  1. Having just acquired Trumpeter’s 1/350 U.S.S. Texas, I’m considering some aftermarket upgrades and came upon a description of the Pontos set and, as I am not a ship guy, I’m wondering if it’s worth spending nearly 3 times what I paid for the kit for what appears to be an extremely complicated (but extremely detailed) accessory that replaces much of the original plastic. Can similar results be achieved with a cheaper assortment of aftermarket items such as Eduard’s? The ship means a lot to me, and not just because I’m a native Texan or because of her historic significance. I visited the ship twice over 60 years ago when a junior high school student and have long wanted a detailed model. Also, a former college girlfriend was the lead Texas Parks Department historian for a past renovation, so there’s a great deal of sentiment involved in building a model that will do the ship justice.
  2. Ssshh! Don't ell anyone I've snuck into the big boys playground Following in the large footsteps of @Gisbod https://www.britmodeller.com/forums/index.php?/topic/235070094-revell-1144-flower-class-corvette-pontos-photo-update/ and @robgizlu https://www.britmodeller.com/forums/index.php?/topic/235005424-revell-flower-class-corvette-1144/ OK secrets out, I'm going to attempt the Revell Corvette plus Pontos set in the N Atlantic with fairly heavy weathering So were looking at with Started the base using two sheets of Celutex and despite precautions it bent like a banana. Cuts and weights later it will do for a practise run..... All that and I still feel the need...... The front right hand corner is going to look a bit bare so I thought a swamped lifeboat will look good Sanding sealer when heated forms an adhesive Mk1 and I've even done some PE A part of my addled brain said it would be nice to do a kit for a change. Doh! There are probably 20 bits of plastic used from the kit, what was I thinking ?? Well I may have very little experience with PE but if when I get to the end ....... This could be the start of a long voyage Stay safe Kev
