Nice to see this back. Hope Julie goes on ok with her meds.
The rigging is looking good. That UV cured glue sounds very useful. 3D printed stuff is amazing.

Evening Jim, Julie's ok at the moment thanks.

Impressed with resin and UV, much better than CA as it doesn't set until you use a UV light

Impressive work Bob

I’ve dabbled with some 3D printed kits and parts and it still blows my mind !!

I’ve just had a long look through this build, and I thought I had lots or PE to do on my Ark Royal build.
You’ve done a fantastic job with yours, the Tirpitz is looking fantastic.

Hi Si, many thanks! I have just removed the single barrelled 20mm guns and the directors for light AA, Night control and search lights. They are small but include the seat for the operator, not just a bit of resin but a detailed seat and clear to see binoculars! The 20mm even has the perforations in the spent cartridge bag, unbelievable detail, how on earth i ask myself.

The AA vierling, 6 in box, cost me £12 with free P & P last yr, today £17 plus £7 P & P!! So if you buy all the AA stuff inc the kit it's over £120 odd, add on PE, wood deck etc its very expensive.



Tomorrow after getting more paracetamol and locking the window I'll try to attach the superb 20mm gun into the cradle. Off too pray lol

Very kind sir, the whole idea is a lot to do, practice build! So the full PE set, metal barrels, wood deck and 3D. Slowly sorting out the faults. I have some very nice and detailed kits, so fun and games ahead lol.

To be fair your PE is roughly half the size, you are in my prayers lol.
