beefy66 Posted April 26, 2021 Share Posted April 26, 2021 Looks good Steve maybe a little more dark around the foot of the superstructure areas to give a bit more shadow. just my thoughts tough. beefy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve5 Posted April 27, 2021 Author Share Posted April 27, 2021 that sounds like a plan beefy , will have to be done near the end though , as the super structure is all over the place and goes on next to last . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Faraway Posted April 30, 2021 Share Posted April 30, 2021 @steve5 I’ve got, waiting building, the Trumpeter 1/350 Italian cruiser ‘Zara’ and will be needing anchor chain, it used to come with it, but no longer does. Are you using chain on your build, if you are, can I ask what size it is, did it come with the kit or did you get it separately ? Jon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve5 Posted April 30, 2021 Author Share Posted April 30, 2021 (edited) my chain came with the kit faraway , the one on the left is the kit supplied one , if you message me your address I will post you one , the one next to it look's like it would suit you mate .

steve5 Posted May 5, 2021 Author Share Posted May 5, 2021 (edited) thanks guys for the nice comments, this piece is a far cry from finished , just had a need to post . this took me nearly one and a half hours , trying to put .1mm wire through a .11mm hole , after painting , and I thought my eyes weren't just too bad , was a nightmare . I actually cheated and used generic railing instead of the wire for some of the smaller bits . still a lot of painting and weathering plus extra pieces to go on .

Faraway Posted May 5, 2021 Share Posted May 5, 2021 You are making some good progress there. I am always amazed by how long that ‘simple’ sub-assembly takes to build. With regards threading wire/thread through small holes, I know exactly what you mean, what’s more irritating is, that sometimes it only takes one go and at others, it seems as if the hole has disappeared.
