Tnarg 1,634 Posted December 22, 2020 Share Posted December 22, 2020 Scaledecks products are so far beyond most of the others out there. I really like the variation in the colors of the planks. Looking good on your ship. Tnarg Link to post Share on other sites
Greif8 1,724 Posted December 23, 2020 Share Posted December 23, 2020 (edited) Very nice Warspite Ron! Here's a bit of trivia, when she was a fairly new ship in WWI she fought with 5th Battle Squadron at the Battle of Jutland and may hit my recent build, the SMS Seydlitz during the battle. Pretty neat we posted our builds within days of each other! Ernest Edited December 23, 2020 by Greif8 Spelling LSP_K2, Kagemusha, mpk and 2 others 5 Link to post Share on other sites
Kagemusha 9,398 Posted December 23, 2020 Share Posted December 23, 2020 Nice start Ron, looks really good. mpk 1 Link to post Share on other sites
The Madhatter 950 Posted December 26, 2020 Share Posted December 26, 2020 Nice paint work so far Ron! You going to go down the rabbit hole that is PE railings etc? The deck looks good to, although you can change the colour if you wanted to with a wash (something I do regularly with these wooden decks - it can make a big difference for the better) Looking forward to the next update mpk 1 Link to post Share on other sites
LSP_Ron 13,989 Posted December 26, 2020 Author Share Posted December 26, 2020 Thanks all, I stopped going down the PE hole on ship builds. I love the look but I get stalled on PE This is a nice kit but I have to admit the sprue gates are starting to drive me a bit nutty with the small parts. There are so many on every small part. The little anti aircraft guns have three sprue gates each so it's a slow go prepping parts. mpk, The Madhatter and LSP_K2 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites
LSP_Ron 13,989 Posted January 3 Author Share Posted January 3 I just spent an hour removing 32 small guns and shields off sprues and gluing the shields on them. Not near as painful as I was expecting. The little shields are almost a snap fit. mpk, Kagemusha and LSP_K2 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites

LSP_Ron 13,989 Posted January 11 Author Share Posted January 11 Slowly starting to get some structures mounted. This sure a project, tons and tons of little tiny parts. LSP_K2, Brett M, The Madhatter and 1 other 4 Link to post Share on other sites
LSP_K2 25,056 Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 I hope you're able to get the superstructure components flush with the deck, Ron. I've seen far too many otherwise nice ship models ruined due to ill fitting parts that don't fit flush. Link to post Share on other sites
D.B. Andrus 4,751 Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 That's a very handsome ship, Ron. LSP_K2 1 Link to post Share on other sites
LSP_Ron 13,989 Posted January 11 Author Share Posted January 11 Thanks, Kev, the structure fits great. No Gaps. It's a nice kit, my only real compliant is the really small parts with too many sprue gate attachments to remove them. We are talking some deck parts that are literally the size of a grain of salt.

Thomas Lund 1,825 Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 Ohhh that looks lovely. I am doing the same kit right now, albeit with a huge PE set... kinda regret that, it looks good but really kills my mojo LSP_K2 1 Link to post Share on other sites
