Ok...

Did not like the build manuals suggestion to paint em shelfs where lanterns is supposed to be placed on....nope its Mals Way or the Highway here.....no whining here, were grownups, so do domething about this....

 

Took clear sprue, heated it up, yes old school to create needed material for this, painted em with transparent color, let it dry, then UV resin, yep the shape of american football, trim of excess sprueline, glued in place used Vallejo clear, and when dry, couple of white on the top of the laterns, created lids on top...

Oki Doki, Mals Obsession continues 😁.

 

That streetlamp that will be on the deck, nothing wrong with PE, but this, hey way to flat, way way to flat, that one fits on a mini shadow theatre show 😆....ans i want that 3d instead of 2d lol.

 

Nope, so decided to do a new one, So scratch new one then,  guitarstring, thin heated plastic, piece of alu pipe thats been gently shaped in to a cone, and voila,.

 

Hey, Way better, this will do just fine for me

 

 

It will be located at the edge somewhere here, but need to attach the cranes and lifeboats first, dryfitting them before even considering drilling a hole on the deck

 

 

And geez its small, just a comparison with my finger...

That streetlight is amazing - especially when you see the size compared to your finger!

Phenomenal work, Mal ( and a daily reminder of the reasons why I have given up trying to build 1/350 ships  )
