Gisbod Posted September 23, 2021 Author Share Posted September 23, 2021 Just sneaking in a quick update. I’m about to apply the decks. I’ve (hopefully) already prepared them in terms of cutting up the Scaledecks to fit, so it should be a straightforward job(!). I’ll hopefully post some more pictures tomorrow. Night all, Guy 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gisbod Posted September 24, 2021 Author Share Posted September 24, 2021 Decks on! Still required a bit more trimming and had to fill a couple of gaps with infills but looks ok. One word of warning - I must have missed a small patch of deck with the varnish and I went to wipe off a small blob of glue (Gorilla Wood Glue - worked very well) and it takes the printing right off. I had to cut out that section and glue in a replacement. But I can’t notice it now, so no harm done. Apologies if the pictures are getting a bit repetitive, but I have limited angles to photograph from due the size. Let me know if you’re getting bored! Guy Ps. I’m quite pleased with the bridge glazing, best I could do with the thickness of the plastic, but looks way better than the kit moulded window recesses. 19 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iceman 29 Posted September 24, 2021 Share Posted September 24, 2021 Great! 😜 It's never boring, especially at this level of achievement. Do you plan to apply a light weathering? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Faraway Posted September 24, 2021 Share Posted September 24, 2021 Boring ? No way. It looks stunning,. Now, get the holy stones out and get those decks scrubbed. Jon 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adm Lord De Univers Posted September 24, 2021 Share Posted September 24, 2021 (edited) Appears I may not be alone in asking for more photos. Guy, if you please. David Edited September 25, 2021 by Adm Lord De Univers 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gidday Guy, I would have thought something that size you could climb aboard and take photos from any angle you like 😁. Seriously, photos from the same angle but different stages of the build allow for good comparisons and progress reports. And it's looking very good.

Gisbod Posted September 25, 2021 Author Share Posted September 25, 2021 (edited) Thanks again, On 9/24/2021 at 9:20 PM, Iceman 29 said: Do you plan to apply a light weathering? Basically, no Pascal. I think the shading adds enough of a weathered look for my tastes. I’ll probably do a little more here and there on the hull perhaps. It’s got a pin wash for the detailed recesses, but even that’s grey so doesn’t stand out too much. Guy Edited October 2, 2021 by Gisbod 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adm Lord De Univers Posted October 2, 2021 Share Posted October 2, 2021 Hope all is well Guy, you've spoilt us rotten with this build, so any length of time waiting for more is the least I could do regardless. Take care. David 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gisbod Posted March 11, 2022 Author Share Posted March 11, 2022 Thanks all 😃 Just got divorced Pascal.. it seems to have taken forever. I’ve been renting so no chance of modelling - I’m moving into a permanent home next month - don’t fret, it has a garage come workshop! It’ll take me a few weeks/ months to get sorted/ decorated then normal service will hopefully resume. Bissie is still on my old bench gathering dust… hopefully she’ll dust down. Amazing how much I’ve missed the therapy of modelling… 😔 Guy 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
