Kev I did wet the sandpaper at the start but ran out of spit and could not be bothered to keep taking the face mask off Mrs Beefy said I had to leave it on You look better that way she said beefy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well it did say make sure you are wearing these in the instruction booklet Any way small update the deck has finally done as it is told and stuck down Marked out the plastic card and roughly cut it to shape and stuck that in place it is starting to work now Also made a start on the bandstand supports And a few bit dry fitted Beefy 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gremlin56 Posted May 12, 2017 Share Posted May 12, 2017 Nice going Keith, that's an amazingly hefty breakwater, must have been a very "wet" ship to necessitate that construction I would think, 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beefy66 Posted June 6, 2017 Author Share Posted June 6, 2017 Well a bit busy keeping you lot entertained on another build so this has been waiting in the wings so to speak not much done but will be adding some crew and a few other bits These are what I purchased at the Northern Model show last weekend These will not all be used on this build but will come in handy for other builds beefy 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beefy66 Posted June 7, 2017 Author Share Posted June 7, 2017 Small amount done tonight scratch built the exhaust port that the carpet monster got maybe just a bit to big beefy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beefy66 Posted August 28, 2017 Author Share Posted August 28, 2017 Well been a bit busy with another build but have found some time to get back on to this as some of you might have thought I had forgot about it Started building up the the forward gun but have had a small accident I have broken the muzzle so any help full advice from those of you who have the dark art of scratch building in your blood beefy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
longshanks Posted August 28, 2017 Share Posted August 28, 2017 Is it the flash eliminator (cone) you've bust? If it is... Cocktail stick/sharp pencil. Shouldn't need release agent unless you flood with superglue Wrap paper around tightly (cone shape). Let super glue soak into paper et voila .... a cone to be cut to size HTH Kev 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beefy66 Posted August 29, 2017 Author Share Posted August 29, 2017 Thanks again for your help Kev Did not quite get the origami right with the paper rolling after about 10 attempts never did try roll your own smokes or smoking at all for that matter But I did remember a friend from my local club made me a rolling tool with a point on it and tried to make to replacement cone with tin foil Does not look to bad what do you think it is only dry fitted to the 2 pounder barrel at the minute Just needs to be glued and straightened I think beefy 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beefy66 Posted September 4, 2017 Author Share Posted September 4, 2017 After seeing the great work andrewa has made of his MTB build I thought I had better get my finger out with this one Well heavy handed Harry has been at it again while trying to separate the outer shield for the bridge I have managed to break it into umteen bit's and I have lost some parts to the carpet monster which is strange as there is no carpet in the garage were my desk is So got some thin plastic strip and made up the missing bits lesson to myself try and be a bit more patient with this thing beefy 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
