BadCop Posted September 18, 2008 Share Posted September 18, 2008 Great looking work Dave. I'd be too terrified to have a go at such a large amount of PE and resin conversion parts, but you seem to be off to a great start. The PE for the Centurion was more than enough!

Dave Posted September 27, 2008 Author Share Posted September 27, 2008 (edited) Cheers BC & Pete! Here's a couple more pics: The main addition is the pair of support brackets for the main stowage bin - which itself needs to be constructed entirely from one of the p.e. sheets Edited September 27, 2008 by Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stebos Posted October 2, 2008 Share Posted October 2, 2008 That is impressively neat PE work there. A question for folding up PE boxes etc... do you seal up the edges with anything? Or is the fold neat enough to avoid gaps when the open edges meet up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted October 2, 2008 Author Share Posted October 2, 2008 Thanks Stebos. The edges are sometimes neat enough to not need any filler (not very often), otherwise I use Pacer's Zap-A-Gap or their white glue Formula '560'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Posted October 6, 2008 Author Share Posted October 6, 2008 I think that the end may just be insight for work on the hull, most of the main sticking bits together part has been completed (the p.e. frets are starting to look nice and empty anyway). It'll then be put aside so I can concentrate on the turret. I must admit that I'm not looking forward to constructing the turret baskets, resin jigs are provided so that brass rod can be bent to shape to form the frames - however, word has it the jigs are not the correct size. We shall see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
