On 5/15/2024 at 9:02 AM, Jeff59 said: Fantastic job on this, it’s certainly a labour intensive model, great to see others solutions to this model. 🤛👍 Thank you Jeff. With my approach to the model, painting it actually takes a lot of time. I'll save myself this time if I filter out lots of tips and solutions in your construction report. 😉 I don't have much time to build models at the moment, but progress is still going slowly. I have finished aging the hull for now and turned a new ship into an old veteran. I particularly aged the anchor hawse and the area below the anchor berths, as a lot of dirt is likely to accumulate here. And port side. The chipping is also strongest here, as the anchors are likely to leave clear marks. Amidships I aged more subtly. And a little more at the rear. The painting of the fuselage only continues when the missing parts are attached to the outside, i.e. pretty much at the end. The wooden deck was also glazed and applied. Now I can start equipping the deck, which I’m looking forward to.

ccoyle Posted May 23 Share #33 Posted May 23 Hallo, Joelle. Happily, I read German, but most of our members don't. Please post in English. I followed your Millennium Falcon build, so I know you can do it! 😉 Thanks! Old Collingwood, mtaylor, Canute and 1 other 3 1 Quote Chris Coyle Greer, South Carolina When you have to shoot, shoot.

madtatt Posted May 23 Author Share #34 Posted May 23 (edited) Sorry Chris and already done. It probably happened to me because I post in German and English forums. And thanks for the compliment, Mike. Edited May 23 by madtatt mtaylor, Canute and Old Collingwood 3 Quote Greets Jölle. modellmarine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

madtatt Posted June 26 Author Share #36 Posted June 26 Ahoy dear model building friends. There isn’t much new to report, but I wanted to get in touch again. Some people know that my wife is very sick and is currently receiving chemotherapy. I very rarely have a free head to do crafts. I would probably ruin more than move forward. But what I have done is prepare the final stand. This is easier to adjust if there is nothing on deck yet. I no longer liked the Pontos holder because it holds the ship very high. I prefer it this flat. In addition, the dry dock was expanded to include a slightly higher sheet pile wall. The cannons that look out of the casemates above cannot get their barrels later because they are one with the cannon body. And that’s why they have to be protected separately from my scatterbrainedness.

madtatt Posted July 5 Author Share #38 Posted July 5 Thank you for the comforting and encouraging words. This is truly a difficult time for me and my wife. But we look to the future with confidence because the therapy is having an effect and the prognosis is now very good. It is true that model building can certainly be an outlet to relieve mental pressure and I could imagine using it again soon. But that only works because the worst is probably already behind us. I would like to thank my wife again for her kind wishes for her recovery. She says she could use any encouragement.
