Hi Chris
I have spent hrs and more hrs getting to this stage. I found a hr a day just about keeps me sane lol. Have made sure the window is locked lol
Thanks sir very true with these old Tamiya kits. Lovely to build but no real detail, so pe really does help!
Hi Scottie, now next up is the mast, not good!Awww come on Bob your just showing off now
So the mast, not really happy the platform the railings are terrible
Very difficult to bend. Problem was trying to hold the platform while bending the railings and gluing. Sadly don't have three hands.
So tried a new way, left the platform attached to the fret and just carefully cut off the railing attachments. This way I didn't have to hold or stop the platform from moving. Much better.

I think you are doing a great job with the PE. I find it fiddly in 1/35 or 1/48 but at the 1/350 scale! Good on you sir.
Your last photo is AWAL I am afraid.

For some reason known only to me, I started the main cranes virtually straightaway, then put them incomplete to one side?? Nuts!
So the pe is not great but added some very fine thread to try to replicate some of the cables, not much room for a lot of cables, used resin and UV torch, not too bad. Set ok and unlike ca the resin didn't frazzle the thread, so will use from now on.
Finally getting close to finish the pe! Have de dusted the painting room ready.
