You're not ruffling anyone's feathers here. :) <br /><br />There is quite a large bunch of us posting our builds over at the Partworks Model Forum, where Colin posts also under the forum handle "zeptrader". Mine is under my handle here, Jinnai.<br /><br />Here is the link to all the build diaries.<br />http://www.partworkmodels.co.uk/phpBB3/viewforum.php?f=94<br /><br />Make sure you have a cup of tea or coffee ready, there's loads of information there to take in and can take quite a while to read through! :)<br /><br />Cheers, Logan.jinnaihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00018264884742644480noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1633198192345256711.post-19421483724351636662012-08-10T16:44:06.082+01:002012-08-10T16:44:06.082+01:00Hi Jinnai,

I'm sure you've seen my build of the Hood around, as I've noticed you comment previously about other builds and their images.<br /><br />Feel free to show us yours please!<br /><br />And again Colin, you don't need to change how you do your updates, I still quite enjoy the way they are. :)<br /><br />Looking forward to your use of your metal gun barrels to replace the pathetic plastic offerings!jinnaihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00018264884742644480noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1633198192345256711.post-25670392130920617062012-08-05T16:54:13.267+01:002012-08-05T16:54:13.267+01:00Hi Colin,

As always a great and informative posting, but I think I may ask you too many questions so I’ll ease off a bit.<br /><br />As for the critics of your “ 4 pic “ postings as I said before I think they are fine, now I wouldn’t want to teach my grandma to “suck eggs” but if I want to take a closer look at your pics I just press and hold “ctrl“ on my keyboard then tap on the “ + “ key to increase the size of the image and then “ - “ key to decrease the size of image, the more taps the larger the image and vice versa, frankly if that’s not close enough how have they managed to get as far as they have ? :)<br /><br />Not poking fun guy’s, just (hopefully) a piece of advice.<br /><br />Catch you later,<br />Mob.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1633198192345256711.post-21136273798998900492012-07-31T21:28:06.497+01:002012-07-31T21:28:06.497+01:00Hi Colin

But I must say you have been an inspiration to me and am guessing to all other builders that are following your build.<br />I agree the railings are a bit strange and when I get to this stage I wont be using thes at all. I have built a few models mainly Billings Boats and they supply various Rail Stanchion which I will use with some .5m copper wire and if done properly it looks great. Cant wait to get to the stage your at but I guess being so far down under thigs are slow. <br /><br />Cheers <br /><br />ErrolAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02453763015146752021noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1633198192345256711.post-1778430498498459442012-07-31T17:30:34.272+01:002012-07-31T17:30:34.272+01:00Hi Russ, I decided not to use the aerosol and real...Hi Russ, I decided not to use the aerosol and really wanted to get some airbrush time under my belt, hence going for the Halfords tined primmer.

I've used it for years although generally on armoured vehicles but quite a few ship modellers use it so i tried and been using it ever since (long time now).<br /><br />RussAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05471905964587532716noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1633198192345256711.post-52087450537676365212012-07-31T06:25:33.354+01:002012-07-31T06:25:33.354+01:00A dremmel attachment..I'll take a picture of w...A dremmel attachment..I'll take a picture of what I do with the brass work on my next update.<br /><br />Cheers<br />ColinGuitar Schoolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00099195525848960856noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1633198192345256711.post-86269195768812845582012-07-31T06:23:26.330+01:002012-07-31T06:23:26.330+01:00Hi Logan, I think taking time to drill out the por...Hi Logan, I think taking time to drill out the portholes are well worth the effort as the effect is so much better.

I was looking at your blog again over the weekend while I've been laying down my brass work.<br /><br />I noticed the same issue with part 183 when I was test fitting the ply, and have done the same steps as you, but I haven't taken any photos of it. (My update isn't done yet, won't do it until I finish all my gluing and cleaning up.. hopefully by the weekend).<br /><br />The only criticism I have is that I miss your larger photos! I don't enjoy your "four small pics in one" as it doesn't show as much as what your older pictures do! :p But it's your build, your update, and I will just sit back and still admire what you're doing, hoping the entire time mine looks half as good as yours! :)<br /><br />Cheers,<br />Loganjinnaihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00018264884742644480noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1633198192345256711.post-17394741480694511762012-07-30T22:17:59.747+01:002012-07-30T22:17:59.747+01:00Hi Russ, are you talking about the primer in the t...Hi Russ, are you talking about the primer in the tin rather than from the can? what did you use to thin it down?

I was a little surprised by your comment on Halfords primer; i use it on 1/350 p/e without any snags. with the cleaning i generally just wash in mild detergent and rinse with fresh water then pat dry with a linen tea towel/air dry.<br /><br />Regards<br /><br />RussAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05471905964587532716noreply@blogger.com
