Neil's Italeri 1/35 LCVP Landing Craft

[Neil Merryweather]

That really looks the business, and I think you’ve just given me some ideas for how to finally make similar things for the LWS I’ve had nearly complete for years due to not having any reasonable way of making rope bumpers for it.

Cheers Jakko, I was looking at the pyjama cord and thinking it wasn't really right, but then I thought why not, let's see if it will work.
Do show us your results, won't you ?

[Neil Merryweather]

Apologies for the late attendance Neil , lifes been a bit hectic this last few months. What a superb display of modelling skills , the attention to detail and out of this world scratching is a pleasure to watch . Damn !, you might even get me wanting to make a floaty thing !! Cheers tony

Tony you're always welcome.
To be honest I think of it as more like an AFV than a floaty thing at the moment , but you go right ahead,sir!

[Neil Merryweather]

That's very impressive work

Cheers Mick

Wow neal your dedication to getting these fenders right is admiral . They look as if they were bought in from a retailer.

[Gern]

Ha ha thanks Dave. I'm afraid your warning is rather late, it's been going all my married life. In fact I even made her wedding dress .And with three daughters and a daughter in law it really does impact on my bench time. They're always buying things that are too long, knowing I can take them up! What can you do?

So there really is no end to your talents!

Oh there are plenty of things I am utterly crap at, like money management, cooking and gardening, real world things that might actually make a difference

With two daughters & a daughter-in-law, you've already made a difference.

That is some superb rope work Neil.

[Neil Merryweather]

Thanks for the interest and the excellent comments chaps.
Not much to report, but I have painted and fitted the stern fender


I think it's a bit out of scale, but at least I know how to do it again when I can't stand it any more....
And I have added to the CITF in the form of some tarps, made of different types of paper , wetted and Kleered.







that's all for now, thanks for following
