Ahoy

In anticipation of doing some rigging and starting with the deck flag I broke out the decals very kindly supplied to me by Joe Passaseo (Grauwolf).

Thanks again Joe they are truly beautiful. I literally gotta get this finished for you mate.

Here they are:

Ahoy Sean,

Really looking forward to seeing her finished!

I finally got mine finished and will post some
photos soon.

Cheers,
Joe

Thanks Joe.

I really have to get this finished for my own sanity etc.

Would love to see some shots of your completed effort. I can only imagine at this point how good it is.

Further updates to follow.


Cheers

Ahoy there

This E-Boat of mine often feels truly cursed!

The hull was all sealed up etc. then rattle rattle the kit lenses for three portholes fell loose inside. Got them out but I couldnt glue them back in so I tried just PVA glue no good. The result was too mirky so I tried Microscale Krystal Klear fantastic stuff indeed.

First time I have ever used it.

Problem solved!








Cheers


Sean

Really nice save and she is looing eat too.....Cheers mark

Krystal klear can come in very handy Sean. Looking great there,

Thanks Julian yip I am a big convert of the stuff now!

In hindsight I should have used on all the portholes etc.

Cheers


Sean

Working on my list of things to I reviisted the tarp on the aft deck.

Here are some better quality shots after the tarp has had some more drybrushing Verlinden style:









With confidence building on to rigging the flag and some more rigging.

Well time to tackle the rear deck flag.

Well & truly inspired by Joes P's effort aka Grauwolf on hs E-Boat build it is lierally out with the old and in with the new:









Note: No offence meant by the correct & accurate use of the flag.

With a little growing confidence & momentum building I decided to do the rigging of the bow pole:






Cheers


Sean

My compliments on using the correct flag for "das boot". Its part of history so don't be shy about it

Thanks Julian and real thanks to Joe P for the flag/s.

Next on the long list of tasks is I have the rear deck pole now in place in anticipation of receiving some rigging and a flag



Cheers


Sean

Update - before I start the rigging its time to check the kit supplied rigging points are in place and accounted for.

As you may recall I lost one had had to scratchbuild one:



Cheers


Sean

Looking good Sean, go for it

Ahoy

Thanks Julian.

Update - time to finalize the rear deck - everything is glued in etc. & into its final place:




Cheers

Next on the list to work on is the navigation lights.

Not really very happy how they turned out mmmmm some touch up etc required I believe.







Cheers


Sean

Sean I hope you will send in a build feature on your efforts here, or at the very least a photo feature when it is complete.

Thanks ever so much Darren - happy to put something together once I have got the kit finished - as they say like "a monkey on my back".

Time to finally sort out the anchor and have it firmly attached to the deck:



I am trying a new image site as well for my next update - imgur lets see how it performs!

Cheers


Sean

Ahoy Shipmates


Another update but using a new image sharing site imgur.

Lets see how it goes!

Not sure what others use? Photobucket has just become very cumbersome indeed.

I was brave enough to want to start the rigging.

Decided to start inside out and realised I had no top spa! I think thats what its called.

Gulp!

Hasty look around and found it however of course its not painted.

Oh well its installed now paint to follow post rigging.





Cheers


Sean

Go for it mate and don't regret dumping photobucket. I did the same about a year ago and never looked back. They never ever listened to their customers.................

Thanks Julian.

The imgur site seems pretty useful indeed.

Easy interface and upload.

More updates to follow.

Cheers

Update time.

I am trying to avoid starting the rigging but still trying to get some progress!

Time to get the rear deck flag in place.

The flag itself needs some touching up but I am pleased with it since its really my first ever effort.

Thanks again to Joe for the flag. I am hoping my efforts somehow match your generosity.











Cheers


Sean

Ahoy Sean.
That is looking great.....excellent work.
Just touch up with red paint or marker the
two flag halves edges...had to do it to mine.

Cheers,
Joe

You are getting there Sean, everything looking nice and tight.
