Time to complete this ship as its been over a year since I last touched it
Time to bring this build up to date
Here's how it looks
And the last four magazines
And the final one has more steps than the average model kit

[peterairfix]

I have finally got around to painting 6 medium guns ready for installation on the ship

[peterairfix]

Medium and heavy turrets painted and finished


And the heavy AA guns ready for painting.

Glad this is back as far too much work had been done to allow it to gather dust. Looks like there's a way to go but the end is in sight. It's a stunning model.

[peterairfix]

More parts painted and finally glued on and thankfully my tubs of stored parts are getting less.

Bad news I will be abandoning this build as I came to put the catapult in and it won't fit because all the decks are completely out of line and this stems way back to whoever built the hill frame work but as I will getting some pension money soon I will be ordering the full amati kit in the meantime its back to plastic

I might just try and bodge it so it looks decent enough but that will in the future

[boatman]

HI Peter what is it that bad ? an i gather you bought this kit from someone eles then an they made the bodge up then by not getting things right in the build is that the case ?

That is a sickener, Peter. Hope you can fix (bodge) it okay.

It's a shame Peter, especially after so much work. If the basics of the build are faulty then the further you go with it the more problems will show up.

[peterairfix]

What I will be doing after I have done my build that I am working on is I will dispense with most of the small pe(its doing my head in anyway) and just finish anything that has been constructed and just and finish it with most of the bigger pieces.
