I have never one thought of building a model ship....until now
I think thouhg.. I would just save myself the heartache of screwing it up, by buying the kit and mailing it to you with return shipping label, precut foam and fited box for return of completed kit

Oh no, I love the wood. I'm going to put the decking on my HMS Warspite and I'm just worries about messing it up. Especially during painting. It'll have to go on after that, pushing the deck pieces to the very end.

Actually, it makes painting worlds easier. One thing that has always given me fits with shipbuilding is painting vertical surfaces and then masking off and painting the decks. These decks eliminate the vast majority of the hassle. Just paint, do whatever weathering you want, then add the decks.

(I didn't think about the weathering until AFTER I added the decks.... oh well, it'll be different on Prinz Eugen)

Yes, that's what I'm looking forward to.

Raving neato so far Dave-like the way the white glue on the railings turned out. I may
have to borrow that technique, as I seem to be getting deeper into some steampunk
sea-going shennanigans....

You studio scale people have rubbed off on me...

I think I've got a salve for that....

Getting ready for a move. One thing led to another this weekend - she got a little sunlight:

Take your time,Cat.

I'm confident that eventually,the mighty Scharnhorst will put to sea.

Good luck,and be careful while you're moving.

I like it.

Never underestimate the power of the-er, Elmer's Glue! I use it in all of the traveling dioramas I have built. Once it sets, it is forever...
