boatman's 1/72 HMS Tiger C20 build

[boatman]

I know how you feel. Sometimes w/long complex projects they seem to just crawl along. Yours however is looking very good. PaulE

HI PaulE nice to see you an yes my tiger build is like your rail road build a long drawn out affair but lets face it I think that for you an me that's the challenge of the build as if our builds were finished in a few days we'd be wondering what to do nxt an you like me PaulE RELISH some complex builds as when I read your posts on your railroad it comes out that you are enjoyin yourself as the same with me we are gluttens for a long build an you keep on buildin that rail way as im enjoyin lookin at it an studyin the layout to me it is very intresting

HI ALL update time again on what ive been slavein away on her lol
well though id fit some W/T doors on as its been a job to remember how I did it on my other models anyway a small hinge an the W/T door sizes compared to my finger for scale

[boatman]

here the door is fitted

[boatman]

an it open ok

[Mini Me]

Nice!!!!!!

[boatman]

an on the other side boat deck cabin there are two W/T doors

[boatman]

Nice!!!!!!

cheers Rick :thumb2:

[boatman]

AN the reason two W/T doors so close togeather is that there are two compartments an I hav'nt yet fitted a top deck on these yet is that I want to fit lights an some detail in side but that will come later here they are only half open so the 4panels can be seen

[boatman]

an fully opened an later i will fit a very thin bit of plasticard over the door on the inside to cover the hinge or i will just sand down an paint them

[boatman]

an closed agian

[boatman]

AN now back to them bridges eletrics ive fitted in main feed wires little whites one that will soon be connected to the super main feed from 01 deck
