No jim just the model with unpainted PE

Bit of a catastrophe on this one missus knocked one of the sub assemblies off the bench, i can't find the pe range finder also can't find the bit the crane is held between on the 2 bits that both broke off to say I'm annoyed is an understatement, i was going to try and finish the Oerlikons this weekend, also some of the pe mast stuff is missing or bent (hopefully I can straighten that out.







Not sure what else is missing I'm hoping anything else won't notice.

I had something similar happen to me with my HMS Hood. One of my cats knocked the boat off my desk and damaged a lot of the PE. I was using the pontos PE set. So I managed to replace the bits that where broken with the Eduard set.

I only have the one set and since once built she's destined for the bin I doubt I will be spending any money on extra pe

[Guest]

Impressive work sir.

Hi all well I finally got some modelling time and I've fixed what I can and I've now glued the sub assy's to the deck (I know it will make adding further pe problematical but I figure the whole ship will have to be knocked off the bench to damage bits in the future)






So now I have about a gazillion bits of PE to add to the Oerlikons, then all the railings, build and add the last set of pompoms to the stern big guns, add the pe to those guns and the job should be a goodun.

Ken,
That looks the nuts mate some lovely bling. Hope you haven't tempted fate about knocking it off.

Hi Ken
Glad to see this being worked on again. It really does look good.

Hi all well all the Oerlikons are finally done as is the last of the pompoms (I accidentally stuck the shields on the wrong way round on the first of this set of Oerlikons and thought the brass showed up better so I've done all the rest the wrong way round (if you use the etched detail side you can hardly notice the pe)(here's a challenge try to find the ones with the pe the right way round they hardly notice)

Ken ,great progress, don't envy you the pe. Can we have some photos of some of it against a rule sows can judge the size easier. Thanks.
John.

Incredible so far, I like the piled up bling, it's almost too beautiful to cover it with paint.

Hi Ken, very impressed with all your PE work on this lovely boat, good luck with the final bits:thumb2:!

Cheers
