I still got a second one to tussle with for New Years! a couple years ago, I was gonna party hearty.......bought a pint of Southern comfort, along with a couple of snifters {single servers}. they are still in the cupboard.....haven't touched them. don't drink like I used to, but don't mind diving into the froth! great start on this one Jav........it's not a bad thing having so many active projects.........the bright side is that you'll never be at a loss for something to do Old Collingwood, Javlin, mtaylor and 4 others 7 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.

Javlin Posted January 2, 2021 Author #37 Posted January 2, 2021 (edited) Well I cut off the pedals once I built the PE ones not to bad don't play with the PE like I use too.I have also started black basing the interior with some semi-gloss black enamel.I have a couple things I am looking to add to the pit area thing that are readily seen around the radio equipment a pic of what I will try to replicate from another build which HK did not do the tower. Kevin OC:the shroud for the pedals is that a leather/canvas bag on the right side of the IP? Looks like some kind of storage unit?

Javlin Posted January 2, 2021 Author #48 Posted January 2, 2021 It's going to be the circled area.I find when the company goes through the process of changing the texture of the metal it usually represent canvas or leather and not shown in the pic is a line of rivets that attach the material to the leg of the IP.I have a new book coming might have a pic and description kinda reminds me of a map log possibly storage can?Would be about 2' tall 8" at the mouth could be for that umbrella you guys need certain times of the year Kevin lmagna, popeye the sailor, Canute and 1 other 4 Quote
