Iain Posted August 31, 2015 Author Share Posted August 31, 2015 In shock news - I've spent some time on Soya - another 10 hours over the weekend - getting there!Taking a break and doing something that involves less eye-strain!Iain Girlscanplay2 and Hubert Boillot 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 I was wondering where this had gone. Iain, just plane nice !.........Harv Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hubert Boillot Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 Nice one, Iain. I'm with you about eye-straining. This is the reason why I have given up ship models in any scale smaller than 1/200 : the break point for me was working on the windlass and capstans of a 1/600 Mauretania ...

Iain Posted January 2, 2017 Author Share Posted January 2, 2017 Unfortunately the previous images are down for now whilst I sort a new home for them (since I took the 'skywriters.net' 32SIG site down). However - needing a break from aeroplanes - and with some new nautical stuff having arrived that I'd like to crack on with - I've decided to get this one done and dusted. So - a little more progress (and 10p coin for a sense of scale - really is a tiny model): Have fun! Iain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dutik Posted January 2, 2017 Share Posted January 2, 2017 (edited) The same old story - winter has come, time to look for a icebreaker... Happy modelling! - dutik Edited January 2, 2017 by dutik Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Martinnfb Posted January 2, 2017 Share Posted January 2, 2017 fantastic work Iain, one day I have to build a ginormous Russian icebreaker too. Must Be Nuclear though ! Cheers M. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iain Posted February 12, 2017 Author Share Posted February 12, 2017 I've been brave at last and added some of the very fiddly photo-etched railings, along with the netting around the heli-pad on the stern. Bit of a learning curve - and had to be in the right frame of mind - although not perfect I'm looking at this project as a learning piece in preparation for some other nautical subjects I have stashed away. Components glued in place with PVA as that's very forgiving and allows for careful positioning. The helipad netting was bonded with superglue in key locations - with a little PVA elsewhere once in the correct position. Off to play with something a little bigger now - my eyes need a rest! Have fun... Iain Lars Befring and Hubert Boillot 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClumsyDude Posted February 12, 2017 Share Posted February 12, 2017 Looks good Iain. What are your other nautical subjects? Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iain Posted February 12, 2017 Author Share Posted February 12, 2017 Thanks Jim - I have a part started 1:350 HMS Hood with the Lion Roar, White Ensign sets and Pontos deck, a 1:350 HMS Dreadnaught with the Pontos Set and a 1:200 HMS Hood that's waiting on the release of the new mega Pontos set (this one *may* be next). Also have 1:350 USS Nimitz and HMS Illustrious - but they are some way in the future - perhaps... A really nice change of pace from aeroplanes - and lots of family connections with the sea. Mustn't buy any more though!! Iain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
