Interessant som alt det med lokalt dialekter er, kan vi prøve at kom lidt tilbage på emnet.
Der er skal I huske mange på dette forum som fatter ikke en brik af det i skriver.<
Og jo jeg ved hvad Jings betyder, den er en fordrejning af Jingo som started midt 1800 årstallet.
Desuden har jeg slet ikke tænkte mig at koge mit hoved!Comment

Just been having a read of the Hood Associations evaluation of this kit... http://www.hmshood.com/hoodtoday/mod...umpeter200.htm
Looks like there might be a bit of hacking and scratching. I'm not sure I would consider all the corrections, but I might address a few of the more obvious eye sores.Comment

Don't get too sucked into the accuracy debate Ian. No model is 100% accurate, it is a model for the pleasure of building it not a reference piece. Most models are an amalgamation of how the ship looked through various refits so it depends on the stage of development it was at the time you want to depict it.Comment

I know what you mean Graham I must admit that I just went on to find the right shade of grey. When I saw just how much you could do to the model I was a bit gobsmacked. And to read that Trumpeter basicaly told The Hood association to bugger off was also rather amusing. As I wrote before I might just take some of the real blinders and let the super detailing be. I will probably address the missing post holes, the missing rear anchor opening in the stern. The put the one on the deck, forgot the one in the hull !?
I have tried the super detailing lark on a boat before. darn thing still not done and now in a box in the stables as it got rather beat up in the move.
I might open the portholes and windows though. Think it might look rather good with some lights in......

When my Great uncle was alive (lived in Stirling) and came down to see my Grandparents, i always got a copy of the Broons or oor Wullie album for christmas that was over 35 years ago, but the tradition lives on now, with my wife getting me one or the other at Christmas.Comment

Well it would seem that the mob is getting restless, so I better start sticking bits together and we might get this ship back on the right course... Please.
First bit was simple enough. After I had tidied up the bench to make room for the darn thing!

The one piece hull just needed the factory cuts for the moulds gates sanded and a quick swipe down the center to get the very fine mould join seem off. The Decks all fitted well. There are four parts, foredeck, midships and aft deck. a bit of a beast to get glued down though due to the size and that the angles twixt decks and hull prevent any clamping. Masking tape was the order of the day.

The Rudder and prop-shaft holders complete the first few steps in the instructions.

Most if not all of the super structures are also moulded in in piece, well individual pieces. You know what I mean.
It would appear that the next step is to paint the midships deck to allow the next level of deck to go down. This will also mean that the structures between the decks will need painting as well.As these will be pretty much hidden by the deck, close enough colour will do for now....found a couple of shops, on in Germany one in Holland that sells colour coat, which is good seeing that no one in the UK will send them overseas!!!
Oh! I did drill out the rear anchor eye as Trumpeter forget it. Did the one on deck, just not the hole or the one in the hull! The others have also been filled out a bit to give them the slanted bowl shape, and not just a hole at the end as Trumpy had done!. No way in hell that a chain will lay correctly in that! lol.Comment
