Faraway Posted May 19, 2021 Share Posted May 19, 2021 I didn't realise quite how quickly I built this ship, it wasn't very difficult, except for some of the PE on the bridge. THAT was a royal fiddle. I just need to fit the anchor chain when it arrives, many thanks to @steve5 for his generosity. Just have to wait on the Australian/UK postal services. I'm still exploring the weathering (rust) technique, I think I'm making progress. The PE included in the kit was ok, some of the ladders were a bit fragile and didn't like being bent, I'm glad I added the MASTER Gun Barrels, much more in scale than the moulded ones. One thing would have been nice was a rigging diagram, Trumpeter don't seem to do this. I hope you enjoy the following pictures. Jon 36 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers Nick The PE on the bridge wasn’t too bad, it was a case do a bit and walk away, and repeat until done. The worst bits were the ladders, they didn’t like being bent in different directions at the same time. I do often wonder if the folks who write the instructions ever actually use them to build the models. Jon 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
