Can I just confirm this is a model and it’s not you just taking pics of an actual pioneer that you’ve dismantled and are now reassembling? :tongue-out3:

Added the weight box after picking out some detail and adding a few scratches to the weights.


Next I made some air couplings from bits of evergreen. Look ok using the 2meter rule.



Then it all received a pin wash. The final work will be done when all assembled.

Marvellous. Your eye for the true wear and tear on materials is astonishing.

Thank you Peter, very kind of you to say. I try but not always successful.

A little work on the jib. I made a chain as the chain i have is to large.



Another disappointing thing about this kit is that all the wood has no grain effect. So I have added it to all surfaces including underneath the main block. None of the lockers have the choice of being shown open, so I decided i wanted one of them to be open. This meant cutting of a lid to gain access. Next a partition was made inside from evergreen sheet. This also needed the woodgrain adding. Rudimentary hinges were added they wont be seen as the lid will be opened. Finally some rivet detail was added along the face of the partition.



Finally a lid was made from evergreen and woodgrain added. Bracing strips, rivets and a handle was added. It will be added later in the build.



cheers

Hi Scottie,

couple of mould lines around the winch rollers - both roller end caps and the frame. I guess they may not be visible once the body goes on top

[scottie3158]

Cheers Simon they will be rectified.

Hi Paul, missed a lot of this as not been on here much this past week .
Tool boxes look perfect, we used to stow ropes, compo rations, Crow bars, and 16 linker ground anchors and pins plus any other crap you can think of .:smiling5:

Whole build is top notch as usual.
