The PE does look to be a royal pain in the behind but it ends up looking fabulous, definitely worth the effort.

Hi all, well I seem to have so little time for modelling these days, i would have done double this in a day a yr ago, it's annoying how little time I get for modelling these days.

Lordy thats a lot of small detail. And as for the time thing, I feel your pain, brother. All we can do is soldier on when we can (and try to manipulate the world into giving us more time, lol).

Very nice handiwork with the PE. I know what a pain it can be.

Lovely work.

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

Cool !
That deck is sure getting busy !
Nice work.

It looks fantastic!

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.

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)

Nice work. That is a considerable amount of PE.

Looking good KP

Wow, that is a lot of PE. I looks fantastic.

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.

The PE part is a VAST improvement on the kit Crane. I can't see any windows.

Crane is looking quite nice.

Thanks for the ref pics mate.

Super cool !
Massive amount of teeny weenie detail !!

Superb work with the crane! Years ago I used to wonder at the whole PE thing ... that is until I started seeing finished results. Definitely worth the effort, the added detail is so superior to the kit moulded part.

My pleasure.

Wow you sue have added some teeny tiny PE bit on this build. It all looks fantastic well done.

Hi all sorry not posted for ages but had problems loging in (kept getting messages that site was down) anyway i finally got the pompoms done on this part (get less and less modelling time these days) hopefully will not have problems loging in any more.

Nice to have you back on line Ken.
You've been busy with this one.
