lmagna Posted May 20, 2018 Share #4 Posted May 20, 2018 (edited) OC You are supposed to be an observer not a napper! Looks like there is plenty of seating room available so I will grab something up close so I get a good view and don't miss anything. I don't want to loose my place by leaving to get some pop corn and grog so hopefully some of the late comers will be considerate and bring enough for all of us other more lazy people.

Ship's are rather new to me, but i like them allot, still, i'm not familiar to the way of steps taken for painting etc. so i did some research on Youtube regarding WIP's of people who worked there way true various of ship build's. Last evening and this morning i looked at some video's so now it's clear to me, and i know (i hope) what to do. First i need to glue one wing onto my F-104 fuselage and let it dry, then it's Tirpitz time.

cog Posted May 21, 2018 Share #16 Posted May 21, 2018 I've looked plenty, video as well as build logs ... to me there is but one way: Do it. My only concern was whether it would stick (the PE) I find the larger area's to be the hardest. Those tiny parts ... you need to stick em on right since you do not have a lot of time to correct it, but it's fun once you get the hang of it lmagna, mtaylor, popeye the sailor and 1 other 4 Quote Carl "Desperate affairs require desperate measures."

PE isn't the problem, i've done enough on that during my build's on airplanes, but again, it's another subject in which i have knowledge. On ship's i have almost none, so i hope you guy's can give me allot's of feedback during my build process. 1 hour ago, Old Collingwood said: Yeah!
