Very delicate work Dave.

Some small progress trying to assemble the glazing. Very fiddly with three vacformed parts getting to fit together and attach to the fuselage.

Meanwhile the torture continues.

The Liberty ship is now rigged.

A great finish on the primer Kevin.

Quote from: cph64 on November 01, 2025, 06:09:07 PMHaddock gave me a couple of tips when working with etch brass, 1) put a thin coat of Klear where it's going then when dry put a dab on the part you want to fit and bring the two together. Once all dry then touch up with CA. 2) cut the tip off the eye end of a needle to form a prong to take the CA. Needless to say I haven't mastered either yet!!! I like the tip about placing the needle in an old brish handle and like you I use an angled cocktail stick for placing little parts. Great work so far.

He gave me the same tips, but he was very slow and ponderous, I have sort of developed my own technique.

Well you do seem to model at high speed.

What do you mean 'at times' - it's all fiddly.

Patience grasshopper!
