RGL Posted January 14, 2023 Author #154 Posted January 14, 2023 (edited) Todays effort; the railings. The Hasegawa set of quite good, thick (easy to use) good instructions and little flaps on the bottom you bend at 90 degrees so it’s easy to stick down. I’ll now need to repaint it all as no matter how hard you try you can never cover the things on paint or they chip off. ships never look right without railings and as this was originally a passenger ship it’s much better Edited January 14, 2023 by RGL Captain Slog, yvesvidal, BANYAN and 12 others 7 8 Quote Greg

LED Posted February 6, 2023 #177 Posted February 6, 2023 Amazing... And, to be honest, I would have never thought this topic would work - but it does. I kept skipping past it, but that was a mistake. Love the activity and the cargo. Plus, this gives a solid opportunity for weathering. Just wow... I'm going to have to grind some of your other builds. Looking at the 'oil canning' shows me I didn't get the technique right. It looks downright 3D - like you are carving out part of the paint coats. Nicely done...
