Cheers Si I will add some,\ said:The build up of green would only happen on a ship that is anchored for a long time and one that is neglected. A warship would never be allowed to get into a state, a few slight rust marks and that would be all. A warship is cleaned and painted even at sea to keep the decay, rust and cleanliness up.Si
Got nothing strong enough to cut it and it's superglued and I don't want to ruin the piece it's attached to , I'll filler it and sand it down so it won't be noticeable unless you really examine it\ said:You need to grind off the end that fits into gun housing, poor fit though.Si
I used to work in a tool room and these are milled parts , a long length of brass goes in one end and those come out the other , not even circular grinding would throw something out that bad , only thing I can think of is if these were for another kit and they were 2 short and thought that'll do\ said:Wrong fitments added is all I can think of.Si
Thanks graham I'll bare that in mind for future problems as you will see in my photos I've fillered the gaps and with a bit of paint it won't be noticeable as long as you don't measure them\ said:
Yes mate there is but tbh it's a bit pointless as you can't see it with the naked eye it's that small but it's a very good teaching experience\ said:Some fiddly detailing work here Alan, looking great though mate.Si
I sometimes wonder if too much detail can overshadow the purpose of a build sometimes...I mean, if it is too small then the eye just wanders over stuff without taking it in. But, as you say, gets you used to adding stuff.\ said:
Your right mate I meen there are little things on the forecastle that you'd never notice\ said:I sometimes wonder if too much detail can overshadow the purpose of a build sometimes...I mean, if it is too small then the eye just wanders over stuff without taking it in.

I think it is a balancing act, detailing on a large model, I mean large looks superb, however, folk, like us have a A: Not the funds. B: Not the space. C: Not the time. And finally D: A wife. That is why I think sometimes PE companies have found a place in the market for getting folk to splash out on items on a normal or mid size model that the basic kit would maybe get away with, or maybe I'm just having a moan... :D\ said:
