Building the Special Hobby 1/72 Boston III - the kit that won't leave...

[jgrease]

I've recorded my trials and tribulations with the Special Hobby Boston IIIa in 1/72. This kit lingered on my bench for way too long, and this was my attempt at getting it done:

 

Get Off My Bench!

 

Please let me know what you think!

Turned out not bad at all. I gave up on 72nd scale for the most part, there are some I still want to do. I did mostly 48th, but migrated to 32nd and 24th for the eyesight and twitching fingers reason.

Great result on the Boston.     It must be very satisfying to clear a real "shelf-sitter", I must try it sometime.

Yes, that's exactly what I did; then I found the parts can be just as small, they simply represent even smaller details.

This was the first kit in this scale I had tried in years due to gathering everything at minimal cost. Much regret...

Thanks much! Unfortunately that was the case here - tiny parts I couldn't grip with tweezers to save myself.
