Thanks for your comments Roger, and particularly for the link to the 3D Hood video. Lack of good reference was the primary reason I chose not to do a little bit of rigging. With this video, I think I will go back and add a little rigging along with a flag.

RogerF Posted August 15, 2021 Share #214 Posted August 15, 2021 I'm glad you appreciated the link to the 3-D video - that's just one of the things about this forum that I love. Everybody is only too willing to share experience, tips and tricks and links to relevant information to be found on the web. In the case of 1/700 scale adding rigging will always be a compromise between accuracy and what is physically possible. I find I am spending endless hours researching colour schemes, ship anatomy and rigging so that my understanding of the subject is as complete as possible before I start the build. I'll be interested to see the results of any rigging you decide to add to what is already a superb model. While bending PE parts for the U-Boat I completed, I used two bending tools, a small, square bending tool and the exquisite DSPIAE bender which wile very expensive is a wonderful tool to use for really accurate bending of the tiniest PE parts - but then I justified the financial outlay by admitting I have a 'tool fetish'!

Extensive photo etch and metal barrels. This is the deluxe kit and will sit on the shelf until ready to build another Hood. Gonna watch a couple other guys build it first. 😄 Awww, come on Craig! You can't leave us in the lurch like that! I was hoping to follow your lead on the Flyhawk Hood avoiding any problems you might encounter as your build progressed. Humppff. Looks like I'll have to go it alone once my Hood arrives - unless anybody else cares to lead the way .....

The above was your answer to the question: How did you twist the steps of the PE ladders? I decided to try one of those ladders (I chose part Y78) to see if I'm up to the task! Bending the sides up at a right angle was no sweat but, the steps! I have a couple of very fine-nosed tweezers in my collection but MY question is: How did you hold the staircase while bending the steps? The scale is microscopic and it must have taken a long time and tremendous patience to bend up all the steps of all the ladders.

They are far too small to attempt without destroying the ladder IMO. Oh dear! My Flyhawk Hood having arrived, I have been familiarising myself with the parts and instructions. Close-up examination of the stairs/ladders would seem to indicate that the steps are indeed intended to be twisted.... I had a closer look with a microscope(!) and it certainly looks that way. In fact the stairs might well look a bit strange if only the hand rails are bent and the steps left as they are. The steps are cut to shape differently to the I Love Kit ones and the only drawing of a finished ladder in the PE instructions - Part A45 on page 3 of the PE instructions - seems to also suggest bending the steps. I tell you what, we'll wait until somebody else gets as far into their Hood build that ladders are being fitted and see what they do.... 😉 Canute, lmagna, Old Collingwood and 1 other 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
