Paul's HMS Devonshire.......Airfix.....1/600

[PaulTRose]

So this was new tool in 1963 i didnt realise it was that old til i just checked.....i thought it was late 60s/early 70s

Will also be an out of my comfort zone build for me cos i dont do many floaty boaty things

[Nicko]

Good luck Paul. I'm following...

These old 1/600 kits are pretty basic but with care can build up nicely. I wish you luck.

With a couple of ships in this GB, I wonder if I could be persuaded to try one myself. One day.

took me 2 hours last night to get the hull halves together.......very warped.......ended up using super glue and brute force to hold it together........added some braces using bits of sprues......next is plenty of sanding

Oh and adding a date to a model is an old habit lol

[Jim R]

You've done well to get the hull together. Mind you it had to be otherwise the rest just wouldn't fit so 2 hours well spent.

[pjgtech]

Nothing worse than warped bit, (Oo-er Missus!).
Worth it though in the long run. 8-)

[HAWKERHUNTER]

Good idea on the additional braces. Nothing worse than the demon crack appearing in the join when the painting is completed.

[PaulTRose]

Finally some progress
ive been nursing cold all week so feel grotty
its took me this long just get the filling done snd sanded....and now ive primered i can see something else to fill
Hopefully things will speed up now the hulls done
