BGB Phase 3 - Things that float

Andy

About three years ago, and it's absolute rubbish, kept only as a reminder. Gloss Blue, liquid mask (rubbish, also, how do you mask the liquid mask?).

Johan

You're absolutely right, it was the first kit I had made in 30 years.

Best of luck, gentlemen. Could I politely ask that you all hate this stage and record such, because the Siren sings.

Cheers

Tim

Call me a div but what does BGB stand for, I've got Group Build bit but I'm missing the first B

"Beginners" Ian,

Either in respect to building a boat/ship, or a total beginner to modelling-or has just come back to the hobby after a long time out,

Not in your class sir.....by some way!!

Cheers,

Andy

You say the nicest things

Ls,

For the impatient ones. Progress!

Quick reminder of this awesome terribly difficult kit. So difficult that is is not much seen on internet

No less then 28 parts.

This is even worse than a plane. Panel lines and bolt detail everywhere. Glued two halves together sealed it with the deck. Small holes and seams to fill. I decided tot glue the small parts first and clean them in situ. Perhaps that prevents breaking the parts. First time I did this hope it works out.

Some pics. The eagle eyed notice that this has nothing to do with scale. The deck railing is 8 cm (3 inch) thick. The wall of the tower is 2 mm thick. That would be 70 cm. (Otto Carius could only dream of that.) It will be submerged allright!

More later.

Cheers,

Johan

Nice start on an ugly looking beast.

Ooooh......Get you vith your proress pics already Mr.Smartie Pants!!!

Nice start Johan,looks like you`ve got some seriously small stuff to put together coming up

Bearing that in mind i thought i`d "Go Large".......But,that brings it own set of problems as i discovered upon opening the box!!........

Moral to the story,as Mr.Gillan once said "There is no easy way"!!
