RGL Posted January 15, 2019 Author Share #246 Posted January 15, 2019 This is a shot of the Von Der Tan looking forward towards other battlecruisers with Seydlitz in the lead. Notice the side railings are all are all folded down and there are a mass of ropes and cleats for the anti torpedo net rigging. I am still pondering how I’m going to replicate this on the deck.

Nope, your hook would get stuck in the netting. Pictures make things even more complicated with the torpedo nettings, Greg ...

RGL Posted January 17, 2019 Author Share #252 Posted January 17, 2019 Forcastle area, there are so many little bits to add it has to be done piecemeal or I get lost.

RGL Posted January 18, 2019 Author Share #255 Posted January 18, 2019 (edited) Infini provides chain but I didn’t like it and replaced it with spares and used narrower stuff for the chain stoppers.

RGL Posted January 19, 2019 Author Share #256 Posted January 19, 2019 Next are the trestles for the ship’s boats which go amidships. Skylights and cable reels. There are 4 sets of bollards which are not supplied by Infini and it is expected to use the kit ones on the plastic deck but there are very recessed into the deck once the wooden one is added. As such I used 1/700 battleship bollards which are the exact size. Next will I’ll be the ship’s boats.

cog Posted January 19, 2019 Share #258 Posted January 19, 2019 (edited) When possible I painted them on the sprue, or if I'm lucky, the attachement holes for the cables to the davits. On BlueTack I find it a pain: Needs painting twice to cover primer, and after that for the colour. Next time I'll try stickin' a sewing pin in the bottom Edited January 19, 2019 by cog mtaylor, Old Collingwood, Piet and 2 others 5 Quote Carl "Desperate affairs require desperate measures."

I use cocktail sticks for these like this, and the beauty of being wooden you can even sand them thinner if need,blue tack on the other end and there you have a little base to hold items clear and upright while you paint or wait to use them. mtaylor, popeye the sailor, Piet and 3 others 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
