Well this one is well on it's way, was thinking of making it R/C but decided it was not worth the extra cost, the photo-ech parts are a pain to do but i will keep at it.

The skull bridge will take a lot of work as it must have been a bad moulding & theres not a lot of diff between the one that comes with the kit.

Some very nice work there John looking very good and very big

[Guest]

looking great john, i am almost up to the weathering stage with mine,been on it for just under three months now. have struggled with the pe as i have never used it before but you seem to have got the better of it.i have not taken any in progress pics but will post up when finished,just about to start the crew. something for you to watch for john is the tiny stantions on the back deck, ihave snapped and reglued a good few off them now. then i found a website that sells them in brass, too late for me now but if your intersted.....

Rail stanchions, 1 hole stanchion, 2 3 hole stanchions

i reckon 2 hole 25mm would be about right

[Guest]

a question i have to ask is what is the difference between the resin skull cap and the kit supplied one, i thought about getting it but didnt bother as money was tight.. you must love photo etch with the amount you have, mine is virtually out of the box build apart from the rubber dinghy and crew. toying with the idea of a rather large dio including the italeri long dock kits but it would end up about four feet long by about eighteen inches.

[Guest]

To be honest the diff is minamul, the rivets are more defined on the resin bridge also wood planks are part of it but iff u have the photo-ech parts it wont look any differant.

The skullbridge in the pic's with eched bit's on is the resin one.

Iff i could go back i would not have botherd.

Hope this helps.

So a sheet of rivet decals and some milliput weld seams would do the trick then. Thanks John, I'll remember that when I start my one.

[Guest]

how did you get the helmet holders so nice and round and uniform, mine are a complete mess and as a result i only have three that i can get helmets into.. i also made a bit of a mess of the long thin strips that go on the mine rails.if i ever venture far with pe again i will get myelf one of those hold and fold thingies.

[Guest]

Hi Andrew to get them round i used a bull point pen to get them round.

I use a taperd pen so i can change the angle of bend, hope this will help.

Any updates on this build please?

[Guest]

Hi Gregg, i must confess i have put this to one side for some time being, SWMBO is getting a bit annoyed at all the kits i have left lying around unfinished.

At this i must agree, i have just had a look at whats on the bench unfininshed ;- 95% finished German Staff car, 50% 2x 1/16 Figures, 85% US PT Boat, 60% GB Build, 85% Armoud Train + Trailour with Tank,

30% Royal Sovereign pluss the 60% S-100 so i think she has a point.

I also had the Pink Panther Dio that i just finished to make a bit more room.

Will start again on this as soon as i can.
