RGL Posted June 13, 2020 Author Share #121 Posted June 13, 2020 Now back to the bridge. I only figured out what was changed by 1941 after I finished the bridge. there is a cabin behind the directional finder. I cannot pull the entire thing to pieces, so I've just added a cabin. lmagna, Canute, md1400cs and 10 others 13 Quote Greg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RGL Posted June 14, 2020 Author Share #124 Posted June 14, 2020 The stick down wooden deck. Isn’t stick down. First one I’ve come across. The plastic backing will come off, but it is not adhesive and it’s wafer thin. A lot of slicing and inserting glue needed.

BANYAN Posted June 14, 2020 Share #126 Posted June 14, 2020 Grey day seems to have turned into sunshine Greg, she is looking very good, but I look forward to seeing your 'rustification' process As Carl says, the deck is a little bright for wood, but I am sure you have a pl,an to tone it down a tad. cheers Pat lmagna, mtaylor and popeye the sailor 3 Quote If at first you do not suceed, try, and then try again!Current build: HMCSS Victoria (Scratch) Next build: HMAS Vampire (3D printed resin, scratch 1:350) Built: Battle Station (Scratch) and HM Bark Endeavour 1768 (kit 1:64) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RGL Posted June 15, 2020 Author Share #127 Posted June 15, 2020 It’s not that it’s bright as rubbish. It has to be glued down which just does not work well. mtaylor, popeye the sailor and lmagna 3 Quote Greg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
