It’s an exercise in weathering in very small scale, so start with the crappiest kit (the Micrmir one has a ton of flash and misaligned parts and even a few missing bits to the Collins class which has a bow configuration that is wrong. 

That makes sense to me.

OK, practice on something you're not heavily invested in, like a CV with all the aftermarket. 👍

So you mean something like this ...

I have been looking for that kit, I already bought the hospital ship - Hikawa Maru - but couldn't find this one anymore on fleabay. Lucky man. I bought the 1:700 fo make a diorama at that scale with those two subs I showed in my previous post.

Thanks Kevin, but far to expensive. I looked at aussie ebay - since RGL got his at just AU$ 100 -  and found a kit in France(!) for a mere 148.00 Euro, and 18.90 postage. Nevertheless, thanks for mentioning it.

i love guys who work in 1/350 much more variety out there in that scale, but to small for me, but my preferred scales are to large for diorama's as a rule

and yes it is expensive, that link i sent

Ok back the subs, a primer coat on each. The Growler kit is incredibly poor, so many alignment issues life is too short. This will be the first of the ‘mule’ kits as I cannot be bothered spending hours and hours on filling the horrendous gaps. It’s a cool kit concept but rubbish.

1/72nd will be different for you. Should be interesting to see what you do with the extra size.

You know what he is like, Pat. Especially if builds do not go fast enough laugh2.gif.b208ed4bdafd78221f8eb5abad01638c.gif

Hope all went well mate, both the trip (all models arrived and returned safely), and the show?

 

cheers
