discussion boatman's 1/72 HMS Tiger C20 build

[boatman]

an ive still got plenty of them plugs an sockects so if some do get hot an melt with the power goin through them it will be a simple matter of replaceing them but i dont think this will happen at all but better to have some spares is'nt it so thats them all done except for testing them

 

[boatman]

SO after testing them wires as i think they should all be ok so what next well as far as my ole grey matter can think ahead it will be build two of these in the pic below an i'll exsplain what they will do when i have built them

Actually being picky, it's 98% rounded to the nearest whole number.... But that's being very picky, especially when 98% would likely be my failure rate!! :tired:

In ALL seriousness Chris, very, very well done indeed, it must be a real weight of your mind.

HI Andrew ok 98% but im pleased on that wireing just got to hope i done get any more fail as i found the wire that wont work as i removed the plug from the hull as i thought that if the wire is on the top or bottom row i can repair it but sods law has struck as its a wire right in the centre row of pins on the plug an if i try an open up the top an bottom wires knowin my luck i'll proberly do more damage an brake more wires as its thses rainbow ribbon wires as they only have about 4 strands of soft copper wire an they brake off easy so ive refitted the plug in the hull an jen an i did another load of wire testing again an they all now seem ok but if any more fail then i shall take them all out an replace the rainbow ribbon wire with them grey wires that i fitted in the front as they have been no trouble so see how we go on that
CHEERS for you post Andrew
