Shaping up nicely Matey.....

 

A thought re dust would it be better to use the paper wet?

 

Kev

 

I did wet the sandpaper at the start but ran out of spit and could  not be bothered to keep taking the face mask off Mrs Beefy said I had to leave it on You look better that way she said  :shrug:

Well it did say make sure you are wearing these in the instruction booklet  :book:

 

Any way small update the deck has finally done as it is told and stuck down  :D

 

Marked out the plastic card and roughly cut it to shape and stuck that in place it is starting to work now

Yes Andy I have the same problem I was told about working with resin so I take no chances and make sure I wear my PPE just like I do at work

 

Warning you may get a fright at the next photo  :wink:

 

You have been warned

I thought that dressing up like that was our little secret :lalala:

 

Cheers

Nice job on the transom

 

Rob

 

Well a bit more work done on getting the hull and deck tidy I have drilled out the holes for the exhaust ports but have managed to lose one to the carpet monster

so will look to making a one from plastic card and rod with my punch and die set  :idea:

Well a bit busy keeping you lot entertained on another build so this has been waiting in the wings so to speak not much done but will be adding some crew and a few other bits

 

These are what I purchased at the Northern Model show last weekend

These will not all be used on this build but will come in handy for other builds

Well been a bit busy with another build but have found some time to get back on to this as some of you might have thought I had forgot about it

 

Started building up the the forward gun but have had a small accident I have broken the muzzle so any help full advice from those of you who have the dark art of scratch building in your blood  :idea:

Is it the flash eliminator (cone) you've bust?

 

If it is...

Cocktail stick/sharp pencil. Shouldn't need release agent unless you flood with superglue

Wrap paper around tightly (cone shape).

Let super glue soak into paper

et voila .... a cone to be cut to size

 

HTH

Thanks again for your help Kev  :yes:

 

Did not quite get the origami right with the paper rolling after about 10 attempts never did try roll your own smokes or smoking at all for that matter

 

But I did remember a friend from my local club made me a rolling tool with a point on it and tried to make to replacement cone with tin foil

 

Does not look to bad what do you think it is only dry fitted to the 2 pounder barrel at the minute

Just needs to be glued and straightened I think  :idea:

After seeing the great work andrewa has made of his MTB build I thought I had better get my finger out with this one

 

Well heavy handed Harry has been at it again while trying to separate the outer shield for the bridge I have managed to break it into umteen bit's and I have lost some parts to the carpet monster which is strange as there is no carpet in the garage were my desk is  :think:

So got some thin plastic strip and made up the missing bits lesson to myself try and be a bit more patient with this thing
