Not exactly a pretty beast was it?

Look forward to seeing more of the build.

I hope my next is always better

Kiteman

Lots of bits to break off there Zak...be carefull my friend.

zak

Yes, it is quite delicate, some nice detail underneath as well.
It is a really nice kit, fit of parts is excellent.

I have been slightly side tracked into something a little different.
Still WW1 and so I will post here about it.
I bought a 1:600 scale Airfix ship, the RMS Mauretania, these have been re-released and contain decals, sorry transfers for a hospital ship version from The Great War, so I thought why not, I need to try to build something for the maritime competition anyway.
The kit has 1964 stamped all over it, it is not brilliant so maybe it was a bad choice.
I am attempting to make my own railings, with only a modicum of success.
This will have to be a test bed, it is not up to Haddock standard.
The railings are from very fine wire and stretched sprue.
I am finding this really difficult and it may end up in the bin!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Those railing look a little drunk, my eyes are like - well I am sure you can guess, something to do with sand and holes.

Any-one who attempts to scratch-build rails in that scale deserves great respect, or they need their bumps feeling.

I found making my own railings a challenge to say the least.
Transfers still to be applied.
Here it is, it is ok from a distance but do not get too close.
Still thinking about rigging.
It is all a bit small!
