BarrettM82 Posted January 25 Author Share #32 Posted January 25 Almost there with overall build, finishing with AA guns which is like painting an ant farm! Scale just too small for my 4K printer to handle resin print versions , so sticking with old school method. mikegr, robert952, mtaylor and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChiefClanker Posted January 25 Share #33 Posted January 25 In a number of posts the term PE is used. What is PE? Thank you.

BarrettM82 Posted February 1 Author Share #38 Posted February 1 Interesting @mikegr where did you get the stl's? Did you add any supports to the barrels or leave without ?. I struggled with the supports Old Collingwood, Canute and mtaylor 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BarrettM82 Posted February 1 Author Share #39 Posted February 1 (edited) Finally getting to final stages. Added model to sea diorama, using tin foil and gel medium as base, cotton wool for wave crests. Also used Vallejo still water which gave nice effect. Finished with Tamiya X22. Close up of bow end with scratch build from aluminum sheet and flag pole from medical needle, PE railings added definitely improve the detail and look. AA guns on bow now on scratch build styrene platform... much better than the crucifix moulds on originals Detail for PE on funnel grilles and 3d printed life raft, lots of scratch building over very poor detailed original. Added 3d print gas cylinders along with PE stairs , radar dish and drilled portholes with hatch doors PE crane, catapult and 3d printed planes, again to improve chunky poor detail originals Milliput scratch building for bofors base at the stern More angles including detail of milliput blast bags for main guns and bored out barrels Made my own custom decals to add more windows on lower levels as original only came with one decal for windows Edited February 2 by BarrettM82 mtaylor, robert952, Canute and 4 others 5 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old Collingwood Posted February 2 Share #41 Posted February 2 Excellently done, not the easiest of challenges as I know the kit itself has its own set of challenges - you have made a marvellous job of her.
