king derelict Posted August 12 Author #31 Posted August 12 Ships boats have been installed and the paint touched up on the details. Then weathering. I think it’s a bit too much but I was after a North Atlantic convoy escort look and went a bit further than usual. Looking at some photos it may actually be typical. I doubt anyone was hanging over the side in a bosuns chair with a paintbrush in mid Atlantic. Im calling this one finished and will now move onto the last of the three Tribals. Thanks for looking in, the likes and kind comments. alan ccoyle, Knocklouder, GrandpaPhil and 5 others 6 2

Landlubber Mike Posted August 13 #34 Posted August 13 23 hours ago, king derelict said: Mike, I’m a bit nervous about using ca glue for the tripod legs of the foremast. Soldering them gives a strong enough joint to allow a bit of tweaking if the spread needs adjustments before fitting. I think ca works well for the yardarms, @mikegr shows an effective looking way of using ca glue on masts. alan What I like to do is run a thin needle with CA to add a good amount to hidden areas - interiors, etc. Seems to work very well. I’ve also done the same with two part epoxy. I’m surprised you can solder such thin pieces of brass without destroying them - very impressive! At some point I’ll have to learn to solder so that I can build up the GLS corvette class aftermarket.

Thank you very much Andrew, the PE set is not perfect but it does elevate the build, the basic Trumpeter kit would be a bit bland. alan AJohnson, Old Collingwood, Jack12477 and 1 other 4

I was taught to solder as an apprentice at de Havilland over fifty years ago, some of it stuck but I was untidy them too alan Old Collingwood, AJohnson, Jack12477 and 1 other 4

I thought if she had seen enough bad weather to take the paint off she needed a greater amount of rust streaking. alan Jack12477, Canute, Old Collingwood and 1 other 4
