Had a fine time adding the Admirals walk. Not too happy, too many Ca marks.

Looks fine to me.

[BattleshipBob]

The admiral would be proud to walk on that Bob. Nice one.

Thank you Tim, just hope he's not a fat ba****d lol

Bob

Coming on nicely, although I can't help noticing the middle picture is a bit blurry! Not having phone problems again?!?!? :smiling5:

Seriously though that really is looking very good indeed.

Brian

Thank Brian

Looks good Bob

Cheers Mark

Do not look to close lol, thanks Jim

Looks good Bob. Two possible fixes
For them CA splatter things (that I can't see by the way) small flat marks a glassfibre pencil can take care of those. Another good tool to have is
A bottle of de-bonder and not just for unsticking fingers. A small flat brush xan be used to wash unwanted ca off.

Can only second the de-bonder.... Seen it used many times and used it a couple of times myself!

Yes Bob the debonder is great, I use it on a cotton bud and dab it on the area . Like Andrew I've also used it to unstick my finger ( No laughing at the back ) from the cutting mat !
That pe looks very smart , certainly brings it to life .

Some mighty fine braille work there Bobster.....
..... Looks excellent

[Guest]

Hello Bob,
Just caught up on your build. I use an old scalpel blade to run c/a around the joins, first I touch a bit to hold the etch and if happy then get to work running the c/a into the joint. Clean up is with my own sanders made from thick plasticard, double sided tape and wet'n'dry of choice... Hope this helps... Mike.

I think I've seen Night Shift use it

Right, bit more pe, made two of these, happy with these simple constructions

There are folded to make a box type structure and are mounted on both sides of the rear hull by the Admirals walk. Inside you fit what looks like 4 balloons tide together. Been racking my tiny brain as to what it's for. I assume a rope or chain could be pulled to open the bottom of the cage and release it, but what is it??

Early life raft, form of paravine? I have the set of Burt's excellent battleship books and no mention of it and nothing on the drawings??

However found this picture, this is a screenshot of Amagemenon

Looks more like a cross with floats at each end??

Could be something to do with hanging or recovering the anti torpedo nets Bob? Have you got any rear shots of the ship with the nets deployed?
