Looking good Paul. It’s your eye for correction of the minor errors that lifts your builds so high.

Looks amazing, despite what you class as mistakes.

I doubt I'd be able to see them in real life, never mind fix them

I'm always surprised at the errors & omissions in my work revealed by the camera in my scale. PaulE

I know you think it's right but as they say, "The camera never lies"

Except when it does It will show up things you won’t see on the real thing after a coat of paint, and at the same time it won’t show stuff you can see on the real thing because of the way the paint ends up looking in the photo …

Your eye for detail is what makes your builds, Paul, as Paul E says, the camera shows up all the issues.

Thanks Graeme, I wish I had the skills to do some of the things I see done.

This is taking a while to build the parts need a lot of clean up. The front bulkhead has been started with the addition of some PE. The radio was rebuilt and a cable added to the handset.




The side wall has had new rivets and tie downs added. the lockers have had PE or scratched additions. One box had a big blow hole so it was easier to make one out of laminated strips.



Although this is not an easy build I am enjoying it.

cheers

That’s looking very good.

How did you make the domed rivets?

I have a rivet punch set they make domed rivets from 0.6mm to 2mm

 

[outrunner]

This is looking very good Paul do you make the handles/tie downs with a proper bender tool or just pliers?

Andy thanks mate. I made a little tool. A cheap pair of flat tweezers with two strips of etch sprue on one face and a single piece on the opposite side. this produces the shape then when cut to length the ends are flattened with some smooth pliers. HTH.

And to you matey, trust you had a good one. Thanks very much for the encouragement.

Some more work on the fighting compartment. A bit of PE added and some more tie downs. One piece of the etch and a big piece by etch standards pinged off in to oblivion, so made replacement from pewter and a strap from the spare PE draw. Given the issues I have been having the parts went together fairly well.







cheers
