After many years I can say finally one thing is finished on my E-Boat

My dinghy is completed with of course wooden paddles.












Cheers


Sean

Hi Sean, great to see this is back underway! Looking good....

Ahoy shipmates

Thanks Sean much appreciated.

Decided to some work on the "wheelhouse" and to glue it together permanently.









Cheers


Sean

She is looking great. Love to see the final Pics of her in all her glory.....Cheers mark

Ahoy Shipmates

Thanks for the feedback Mark.

Well I battled repairing the damage and decided to place a tarpaulin over the damage - plus adds a little life/colour.

The idea is that the heavy wet tarpaulin from the gun has been folded and placed there.

Never done a flag before so here is my practice efforts before I attack Joes kindly donated flags.

I used stretched sprue for the rigging and white glue and water to stiffen the flag up.











Cheers


Sean

Hello Sean, Shouldn't that flag have a swastika in the center, not a Maltese cross? I know the white WW1 German ensign had the cross, but I think that was all changed when the Nazis came to power. Al

Looking very good Sean.

Hi Guys


Al - you are correctand Joe has kindly supplied me with the correct ones. This is just "practice"


Kenny - thanks ever so much my friend. I hope that Cyclone treats you ok.

Undaunted by new challenges I am trying stretched sprue method for my rigging.

Here is my first trial attempt/s.

Sean

Still trying to master using sprue for the rigging

Well after a very very looooooong time away from the modelling bench there has been a flurry of activity. To be honest mainly blowing a lot of dust away!

Here are my painted ladders and some stretched sprue as rigging:









Cheers



Sean

Ahoy Sean!

Glad to see you're back in the shipyard!
I see she is coming along just fine.
I finally finished mine, have yet to
post some photos and yes those stanchions
are a real challenge.
Looking forward to seeing more progress.
Have a great one and
Happy modeling!
Cheers,
Joe

Hi Sean, what happened? Are we going to have to wait another year for next update?

Ahoy Sean,

After yet another extended modelling hiatus I have this E-Boat back on the workbench.

To be honest my building mojo has slipped but not my interest. Unexplainable really.

Here is what I got as a storage solution:







Cheers


Sean

Storage solution? Forget the mojo and just get stuck in and finish it.....

All good Sean.

I have some more updates but had a hard drive failure on the home pc.

All fixed now another update coming.


Cheers


Sean

Ahoy Shipmates
