The Falklands War 1982

That'll keep you out of trouble. Should look amazing once done.

So hull sanded flat and the holes/bad moulded bits filled.
Lots of nicely moulded resin bits. Perhaps I will reserve judgement, the first bit I am working on is slightly out of register.
Lots of etched brass to deal with.

[Bigkev]

A great deal of work to keep you out of trouble!
Will look impressive with HMS Invincible alongside

The whole South Atlantic fleet is taking shape.
Great work Dave. I'm always amazed at the detail you get into this scale.

Well, almost 3 hours later and this etched brass is very nice but tiny, I may have to miss off some of the really small bits!!
Madness or what.
I am off for a lie down in a darkened room now.

[zak]

More brass work, slow going,

Etched brass heaven or is it hell?
Good job I got some new tweezers!

Great work so far with the etched brass. I'm at the point with the Sea Vixen wingfold etch where I also need to lie down in a dark room!!!!

[chriswil42]

The detail is fantastic.

[zak]

This is starting to get to me, very very fiddly and I think I may have some parts the wrong way round.
Absolute minefield.

[zak]

A little more done, I am not putting the wipers on the bridge windows, they are smaller than small!!!!!!

[Bigkev]

That level of detail is extraordinary. You must have the patience of a saint to tackle all that etch brass.
Well done.

[chriswil42]

Yes the etched brass work is indeed amazing.  Keep going Dave.

[cph64]

Fantastic work, well done.

Sea now added to Endurance and Invincible.
