wglasford Posted Saturday at 04:54 PM Author #31 Posted Saturday at 04:54 PM The Pontos 21002F1 kit is definitely taking the concept of crazy small parts to the next level. These fire plugs probably wouldn't even be worth it except they are red and will stand out nicely in a mostly grey model. king derelict, ccoyle, scrubbyj427 and 1 other 3 1
wglasford Posted yesterday at 05:36 PM Author #32 Posted yesterday at 05:36 PM (edited) There is a rack of mops shown on the plans at Frame 108, the backside of a 5" gun support. The way I figure it, a mop handle is about 1" or 2.5cm in diameter. At scale that translates to about half the diameter of a 30 gauge wire. 30 gauge is small enough so I attempted to glue bits of thread to the end of the wire. It is tedious and tough to do without the thread absorbing glue all the way along the thread. I used CA glue activator and just a slight bit of glue. Once the threads were added I frayed the ends. The rack is made out of styrene strips. Here is my mop rack. Edited yesterday at 05:50 PM by wglasford Canute, Kenchington and king derelict 2 1
wglasford Posted yesterday at 05:48 PM Author #33 Posted yesterday at 05:48 PM (edited) The first three levels above the main deck are mostly complete. All except the guns, railings and everything that attaches the 1st level to the main deck since these first 3 decks are just set in place for now. Here are pictures based on frame number. First up is Port side, frame 68-90. Port side, frame 90-115. Port Side, frame 115-138. I see that the mop rack is conflicting with the three round bits glued to the main deck. Going to have to fix that... Port side, frame 138-151. Starboard side, frame 68-80. Starboard side, frame 80-108. Starboard side, frame 120-138. Starboard side, frame 138-151. Every time I study the plans I discover more things I missed, but these levels are mostly complete. I am reprinting the spare plane float to add supports so it is all one piece. In the mean time I am adding parts to the flag bridge level. Edited yesterday at 05:51 PM by wglasford Canute 1
wglasford Posted yesterday at 06:39 PM Author #34 Posted yesterday at 06:39 PM I had the mops in the wrong location. They should be a frame 108, on the backside looking forward. Canute and king derelict 2
