All premiered up.
Brian's 1/350 1918 Dreadnaught build
- Thread starter Bri62
- Start date
I've never had any problems with the veneer lifting - probably just lucky! I do clean the plastic with IPA before carefully applying the veneer, using a paint brush handle to press down firmly in the corners. I also varnish the deck after a couple of days - this seals the wood & you can remove any paint slips that happen subsequently..............

OK
That might be where I went wrong, the deck did get a coat of primer, and maybe a bit of the base colour, used colour coats for this so I thought it would be OK. I have varnished the veneer but after the original problems.

Had a bit of a mishap although I have/had a wooden deck I left my model room door open and the dog thought it was a chew 
....... could have been worse he could of chowed down on my model, anyway I wanted to try to paint a deck.

Need help I think I'm going mad parts F20 and F21 can't find them there is no F sprue or am I missing something
It's a hangover from the original Trumpeter 1907 Dreadnought! The sprue 'F' was replaced by 'G' for the 1918 model - Trumpeter missed removing this in their later instructions! That's the difficulty of producing 3 models of the same ship, with different fittings at different stages of her life! ( My 1907 model has sprue 'F' )

Brian,
just because it's on the fret doesn't mean you have to use it! I regularly miss off the tiny parts, and those that don't add anything to the model!

Coming along nicely.
One thing though. I doubt having the superstructure on the keel will catch on amongst naval architects!!! Or maybe it will??
