Hi, might have been faster but for the terrible fit and me of course!!Wow, your flying with that build.
I have made one of my gun turrets up on mine and I thought the way you just poke the gun barrels into the hole was a little poor but I guess once it’s together it’ll look fine.
I find the hardest bit is deciding how much to construct before painting, e.g, paint deck before adding everything or just build as much as possible? I’m sure there are several schools of thought.
On the turrets i was expecting some form of hole to put the barrell in but bugger all. On 2 turrets the location was sloped and the other flat! I had to cut the barrel at an angle to get any kind of fit!
On the painting front, what you say is very true! i am going to paint the hull first, including the deck, barbettes and the moulded on bits.
I have almost finished the seperate superstruture parts etc, will then paint and add to the deck. Well thats the plan.
Then may attack the KGV, if i think i can handle it. To be honest, i am enjoying the build and all the comments and help is driving me on.
