Too many kits .........

[Ian M]

Things you can not have to much or many of:


Kits.


Bacon


Coffee.


Time.


and not necessarily in that order....Oh doughnuts. I forgot doughnuts.


Nice ship look forward to seeing you build that Peter...

Dave check out modeldockyards they have pe set for arizona.

I already have the Trumpeter PE set Alan thanks. One review I have seen says there are not enough railings supplied in the kit, but the additional sets specifically for this kit I have seen are either very expensive as they contain lots of parts or too fiddly - the Eduard set has the deck railings with separate stanchions and chain type railings which need to be hooked on to them. I'd never be able to cope with those!


I have seen some generic type railings which may be OK for my purposes but the suppliers I've found don't have them in stock and seem unable to say when they could get them. When I get the kit and I can check the exact type of railings needed, I'll ask our John - he's bound to be able to help. There's no rush though. Even if I started the kit as soon as it arrives, it would be many moons before I'd be ready to start fitting the PE!


Apologies Peter - I seem to have hijacked your thread a little!

Bacon! ...... One of my "Five a Day", Sausages, Fried Eggs, Fried Bread & Fried Tomatoes ........ Put that on a plate and you've pretty much covered all the main food groups ........


........ It might be a while before this one comes out of the box....... There are a couple in front of it. But I think it'll be a good one to take me through the winter months, as it looks like it'll take a while, as the fit is a bit suspect on the kit and there is a lot of rigging ........... We'll see how big a bite I've taken which involves all that proverbial chewing....

[Gern]

So you too know the four main food groups: sugar, starch, grease and burnt crunchy bits! Good man.

I now have a full set of Metal Turned Gun Barrels for this .............. I'm proper looking forward to getting onto this one, it's still a couple of months off as I want to finish off my current project, then I have a fairly simple and relaxing build planned before the dining table becomes a Russian Shipyard.............. and I think building it'll take a while as well.

Impressive set of guns there.

Impressive set of guns there.

It had a lot of them ....... Unfortunately the Gun Crews were ill disciplined and had only very basic training as did the whole ships company...... So the Japanese made big holes in it and it sank just 9 Months after it was Commissioned.

.I'd really like to get hold of the "Wooden Deck Kit" that was produced for it.......... But it seems everywhere on t'internet that advertises them are out of stock........ so maybe it isn't produced any more. I might just have to see if I can remember far back in my apprenticeship how to do "wood graining"

I am not into ships but i did build the titanic for my daughter a couple of years ago and enjoyed it.


that russian ship looks great my motto is if you realy want a kit and can afford it BUY IT and if you cant aford it BUY IT you might not get it later.

John (The Shop) can get me "The Wooden Deck Kit" from someplace ...... Big result. The man is a hero.
