Kevin Posted January 19, 2022 Share #1 Posted January 19, 2022 (edited) after the accident yesterday with the SD14, i still wanted to continue with the 90 day group build i was taking part in on another forum, i had bought this incase the SD14 wasnt allowed due to being a 1/3 of a kit anyway i started it tonight and see how i get on, its not the same as the Marcle kit, this actually has some detail in it taken from wikki HMS Prince of Wales was a King George V-class battleship of the Royal Navy that was built at the Cammell Laird shipyard in Birkenhead, England. She had an extensive battle history, first seeing action in August 1940 while still being outfitted in her drydock when she was attacked and damaged by German aircraft. In her brief but storied career, she was involved in several key actions of the Second World War, including the May 1941 Battle of the Denmark Strait where she scored three hits against the German battleship Bismarck, forcing Bismarck to abandon her raiding mission and head to port for repairs. Prince of Wales later escorted one of the Malta convoys in the Mediterranean, and then attempted to intercept Japanese troop convoys off the coast of Malaya as part of Force Z when she was sunk on 10 December 1941, two days after the attack on Pearl Harbor. She was sunk alongside her consort, the battlecruiser HMS Repulse, by Japanese bombers when they became the first capital ships to be sunk solely by air power on the open sea, a harbinger of the diminishing role this class of ships was subsequently to play in naval warfare. The wreck of Prince of Wales lies upside down in 223 feet (68 m) of water, near Kuantan, in the South China Sea.

Kevin Posted January 20, 2022 Author Share #15 Posted January 20, 2022 (edited) good evening everyone thank you for comments and likes, and welcome to new followers (im the guy who never finishes anything) day 2/71 well the bottom half of the hull also went on ok, it is clearly marked where the frames go, as for the centre line, it is straighter than anything i have build before all the laser cut pieces were pushed out and filed, then i decided to use them to build up some of the superstructure, i need to find a decent log now from somewhere and work out what to do with the upper deck, there is a card template that fits over the bulkheads and then the printed deck fits over that, i just need some guidance as to whether to fix the deck sheet to the card template , then stick the two on top or if they need to be done separately (dont suppose it matter) i even had a go at the funnel, its quite hard on the eyes fun factor 10/10 laser cut superstructure funnel instructions Edited January 20, 2022 by Kevin Canute, Boydie, mikegr and 10 others 13 Quote Its all part of Kev's journey, bit like going to the dark side, but with the lights on All the best Kevin SAY NO TO PIRACY.

Kevin Posted January 21, 2022 Author Share #17 Posted January 21, 2022 (edited) Good evening everyone day 3/71 well i certainly would not recommend this kit to myself as a starter kit, its requires completely different skillsets to anything i have attempted before, and some of the mistakes i have made today reflect the fact i didnt have a clue what i am doing it took me ages to work out that each laser cut card is covered on all sides, if it can be seen, lol i had all these duplicate shapes with different images printed on them the paper is not forgiving if a mistake is made on folding the crease opens up and exposes the fibres yep school boy errors, but work continues the card top deck is placed on, which stops any twisting in the hull the printed top deck followed after the glue dries the rest of the day was spent putting the wrap on wallpaper onto the superstructure, which caused me a few issues some of the edges look messy, i hope to sort these out somehow Edited January 21, 2022 by Kevin gjdale, GrandpaPhil, lmagna and 7 others 10 Quote Its all part of Kev's journey, bit like going to the dark side, but with the lights on All the best Kevin SAY NO TO PIRACY.

dancooper Posted January 22, 2022 Share #20 Posted January 22, 2022 Looks very good so far, as for edges, it helps if you think of the paper as a kind of PE, so fold them (with a ruler or something) before attaching to the frames, that way they will be straight and sharp.
