discussion Brian's 1/200 HMS Hood

Looking good.
If I may, those 4x Vickers machine guns. Its about those 'micky mouse ears' If you bend the long thin bit down about 90-100 degrees then bend the round bit at the end down your gunners will have better sights for shooting those pesky German spotterplanes down.

Yeah I know but was worried they will snap off, one is already hanging by a thread i'll sort something

Sorted they all snapped off lol

Looking very crisp Brian. As for you saying it’s getting fiddly…..I think that happened several pages ago

 

[Bri62]

Guys what thickness EZ Line for 1/200 ships ?

 

[Ian M]

For the sake of your sanity I would suggest the medium. In scale you would want extra fine but... 1, you cant see it. 2, almost impossible to work with.
