Your good here Reuben and I expect mine to come in tomorrow.

A beotch about the flaps but she does look very Nice!I see the two of us basically like to use the same technique when spraying the camo colors light pressure,small tip and the gun is always moving for that irregular pattern gives it a natural worn look.

Thanks Guy I keep finding stuff added more to the forward mast last night and added more rafts to the back of the SS as depicted in 1943.I am mapping out the rigging in my head ATTM steel wire was supplied(black) which I will use as anchor point above were EZ line will attach to.The steel line will not sag under the stress making things look more natural.The pics are the very first with a different camera still playing also got a tripod helped alot on clarity. I think I have to go with the Bismark after this one just like that Atlantic bow and German design.

I have been researching the rigging and to my total surprise Trumpter got something wrong on the mastThe lower yard arm was short and incorrect never check the sister ship?So I made the new one then there was these mooring lights below the upper yard the diagram was 1/200 scale so made that out of brass.I will in due time when all painted grey add drops of window clear product to the top of the cylinders inside and paint red top/white bottom. Again upon further inspection in 1943 she had 5X post jutting out from the upper observation platform for lines to go to lower decks again brass came to the aid. The cranes were rigged finally once was done the understanding was pretty good I think I got it right 2Dpics to 3D life can be misconstrued at times. I have covered all the railing on the forward SS that had canvas covering I may still go a tad darker in color? Rob you notice anything different?

That's a Nice looking build John and she looks the part.

Now that's funny.

Looks much like my Remington repo.

I am sure our boy Hubert has a few in the stash he likes those down the beaten path.

This is really starting to take shape as to the skirts I would ask does it add more prowess to the beast?

I will eventually Scott on the back burner for now the cyl cost more then the gun ATTM.I have to many irons in the fire right now so will play with the cap/ball experience for now but she sure has a nice balance.

I sorry I saw him in concert like in 1976 Black Sabbath then I think with Mahogany Rush in Mobile.I went to see MR not BS who was ok never was a big fan of Ozzy. Had to be later I was 15 in 76 I was about 17 so 78 maybe MR rock-n- rolled.

The actual piece arrived at the doorstep the other day via the USPS.The trigger on this piece is much smoother and lighter than either the SF 1911 or my 38SP Snub Nose methinks

Nice! but one of those build Hubert ...now let's put it in the case.

I appreciate that Mike I am so ready to move onto the rigging but I digress still have to finish the blast bags for one,davits,boarding ladders ......you get the idea.

Nice one Brad I take it it's the 1/48 kit?I like crashing some of those easy builds from time to time a feeling of accomplishment

Yea one of the fellas over at LSP mentioned that up to that point was some other company only who Mike said were very iffy...North Star I think?Thanks for looking in keep thinking rigging and I keep finding more to do.I think I will paint the tissue so as not so opaque

Progress is slow but staedy the first pic I have I guess what is a type of gangway that comes off the SS area not glued yet just there with the canvas covering I have to complete this in a few areas.I broke the roll off fixable A view from the rear I wanted to mount a single 20mm to the deck they are so detailed in 3D print I opened the ends of the torpedo storage and loaded a torpedo to be inserted just let it be known what all that area was used for. The kit did not supply a fixture up by the forward launch in front of the stack a column with a fire hose on top now I know why it's buried in there. A pic of the aft SS has it's railings now. The overall view I finally this week got the handles installed to the top of the case makes life so much easier and safer for handling.

I see you have that same little bit on the L/side I thought was a short run and it is a beotch to assemble.

The most beautiful airliner ever built this was MacArthur's actual crate in Korea the last ten minutes is just beautiful!

Yes it is martin mine has smooth grips.I am going to try the percussion black powder for kicks but they do make a replacement cylinder for about $290 that shoots cowboy 45

t's not a model now but I have been bidding for six years trying to get something like this and it was 275+auction fees+shipping=350 the gun brand new is 582 so I am good.

Well you been keeping the hands busy Nice build by the way I did the 1/72 from Trump it was nice fit/build.

That is

better location moved to other hobby.

That looks good Guy and the weathering is not overdone I have definitely done worse in larger scales. I figured you be out cruise'in the country side on the bike this time of year? Good to see you in the forum I need someone to wack a spoon on the head from time to time.
