Looks very fine to me Bob. Was the crane arm a fold up part, or did it come in separate pieces?

[tr1ckey66]

Very nice work Bob. The PE will make all the difference to the finished ship. looking forward to the final reveal - promises to be a cracker.
Cheers

Hi Tim, the crane is fold up, then there's the additional frame sitting underneath which is a separate part and the most fiddly to make

Thanks Mr P, the kits crane is terrible so this is one bit of pe which is worth having a go at.

You've certainly got the hang of this PE lark Bob.

That crane turned out very nice. You got this Bob!
What was the problem with the colour coats paint?? I have always found them to be very good and easy to use.

Hi Ian, will try again with enamels as I enough paint anyway.

Tim this is the pe, it looks like the top frame is separate, instructions not very clear

The one above has to be shaped in a box section which fits underneath the crane. Fiddly lol

[Tim Marlow]

Looks interesting Bob. It’s a one piece etch. That top section is supposed to be folded onto the three sided box made earlier from the other parts. Not an easy folding job though.
The second one could have been much easier if they had drawn the fret with the box sides attached to one of the other parts…….etch designed by a craftsman not a builder

After a good few reads finally got it! The Tamiya folding pliers were very useful on this, ordered the long nose ones as well. Saved my nails, hair etc lol. Much more confident now

Nice work on the crane ,worth the effort for the much better detail itll add.

[boatman]

HI BOYO well you certainly mastered this p/e an that crane is very similar to my crane on my tiger just a tad smaller thats all an mine was difficult to make at how big mine is but yours on how small it is proves that you are a crackin good moddeler so no more of this practice bussiness youve built it an bein that small would have been a trail for me very well done matey an lets see more of you sencesational work brilliant :thumb2: :thumb2: :thumb2: :thumb2: :thumb2:
