boatman's 1/72 HMS Tiger C20 build

[outrunner]

Hi Chris, I use stuff called Glue 'n' Glaze for all my clear parts, any overspill can be washed off with a wet cloth/cotton bud so no risk to the clarity of windows, screens etc.

:thinking: :anguished:WOW Moni i wish i had that much confidence in meself as what you seem to have in me as yes i know what an how to do the job of fitting in the glass in them bridges its just that if i get the shakes when im trying to hard as i hold my breath an all it takes is just one tiny drop of C/A to land on what would be a window pane an its disarter but jen has been helping me by holding my wrist an steadying me if i get the shakes an weve done the jobs like this before on tiger build

BUT yesterday jen was out sunbathing an (makin her jewelry neclaces an bracelets an ear rings) an i dint want to distube her so i managed on my own on fittin in the bridge glass on the hardest bridge an the glass has gone in ok but then by the time id done that on came the shakes so i stopped what i was doin as these bridges are the most critical parts of this whole build AN MUST BE RIGHT as i dont want to have to scrap both bridges as they took a fair while to build them
AN CHEERS Moni for you lookin in on the build an for you givin me confidence in my self that i can do it many thanks
ATB TO YOU

oh sorry to hear that Chris,and yes i know what its like,that is the reason I have been unable to things as well have had this shaking in the hands as well for
oh must be close to 6mths or more myself,cannot paint or build with it,just kills you not being able to do what you enjoy,and with me if i do something like
just mow the lown i will have this shaking like your out in the cold,I did have a mate at Nic,s and he had something simulate as well,but with me im just feel
very cold all the time ,I did mention it to John sometime back,as im not real one to go on about things,I have no clue why its happening
but i do hope you will get better soon and back to a steady hand,so glad that Jen is able to help you out,get better soon

HI Andy thanks for the info but thats the stuff ive all ready tried on my plastic portholes to glue glass in them an left them to dry for a few days an then splashed them with water an the glue went white an the glass fell out so no good im afraid
but cheers for your idea keep them comin

Sorry Chris, I never thought about that as my models don't go near water.

Looks good Chris, I can just image how you felt when that screen slipped in your hand. Normally the damn CA grabs it straight away when you have a slip up you were lucky.:thumb2:

HI John yes thankfully i was quick to remove that single glass pane but as you say i was lucky that the C/A im useing dont go off in an instand or it would have been a job to put right but thenk goodness it turned out ok as this is a exspensive model
an im looking forward to the day i can launch her
thanks for lookin in John

HI Paul long time no see hope you are ok an how is that fantastic panzer have you had a drive with it yet ? an yes im pleased at how tiger is all beginning to come togeather but still a heck of a lot more to do as all eletrics ' guns turrets 'an all the small fitting an over 400 odd railing to fit an then they will all be painted white bar the main deck railings an ive still to fit in the qauter deck an make it water tight but it must still be able to come out for access to the rudder controls so still a lot to do i think i'll have a long white berd by the finish time an to old to lauch her lol
an will you ever do a blog on here as you are a very good moddeller or is life getting in the way ?
