Cheers Martin Thanks Martinnfb. very kind words. as you know my first hand to hand experiance with a ship, this scale...oh well the rest,not to mention all that PE, im very glad you like my adventure Mals Way...hmmm more like Mals Obsession 😆 soon. But must admit this build sure pushed me indeed in many aspects. but hey, more aces in the sleve when back in 1:32 that im looking forward to, yep Mals Way and helluva time saga. and last, gained huge respect for ship modellers what good modellers can do.

When I was killing my eyes working on the (scratchbuilt) capstan of a 1/600 RMS Mauretania, I decided I had to stop the insanity ! So, now, I just add teeny weeny details to 1/32 aircrafts 😂 Hubert Edited April 26 by Hubert Boillot Javlin1 and Mal_Belford 2
Mal_Belford Posted April 26 Author Posted April 26 (edited) Seen builds 1:700 with PE, geez thats small.... But now when 3D printers are improving fast, each newer generation, details and all that, lesser building more painting then i think in the future, risk of takin the joy of doin things by own hand...detailing/scratch/repair. Yes the 3D prints are very highly detailed and will be superior imo in the future. Only on thing botheres me with 3D printed part is the layers, and can not really be primed away compared to injection/resin cast that are smoother finnishes....but that will also be when the layers becoming even smaller (higher resolution). Got a 3D printed engine for my Arado, ill compare it with the kits own when building that one, and yes ill share it here on LSP when its coming closer. Edited April 26 by Mal_Belford
Mal_Belford Posted April 26 Author Posted April 26 Little more done this evening. Dryfitting them lifeboat davit. and more PE in place. Shoggz, LSP_Kevin, LSP_Ray and 2 others 5
Mal_Belford Posted April 26 Author Posted April 26 Also, if want a floatplane on the deck, well need to start building that one soon, as more and more parts coming in place, lol painting aircraft in 1:350 lol thats something new haha...
Mal_Belford Posted April 27 Author Posted April 27 Allright, more parts and PE, never ending 😁.... Alex, LSP_Kevin, Shoggz and 4 others 7
Mal_Belford Posted April 27 Author Posted April 27 Hmmmm, things do pop up in my mind. scratchin my head little.... The platform, lower hull, there will be a railing, hmmm, white or orange....White sure pops out, but orange weirdly feels as it should be....i mean, why change color when painting there in real world. got to sleep on that matter 🤪
Mal_Belford Posted April 27 Author Posted April 27 Yep...no sleep needed. Realized that the railing are slack between em poles, so rope i guess ...therefore paint em ropes whiteish And poles orange...hmmm. not sure here a bit ambivalent, ill figure something out
Mal_Belford Posted April 28 Author Posted April 28 Little more done, lifeboats in place, and no damaged railings, nothing, as really didnt want to do any redoings at this stage had to maneuver very gently, and the real fiddly part were to get the supporting struts under two of them bigger boats.....geez. Well this birds nest of mine looks like getting closer to the end lol. No more holes on the decks as all id occupied with parts, now next, streetlamps on the deck, nah deal with that tomorrow lol. And a small reminder how small this model is for me. LSP_Ray, Sparzanza, patricksparks and 4 others 7
Mal_Belford Posted April 28 Author Posted April 28 (edited) Forgot to ad... Im not a slave under the manual suggestion in things, if in for manual, many of em stairs would be brown all over, and many other things during this build. and firstimer on ships, na ill override the manual in colors LoL it got to look cool in the glass cabinet.... Manuals suggestion. Mals Way .. Edited April 28 by Mal_Belford LSP_Ray, TankBuster, patricksparks and 1 other 4
LSP_Kevin Posted April 28 Posted April 28 That's coming along very nicely indeed, Mal! Kev Mal_Belford 1

Kev Thanks Kev, sure need it. things ahead awaits, first timer there aswell, rigging...😁... rigging an antenna wire really dont count here yaikes among many other things. sure been a crash course for me in scale modelling here in ship modelling 😄....complete noob in this area.. Feelin like this...😆 Edited April 28 by Mal_Belford Shoggz and LSP_Kevin 1 1
Mal_Belford Posted April 29 Author Posted April 29 More fiddly parts in place.. TankBuster, Hubert Boillot, Shoggz and 3 others 6
