Hsae Posted July 15, 2021 Author Share #92 Posted July 15, 2021 (edited) I got Gator’s Grip for glueing phot etch today. I bought them first in 2014 (rear bottles) and surprisingly they didn’t work anymore. Lol The advantage is that you have time to align the parts or correct the position vs. CA glue. Plus you can easily clean up with water if necessary.

Landlubber Mike Posted July 23, 2021 Share #99 Posted July 23, 2021 I am, I'm just probably a ways from building them as I want to get my skills up to do them justice. I have the Revell 1/144 kit with Pontos set and the 1/72 kit with the David Parkins upgrade. I was just looking at some build logs of the corvettes earlier this week which is putting a fire under me to want to get some other kits done so I can turn to them!

Canute Posted July 24, 2021 Share #104 Posted July 24, 2021 USS Tenacity looks like a Measure 12 Modified scheme. Here's the page on the Ship Camouflage website: https://shipcamouflage.com/measure_12_modified.htm It was an early war scheme, used on a number of USN ships.

Hsae Posted July 27, 2021 Author Share #105 Posted July 27, 2021 At the weekend I was fuzzing around with some paint. I was trying the “salt” method, but I didn’t really like it how it came out. I also painted the hull with “Schnellboot Weiß” because I didn’t get the original white (RN10), but I hope it is still Ok, compared to the true white. For my taste it was just too white. I had also some fun with the funnel. It was too thin! But I was able to fix it with some styrene strips.

Hsae Posted August 4, 2021 Author Share #120 Posted August 4, 2021 (edited) Today I was working on the bandstand for the 2pdr. Gun I glued the two bottom pieces together and soldered the bandstand side wall to it. Which was easier than I thought it would be. After that, I glued the rivet strips to the side wall. The handrail was a challenge but with patient it was finally done. The crew shelter was bend and glued together. It was actually with one bottom sheet, but I blended it one time in the wrong direction and it separated. Luckily it was not a big deal. You can see the big difference between the kid bandstand (although modified already) and the GLS bandstand. The quality of the GLS parts are outstanding.
