fifthace Posted February 16, 2014 Share #14 Posted February 16, 2014 Hiya Steve...fancy seeing you here lol. I'm collecting this at the moment, as I am still in two minds about the series, but should I commit to it I will collect until complete before beginning the build. I've already had to email Hachette about the figurehead with issue #2, as the wing on the dove was broken. Credit to them they got back to me within a few days and said they would send a replacement, but not yet as issue #2 is currently out of stock The MDF is putting me off I'll admit...it can be a swine to work with at this scale.

steve-h Posted February 16, 2014 Author Share #15 Posted February 16, 2014 Hi Dominic small world I have a spare figure head if you need it m8,I went to WH smiths and got a spare one just in case, I know my luck if Dinosaurs still roamed the planet I'm the one they would poo on .

fifthace Posted February 16, 2014 Share #16 Posted February 16, 2014 Wow thanks Steve, yeh that would be great as I don't yet have much confidence in Hachette, not had much experience with them. Drop me a PM and we'll sort something out, of course I'd be happy to cover postage.

AntonyUK Posted February 16, 2014 Share #18 Posted February 16, 2014 Hi Steve. The MDF... What thickness are they using ? I have cleared the space in the spare bedroom and getting everything ready for the start. Did not know DeAGOSTONI did the Pearl. Can't find the link. Any chance of the link please. Many thanks Antony. Quote Best advice ever given to me."If you don't know ..Just ask.

Q A's Revenge Posted February 16, 2014 Share #19 Posted February 16, 2014 Getting tempted, couple if questions ... I understand it's 120 parts to complete and they send out 4 parts each month. Can you get them quicker if you want or do you have to wait? Is the price fixed at £5.99 an issue? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fifthace Posted February 16, 2014 Share #20 Posted February 16, 2014 (edited) Hiya Anthony, it's not a DeAg partwork, it's from Hachette. http://www.hachettepartworks.com/blackpearl/ QA, as a rule you can't get a partwork faster with the exception of some of DeAg's Modelspace items, where you can select different subscription terms. The price shouldn't change but you will have additional charges as they automitcally send out binders when they are due.

moflea Posted February 16, 2014 Share #21 Posted February 16, 2014 As from my knowledge, this ship is provided by Amati and I think Chris Watton has smth to do with it About Hachette: they sold in my country a 140 serie magazines for 1:200 Bismarck (also an Amati kit). It ran quite OK, with a few chocks on the local distributors but it ended all right. If they would sell the BP in my country, I would definitely buy it. fifthace 1 Quote Alex.

fifthace Posted February 16, 2014 Share #23 Posted February 16, 2014 Ahh yes I can see the confusion. That log is located in the forum "Other ship builds" where members post logs of builds by other companies, from partworks to complete retail kits etc. AntonyUK 1 Quote ------------------------------------ Regards, Dominic Current Build: HMAV Bounty by Caldercraft 1:64 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mtaylor Posted February 16, 2014 Share #27 Posted February 16, 2014 and at last my build board .I forgot to add only the bow section is glued,I have tried everything to try and unglue it but it is refusing to budge .I am awaiting the rest of the hull sections ,and keel strengthening parts before I glue any thing else. regards steve-h Steve, Depending on the type of glue, you have some options... For PVA - use isopropyl alcohol.. at least 75% or higher. For CA - use acetone. For Epoxy - a lot of cutting with a knife and invectives. Do test first on a piece of MDF to ensure that it doesn't destroy the MDF. Hope this helps.

steve-h Posted February 17, 2014 Author Share #28 Posted February 17, 2014 Hi Mark I ordered some Isopropyl and it arrived last week, I have just not had the time to try it out as of yet. I am just a little concerned with the first Bulkhead it is not quite a true 45 only out a little bit out it must have moved as the glue dried.
