I have decided to revive this thread so I have decided to strip to a bare Hull and repaint.

 

[Andy the Sheep]

More than a reviving process it looks like an open-heart surgery.
As your decision allowed me to enjoy your build, thank you very much. :thumb2:

Just been having a go refurbishing the cannon's
The before is on the right and after on the left.

I will follow along.

 

[peterairfix]

I have been working on the decks I have stripped the main deck for masking and repainting the lower deck has already been done so it's the before and after.
And after.
And I have given the stern a repaint and once again it's the before and after.

Oh dear...another USS Constipation. :smiling6: Funny how these get revived. Mine is put on hold till I get some of my dioramas sorted out. The revisions look good Peter.

Cheers,

This was started before the influx of new members from the defunct MM forum and so reviving the build gives all those modellers a chance to enjoy your work. A lot of work for you Peter but I'm sure the result will be an impressive model. The work already shows improvement.

 

[peterairfix]

Now it's time to start repainting and reassembly all the cannons are painted and in place along with the rear cabin

 

[peterairfix]

Finally got the top deck in place and started replacing the deck furniture.

 

[rtfoe]

Some of these details are missing in my Imai Constipation like the stove pipe.

Cheers,

Looking good, going back together nicely.

 

[peterairfix]

I am finally back to where I started everything painted and looking fresh so it's now on the rest of the build there are a few things missing I will either try and bodge build (sorry scratch) them or just leave them out.

 

[Jim R]

Very good progress Pete. Very neat and tidy work. Should be more interesting for you now the refurbishment stage is over.

 

[peterairfix]

Finally got round to adding to the build.
I won't be add the cannon lids until the end of the build.

[Mini Me]
