BeeKay Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 Hi Julian, I may be wrong but I think the Mods. intend the 1/16 section to be for discussion only and if you are doing a WIP then it just goes in the armour WIP section with all it's smaller siblings. The same happened with Martin's scratch build "big fellas". They were moved from the 1/16 section to the ready for inspection armour section. ..............I may be wrong though................. As long as we know where your build is now and can follow with glee, that's the important issue Brian 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As long as we know where your build is now and can follow with glee, that's the important issue Brian Hi Brian, thanks mate, had me worried if I had broken some secret code or something nasty like coming out of the toilet with roll stuck in the rear of your trousers and unraveling as you walk. Luckily it is only due to the WIP part of the build that I have moved so I live to play, (and sniff polystyrene cement), another day. Yay me ! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gremlin56 Posted October 24, 2015 Author Share Posted October 24, 2015 24/10 update: As Keith suggested getting my stern part into gear. Working on the Maybach powerplant. I have ordered some really magnificent conduits and braided lines from this store: http://www.prime-miniatures.co.uk/ Should help improving the general appearance : Yes, I have noticed the join lines on the engine block, long way to go yet 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Simon, paint job is still a long way off yet, shouldn't be a big problem though. Big? Yes, still getting acclimatized here after 1/32nd wingie things Nice progress so far, watching with interest Thanks for looking in Matt, still a long way to go here.

Gremlin56 Posted October 25, 2015 Author Share Posted October 25, 2015 (edited) 25/10 update: More work on the engine. I did a test run on two shells to try out the decals and the "true metal brass" polishing wax". I'll be cleaning off the shells and trying a different approach because the result wasn't very pleasing: Edited October 25, 2015 by Gremlin56 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spookytooth Posted October 25, 2015 Share Posted October 25, 2015 Coming along nicely Gremlin. The last pic gives more of an idea of it`s size.. Simon. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marty Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 Good progress there..! I've had the same experience with the AK True Metal wax - disappointing stuff for base coating but I'm not sure I've given it my best shot just yet and need to experiment a little further. I have tried using it on top of an Alclad basecoat and you get a nice patina. I'll try and post a few pics to help describe what I mean. Keep it up, always good to see these posts coming through 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
