Wow! You're doing some awesome work.

[kpnuts]

hi all more PE done sorry for the glacially slow progress but I don't get much modelling time these days.

[kpnuts]

Hi all loads still to add to this part, slow going but I do feel I'm getting there









I will admit due to my abysmally poor modelling skills I've missed some pe out, as a bit of fun can you spot out the bits I've missed out.

I think PE is pretty much beyond my ability now so I can't see me buying any more.

[kpnuts]

Hi all here is the next update,
This sub assy is finished (well as much as I'm prepared to do) I like the unpainted brass standing out against the weathered painted parts, i just wish I had the skills to use all the PE (although to be honest I don't think you would notice the bits I've left out)

[kpnuts]

Hi all here is the crane from the kit.



And here it is after the PE











Does anyone know did these cranes have windows in the top (I mean I don't think they stood out on those railings to hoist the ships boats on board) I can't find photos of the cranes details, I would think it would be a fairly simple job to add them if they were there.

Here is the next sub assy I'm going to attack





The eduard PE comes with PE Oerlikons but I like the kit ones



One of the reasons is the barrels on the kit parts are round also the PE parts are too thin.

I'm adding some of the PE to the kit Oerlikons to make them more realistic (I could add more PE to it but it's soooooooooooooooooòoo small I've left it off)( of course a lot of modellers would be able to add it but I don't have the skills)

[kpnuts]

Hi all well I finally got some modelling time (Its a rare thing these days)

[fordrodnkustom]

Outstanding detail KP! Look like another museum quality build from your bench!

[kpnuts]

Thanks for the compliment mate.
Proof I've not given up on this.

Here is one of the four pom poms on the next part (they just take so long)



Here are the unfolded magazine casings for the rest of them 



Here they are folded



Now I just have to cut the magazine's themselves and bend them then fit them, oh and then cut out and bend the body's, then cut off the magazine's off the plastic parts, oh then bend the cages for the magazines.

I really don't think I will do PE pompoms again.

I saw somewhere where someone makes resin and PE pompoms for 1/700 scale ships that have 100+ parts, including metal barrels. Whoever undertakes those is either a hero or totally insane, or maybe a masochist.

It's really amazing how much the PE dresses up this kit.

[kpnuts]

Hi all teeny tiny bit more done 

[TooOld]

Incredible detailing ! I can't imagine working with that much PE , glad it's you and not me !

[kpnuts]

Hi all nearing the end now ( I say that hopefully) 

As is now





With all the PE on the decks

[kpnuts]

Hi all, well apart from the Oerlikons all the deck furniture is done, i think, hope?

So much patience...
