Courageous Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 2 hours ago, Chris Hewitt said: Roberts will be in a dry dock scene,just the bottom of the dock. Didn't realise that Roberts had such a shallow draft. Looks great on its future base, would look better on a sea base. Stuart 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jerry L Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 Hello Chris, Can you give us a little insight on the Eduard PE for the Sara. Are the instructions easy to follow, is the PE easy to bend eg. soft, hard requiring an over bend and then it 'springs' back some, or any advise you would provide? Thanks, Jerry 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gav G Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 That Roberts is an interesting old girl. I wouldn't have wanted to be in any of those forward tubs when the main guns were fired! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, Jerry I found the photo etching from Eduard very robust. Yes easy to bend,if you buy all 3 sets,there are two railings for the deck beside the funnel,on the set for the turrets.very weird.

Jerry L Posted January 24, 2019 Share Posted January 24, 2019 Thanks Chris, could the extra railings be for use after the 8"er's were replaced with the 5"er's? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike. 10 out of 10 ,I saw the 3D lifeboats and that was it ,always wanted to do Britannic ,I started Yuri ,because l was waiting for P.E. for Britannic so started the dishes on Yuri,all finished,wish the instructions from combrig were more detailed ,bit of a guessing game, what goes first. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
