HMS ESKIMO...The Pictures are now on My gallery
Chears John, the pictures of the build thus far are on my Gallery pages... the shot Of the Tribal with the Atlantic Dazzle cam is the one im using as a painting guide... Id say about four more color coats then two coats of varnish on the hull, the upper works will take the same but the drybrushing and deck detail work will take a long while yet.
So far im very happy with the build and the Kit. The Hull is a work of art (the basic Deans standard...always excellent!) The vac formed plastics have always been my least fave part of any ship kit... the ship boats are causing my blood presure to skyrocket but apart from that I have no grumbles... apart from the fact that i only had railings enough for the deckhouses and 2/3rds of the deck... the Rails are lacking midships port and starboard from the Q pompom to the 2nd funnel. I wish Deans supplied an extra 20 inches of railings with this kit!
Im tempted to cheat and buy in the launch and boats... its just that from experiance i know how big a diff these make when they are perfect rather then "Good enough".. so if anyone can recomend 1.96 scale jolly boats etc please let me know!
