rollsroyce Posted October 14, 2016 Share Posted October 14, 2016 Looking Good SeanM. Good luck with all those railings. I paint mine before attaching and then just touch up. Cheers Guy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeanM Posted October 15, 2016 Author Share Posted October 15, 2016 Thanks Gents. Finally plucked up the courage to do the railings. Only primed so far. Next up hull colour then cut them on a tile, attach with PVA and then clean up any chips. Sounds so simple 🤔 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thom216 Posted October 16, 2016 Share Posted October 16, 2016 It always sounds simple... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeanM Posted October 20, 2016 Author Share Posted October 20, 2016 That Uschi line is very fine and awkward to manipulate in tight spaces but it does look better than ordinary household thread But that's the last bit before the railings so no more excuses. They are painted and putting them on will keep me busy for the weekend. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob 1 Posted October 20, 2016 Share Posted October 20, 2016 That looks like good line, and definitely better than ordinary thicker thread, so certainly worth the effort . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeanM Posted October 20, 2016 Author Share Posted October 20, 2016 Thanks Rob. Finally started the railings. Using tiny dabs of superglue. Bit of cleanup required but pretty pleased with the result so far. But these were straight lengths. Rest will need bends..... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beefy66 Posted October 21, 2016 Share Posted October 21, 2016 Looking great there Sean Beefy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeanM Posted October 21, 2016 Author Share Posted October 21, 2016 Thanks Beefy! It wasn't as bad as I expected but doing the upper decks with bends will be more problematic. But I'm hoping this weekend will see the end of it.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
murfv Posted October 21, 2016 Share Posted October 21, 2016 Sean, Those rails are looking great and really add to the appearance of DDG151. I hope you are bringing it over for the table @ Telford. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeanM Posted October 21, 2016 Author Share Posted October 21, 2016 Should be done in time for the club table Vinny, but not into the competition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeanM Posted November 5, 2016 Author Share Posted November 5, 2016 Still working away on the railings a bit at a time. Lots of cleanup to be done and touch-ups on the paint. But I'm getting there. I really should focus on one project at a time. Currently too many on the bench. This, a Puma AFV, a figures vignette with some DevGru operators and a secret little project for our next club Newsletter. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeanM Posted November 7, 2016 Author Share Posted November 7, 2016 Railings cleaned up, life raft pods attached and started on the flight deck safety nets. Two more evenings should see the end of it. Just need to finish and tidy up the rear nets, add the 25mm chain guns and a very light few streaks down the side. Add the helicopter also. And front and rear flag-staffs 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beefy66 Posted November 7, 2016 Share Posted November 7, 2016 Looking good Sean very neat work with the railings. Beefy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jockster Posted November 7, 2016 Share Posted November 7, 2016 Looking rather splendid Sean, having the USS Cole ready to come back out when the new mancave gets sorted it's been a joy watching the Nathan James come together. Great little kits! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeanM Posted November 9, 2016 Author Share Posted November 9, 2016 All done at last. Thanks to everyone who took the time to watch, comment, advise and/or encourage me on this voyage. Cheers Sean PS: she will be on the IPMS Ireland table in Telford this weekend 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madhatter Posted November 9, 2016 Share Posted November 9, 2016 I've literally only just discovered this build, and I must say - i really like it!! Didn't "The Last Ship" only last one season? It looked quite promising but never got anywhere if it's the same show I'm thinking of. You've done a great job on the weathering. It's subtle and not over done. Something I will be taking note of when I get to that stage Si Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeanM Posted November 9, 2016 Author Share Posted November 9, 2016 Thanks Mad, but no the show has been going for 3 seasons already and season 4 is being shot currently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As Sean says, series 4 of The Last Ship is in production and series 5 has already got the go ahead. John 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
