hey man, happy you found it helpful
The plan for the build at the moment is to begin detailing the sub assemblies with the photo etch set that arrived yesterday so over the next few weeks I will be slowly replacing the plastic molded details for etched parts starting with the guns. Hopefully I'll have some progress photos up very soon


cheers man,



shane.

 

[model maker jnr]

[model maker jnr]

I know exactly what you mean buddy, good etch jobs are almost a shame under paint, I personally hit and miss affair with Photo Etch so this will prove to be a challenge to my patience and etching skills,

I've been detailing the main and secondary armaments so I'll have build photos up very soon, I'm currently charging my camera


cheers,

Shane.

 

[model maker jnr]

Cool can't wait for the pics ;D

 

[longlance67]

cheers buddy, Should have have them up soon once I have enough to show off, took my about an hour and half to get just the main and secondary guns done so its a slow business

 

[model maker jnr]

How many bits of Etch per gun?

 

[longlance67]

How many bits of Etch per gun?

[model maker jnr]

Looking great. Can those guns get any more weathered ;D. How Etch going on the rest of the ship?

 

[longlance67]

Model maker jnr, thanks for the comment mate as always

I haven't done to much other etch work on the ship as yet,as am working on my 28mm Napoleaonic figures for my Black Powder army as a little to prevent a burn out so ill return to Bismarck in the next day or two when I test paint up the turrets

stay tuned


shane.

 

[model maker jnr]

Can't wait.

 

[longlance67]

How's work on your figures coming along?

 

[longlance67]

How's work on your figures coming along?

Hey bud

The figures are coming along nicely they are 28mm Russian Line Infantry and Grenadiers plus a foot artillery for Warlord Game's Black Powder rule set. Have about 130 Russians to paint to get my Regiment ready, Ill probably start a blog for them in the figure section for people to follow

 

[longlance67]

Hey bud,

Just started a new thread on the figure and wargame section for the Russians
