agyoung33 Posted July 23, 2021 Share Posted July 23, 2021 How are you doing? Its been a few years since I last built and painted a model - busy as heck and a detour into boardgames meant a time squeeze. Anyway, I used to build 1/35 armour - and unsurprisingly there's afew unfinished builds from last time - one of my things was doing some scratch. But, it seems this time I'm destined to give, well, attempt, 1/700 ships. I've always thought PE at that scale was the preserve of the mad genius....

ArnoldAmbrose Posted July 23, 2021 Share Posted July 23, 2021 Gidday Gaz, welcome aboard. Ships are my thing too, although I prefer 1/600 scale. I'm interested in seeing any ships you tackle, in any scale. Regards, Jeff. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bertie McBoatface Posted July 23, 2021 Share Posted July 23, 2021 Welcome Gazza, I think you are right about the etch - in any scale it's tricky for me but ship scale? I look forward to seeing how you manage. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For me one of the positives of gluing extremely small bits of thin brass to my fingers is that at least I'll know where it is....😅 Gaz 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
