longshanks Posted August 27, 2018 Share Posted August 27, 2018 Stunning job Rob, to your usual high standards It may have taken some time but it was worth the wait on this unusual subject One tiny, tiny critique the fore and aft wire from the mast head is an aerial wire. As such it would have insulators at each end and either side of the mast. The front and rear sections would probably linked and there would be a link wire down to the cabin top again with an insulator. Where you lead others follow ….

Terry1954 Posted August 27, 2018 Share Posted August 27, 2018 Hi Rob, I agree with Kev, this is stunning. I enjoyed the WIP and this RFI really shows it well and is yet another example of these sorts of builds that are inspiring me down this theme of modelling. If my Vosper works, I'd like to tackle one of these next and if it comes out half as good as yours, I'll be well pleased! Cheers Terry 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Courageous Posted August 27, 2018 Share Posted August 27, 2018 As Kev says, well worth the wait. Now that Kev has highlighted those insulators on the aerials, I think I had better make sure they're done as it looks like I'm following .

JohnWS Posted August 27, 2018 Share Posted August 27, 2018 She's a beauty Rob! 👍👍 Love the details. The weathering looks very effective. The lead wire rope coils look very realistic, as well. John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

seadog Posted August 27, 2018 Share Posted August 27, 2018 Excellent! Really fine work updating the Airfix kit! Coastal Craft do really good accessories, and having built one of their BPB co MGBs, I can recommend their full kits as well. F Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robgizlu Posted August 28, 2018 Author Share Posted August 28, 2018 Thanks Gents for all the kind comments Kev - I'm experimenting with PVA +/or CA glue for insulators. Thanks for that - it makes loads of sense Rob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for that - it makes loads of sense I used PVA in the past but you need to get the consistency right. Experiment off model and when you get it holding go for it.

Terry1954 Posted October 1, 2018 Share Posted October 1, 2018 Hmm insulators? 🤔 These look good. Should I be thinking insulators when I come to rig the Vosper? Terry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
