Lt. Biggles Posted May 13, 2021 Author Share #152 Posted May 13, 2021 Thanks, Just doing a bit here and there. With the camo It will change how I put it together so will build the lot and paint it as one rather than sections. A good chunk of the initial parts done just a few more levels and the PE hof00, Canute, S-boat 55 and 5 others 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lt. Biggles Posted July 25, 2022 Author Share #153 Posted July 25, 2022 Hello, hope you are all well! Its taken me a lot longer than i thought but I've been slowly working on her. Sorry I've not continued with the build log but there were a few disasters in the build and I had to just leave it and come back to it when i was ready. First one was when the shelf it was being kept on fell over during the night and it fell over 1.5m to the ground and across the room, many hours in the carpet finding as many parts as I could and was quite disheartening... it sat in a sad state for awhile. Then I slowly repaired it and continued with the build and was going pretty well, painted the superstructures and was doing the weathering and instead of using white spirits to remove excess and blend for some unknown reason I used Isopropyl alcohol!! and not just a little bit because when i first started to notice the paint being stripped right off I for some unknown reason thought the washes were causing the damage and decided in a hurry to clean the wash off everything as fast as I could to reduce further damage of course using the Isopropyl so everything (apart from the hull which was already complete) was totally stripped back to the primer or worse... so it kinda feels like I've built the ship twice. had a few other mishaps but none as bad as the 2 major ones. So it wasn't touched for most of the last year until I was back in the mindset to continue. After all it is a hobby so meant to be a fun and enjoyable in the whole right. So here She is all complete. I did enjoy the build a lot and thanks again to you all for the help and advise, in a way you guys helped me get back on the horse and keep going.
