boatman's 1/72 HMS Tiger C20 build

[boatman]

AN here in this pic im still getting it ready for glassin as I had to fit in plasticine dams to keep the liguid resin in place an even with all the maskin tape on the outside an plasticne dams the dam stuff still found a way to get out but thankfully I caught it before it went off hard an wiped it away

[boatman]

getting ready to pour more resin into the dams so hull has to be angled as flat as poss

[boatman]

an its succsessfull

[boatman]

more shots as im pleased how it all went starb side

[boatman]

an port side an now they have all got to have any indentations filled an sanded down

[boatman]

[boatman]

Well for me that's the worst an most worrying thing over on the model as anything could have gone wrong but thanks to forward planning on how this was gonna happen it has all worked out ok in a day or so when the resin has really hardened then I will give the motors a run an to free up the grease in the prop tubes

[boatman]

the right way up shots an the prop tubes an sharfts are pretty good not pointing downwards by more than a few degrees which is jus dandy
