Boy is it hard to get enough wool from a cat. Or am I doing something wrong? I'm not sure if it's in scale or not either. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn't if I where you, by the time you've spent 14 days in quarantine with the afore mentioned head I think it might be passed it's best.... 5 hours ago, Longbow said: Dead kipper then.... That's more like it, use your head man! Post him the kipper, or prawn, with instructions not to open the envelope and to just sew it into the hem of the curtains, or under the carpet beneath the radiator.... Tell him it's a free gift from a Nigerian prince looking to find a home for his vast wealth in fish products...it will bring him limitless good luck, newfound skills in soldering and the looks and charisma of a Hollywood superstar! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peter Roberts Posted November 23, 2020 Share Posted November 23, 2020 (edited) Mate, would love to see a pic of the model vs the real thing. It looks just ........ yeah, still speechless.

Not as much as i would like.................. it's my OCD again Anyway i noticed something when i posted the comparison pics........the boarding ladder was too short, and two other things had bothered me since doing the ladder from the start.....one was that i had no clear photo of how the ladder was mounted so just assumed it was hooked over the tracks.....the other thing that bothered me was just how fragile it was , i knew at some point during painting that i would almost certainly break it(cyano as i didn't have the tools to solder at the time) so tonight i decided before continuing i would rectify these bugs. The ladder is now the correct length and fully soldered and spent a few hours digging through the photos i have to try and find how they were attached....to my great excitement i found a photo of the ladder attached from above and so corrected it . The upshot is one happy chappy Correct length Correct spacing from the hull Correctly mounted via the track pin and all soldered together Have to say that apart from directly attaching the metal parts to the model i will never use cyano again to put photoetch together soldering while sometimes tricky is definitely the way to go....and takes all the need for over gentle handling out of the game. 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
