I know it isn't much fun hearing this now , but quite a few modelers on utube , stress to use wood glue , as well to attach the wood to the decking . I have been out of modeling for a few months myself , only just caught up on this thread now . you could try syringing some super glue under the wood a bit at a time .

very nice PE work jon

hi all , sorry I haven't posted in a while , google wiped out all my pictures and wouldn't let me back in , wouldn't even let me start a new lot . so I had to go to a computer expert to fix it , as you can see I have started the hms dreadnaught , this is where I am up to .

know what you mean jon been waing for two kits from the us since late august , still hasn't reached aust , it's all covids fault apparently .

thanks hans , I have already ordered 3 different sets from northstar , as I haven't heard of superhobby , they are going into my favourites .

thats a nice looking model beefy

thanks for that rob , will be getting a couple of sets .

not sure if i am in the right area here , if not I aplogise , but I am looking for 1/200 japanese naval figures ,I have seen them , but for the life of me I can't remember where . I have purchased the 1/200 yamato , they would give that little bit extra to it .

nice clean pe work sam .

nice , work , jon .

stunning paint work sam ,

nice work on the PE ,I don't know how you can even see them , to put together . 😶

thanks jon , thats exactly what I intend to do . spring warmth has finally arrived , and my backyard is a mess . cheers bertie , I've seen your work mate , you will have no problems , I'm pretty chuffed with it , wasn't sure I could pull it off , don't know if I will have another go though , we'll see .

the crews aboard and I'm calling this ship done . a little privacy please

life is always better when mo and jo see eye to eye , the build looks great .

stunning work rob

nice work jeff

the crew ready to board .

I think it will be a while before i live that one down , 😛. thankyou bertie , that's one really good thing about modeling , helping someone out . cheers iceman , it's my first go at this kind of build , be awhile before I try another one me thinks . made some more hanks , apart from the crew it's just about done.

@Faraway , @ArnoldAmbrose , thanks guy's .

bertie , it is always nice to help out a fellow modeler . glad I could . jon , I think this is the fifth one of these I have done , this for sure is the best , my first was horrible , and I must say I am pretty proud of it too . could I ask how you did that @steve5 please mate .

I hope this helps bertie , I've still got a lot of hanks to put on . but here goes . as i said I hope this helps you mate . if you need more let me know .

bertie ,_ I don't think I have a lot more to do to the ship , is their anything in particular you want to look at , I'll try and take some better photos for you . jeff , _ it's getting pretty bad when you can't tell your david's from your davit's , 🤣

thanks rob well I finally got around to finishing the billboards , and I added a david to the stern of the ship .

Thanks beefy , l really could have used Sid, a few times on this build .
