discussion Brian's Caldercraft 1/72 HMS Victory

[Jim R]

Hi, managed to do an hour or so built 15 guns up but still have to rig them most of my time is spent chasing two cockerpoo's there in to everything

Guns look great. Puppies are into everything but so cute you forgive them anything.

Happy joe yes! but there not finished yet they all have to be rigged and these brackets are proving very tricky

 

[Airborne01]

Those capsquares (brackets) are black mate - a chemical dip would have made your job far easier!

The dip is too aggressive there very thin and it damn near melts them going to use a dark gun metal paint I have

 

[Bri62]

Did a bit more today don't know if I'm going to fully rig the deck guns there are only 14 you can see, depends how I feel

[Bri62]

[Bri62]

Been a week so I thought I better get back to it and decided this is going to be a long job.

[minitnkr]

[Richard48]

Ouch little Hooli pups

 

[Bri62]

Yep there little terrors

 

[Bri62]

Got to admit guys I'm really struggling with the rigging its so damn fiddley so will probably take a while and I'm only going to do 14, 7 each side that are visible.

 

[Jim R]

Fiddly but has to be done.

 

[scottie3158]

Fiddly or not they look fantastic mate.
