rollsroyce Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 Hi Beefy. Sooo thin but pretty strong and look just the right scale. Great work. Going to be using that idea to keep railings flat to the decks. Thanks Guy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rollsroyce Posted August 22, 2016 Share Posted August 22, 2016 Hi Beefy Those are really fine railings.... looking good. Is the Gator glue easy to use? I'm using CA as it grabs quicker than I can drop it or have it ping into the wild blue yonder. Cheers Guy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beefy66 Posted November 22, 2016 Author Share Posted November 22, 2016 Guy sorry about the late reply but I have been busy with another project so this one took second place. The gator glue is easy to use and helps with getting the PE in place as you can play around with it that is why I needed to use the rule as a weight to keep the rails in place HTH Anyway now my son and his girlfriend are settled into their little nest and all my DIY jobs are done it is time to get back on with this build Starting to make the sea base up also opted out of using the kit decals for the bridge windows and used a fine tip marker to fill them in.

KAYELL Posted November 23, 2016 Share Posted November 23, 2016 Hi Beefy About time you got this one based up, to add to the superb build. I now need to go to the local B&Q to see if there is any silicon sealant left!!! Cheers Keith 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beefy66 Posted November 25, 2016 Author Share Posted November 25, 2016 Small update added a couple of layers of tissue paper to form the base when this was dry I added a layer of Making Waves to seal off the tissue and give a solid finish to the base before setting the ship into the sea scape I test fitted before using PVA to glue it in Beefy 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beefy66 Posted December 3, 2016 Author Share Posted December 3, 2016 Small update I have dry brushed the white around the hull and the wake at the stern not wanting to make it look like the ship is going hell for leather trying to keep it subtle which is a first for me Next up the rest of the railing and aerial to attach and the helicopters for the flight deck 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
