decal sheet with decal bonder. I was going to go through my other decals, but I decided to simply paint them on. I did them freehand........not too bad, but there's room for improvement. to get more parts on the model, the aft guns were cemented in place. in between the bits and pieces, other parts were being painted and prepped. the life raft platform was painted and cemented in place. the life rafts were painted, and they also were cemented in place........I found a place for all but one, but I'm sure I can fit it in somewhere. the spotlight platform was also cemented in place.......so ws a ladder that leads to the machine gun platform. I've done no touch ups yet........ I neglected to take a picture of the port side........there's a life raft in the same places on that side too. I'll likely concentrate on the bow for the next session thanks for look'in in hexnut, src, Piet and 9 others 12 Quote I yam wot I yam! finished builds: Billings Nordkap 476 / Billings Cux 87 / Billings Mary Ann / Billings AmericA - reissue Billings Regina - bashed into the Susan A / Andrea Gail 1:20 - semi scratch w/ Billing instructions M&M Fun Ship - semi scratch build / Gundalow - scratch build / Jeanne D'Arc - Heller Phylly C & Denny-Zen - the Lobsie twins - bashed & semi scratch dual build Billing T78 Norden in dry dock: Billing's Gothenborg 1:100 / Billing's Boulogne Etaples 1:20 Billing's Half Moon 1:40 - some scratch required Revell U.S.S.
