Jeff59 Posted September 23, 2022 Author Share #220 Posted September 23, 2022 Well that’s it for now, shall need to start work on forward bridge structure and mast, a lot of work in this area so don’t hold your breath. 🤪 Jacqueline also bought me a second Pontos set so l have the parts I need to go forward. Who said us modellers are sane. Here’s a photo of the propeller before I dressed it up. mikegr, GrandpaPhil, mtaylor and 3 others 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeff59 Posted September 24, 2022 Author Share #224 Posted September 24, 2022 Greg it is quite big, a lot of wow factor for £70 kit. Seriously I would buy the whole Battleship in this scale if they were mad enough to go for it. Building it in sections would be quite manageable. Would be good for the likes of a modelling club to tackle. Just living the dream. 😂 RGL, mtaylor, yvesvidal and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeff59 Posted September 24, 2022 Author Share #226 Posted September 24, 2022 You can see more clearly in these photos the point I’m trying to show. Think all these sort of steps would be generically set at the same angle, shows up this way as you can see it lining up with the handrails which is always more pleasing to the eye. Hope you agree.

Jeff59 Posted September 25, 2022 Author Share #228 Posted September 25, 2022 (edited) Thanks Tim, seems we are always trying to get better. As usual the photos show up the imperfections that makes you strive to doing them better, guess that’s what modelling is about. 👍 Hope your build coming on well. ?

Hi Jeff, yes I’m back into it, just started on the fore superstructure. I’m out on the west coast for a couple of weeks but hope to settle back in soon as I return in October.

Jeff59 Posted October 24, 2022 Author Share #231 Posted October 24, 2022 (edited) Hello again, Yip it’s that time of life, time for an update. I remember this part of build being quite busy to say the least and knew it would take a while. Starting with the lower bridge super structure following Pontos instructions removed unwanted surface details using electric chisel and my craft knife with curved blade, then start fitting the etch details, following the sequence in instructions works easy enough. Just added some extra details, pipes and jibes, cable drums, it all helps to bring the model to life.

Jeff59 Posted October 24, 2022 Author Share #232 Posted October 24, 2022 It takes a while to get round all the detailing and painting them separately before fitting, I did purchase a second Pontos set to get the necessary parts I wanted, I know this is over the top but there’s no way of producing the 1902 version without the necessary parts, it would be great if Pontos could do an additional set to help if the markets out there. 👍 yvesvidal, mtaylor, GrandpaPhil and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff59 Posted October 24, 2022 Author Share #233 Posted October 24, 2022 The bridge wing deck requires plastic details removed top and bottom. My sequence was to stain the wooden decking for this and the bridge roof, then clue to plastic parts using white glue. Followed by masking of the decking, I then fitted the handrails then painted them, carefully removing masking once paint was dry. Incidentally I did alter the position of the upper bridge forward by about 2mm, seems to be this way on actual ship at mueseum. My best guess anyway.

Jeff59 Posted October 24, 2022 Author Share #234 Posted October 24, 2022 Decided to try to fit some details to inside of bridge, hence making wooden flooring and bulkhead. Canute, yvesvidal, Roger Pellett and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeff59 Posted October 26, 2022 Author Share #239 Posted October 26, 2022 Time to try to progress with another update. The metal etch details for the underside of the bridge wing is a little gem but a lot of work, same as after bridge really, the steelwork framework at each end is quite tricky. Shall put some photos up to show how I tried to set them, still not easy though. Tony Hunt, Ryland Craze, Canute and 3 others 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff59 Posted October 26, 2022 Author Share #240 Posted October 26, 2022 Also try to show how I glued the plastic part of bridge wing to the metal etch part which is all very fragile. After both parts painted separately the handrails were turned upside down to sit on flat surface, then lined up the etched bridge wing on top of this and glued together applying light pressure were necessary, take plenty of time here. You may prefer another method, not saying this is suitable for anyone, just my own solution. 👍 Canute, yvesvidal, Ryland Craze and 3 others 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
