Hey guys, sorry I haven't been posting. Everything is crazy around here. Between work, Gator's and family, the work bench has been neglected. It thinks I died. But good news is I'll be back at it this weekend! I'm making some samples for the next contest where I'll be a vendor. I've got the F-14A Ferris camo scheme and I'll be attempting it. I'll work in the Monitor while paint or glue dries on the Tomcat.

Hi Mark

Update Admiral Schee

Sorry for no recent updates however I found the non availability of this site and then the non availability of the photo gallery for such an extended period very disappointing and frustrating especially as I do server rebuilds and data swaps etc day in day out as part of my job. I just could not work out what the real issue/s/delays are/were.

Anyhow the site is functioning ambit without out all its previous functionality and features.

I had for a brief period been looking for inspiration away from this site.

However I am back.

I have been working away on the Admitral Schee however I have lost focus in the last week or so but the hull is sorted the decks as is one superstructure and the guns etc so I am progressing. Back on track this weekend/week.

Regards

Sean

If you glue on 4 brass ladders, tear them off cause they're in the wrong place and put on 4 new ones, does that count as progress????????

Hi Mark

Update Admiral Schee

As promised I got a few hours in on the project yesterday made some good progress except I lost one of the tiny superstructure gun batteries. I certainly take my hat of to you guys who work in this scale all the time. I have scratchbuilt a replacement for the lost part it will look ok from a distance I think/hope.

Currently working on funnel and deck superstructure.

Aiming to keep momentum going this week by plugging away each day.

Mark I ain't sweating big time and or ladyin over the site and server upgrades it seems to almost have resolved itself just a slightly frustrating extended period thats all.

Regards

"if you're not making mistakes, then you're not doing any work"...makes sense to me, how about you? Just keep modeling, mate!

Considering the number of mistakes I'm making, I'm the hardest working guy around here. :-)

The Nelson will go down as a learing experience. If it looks any better than that, a miracle will have happened.
If I finish her, she will be:
My 1st British warship.
My 1st surface combatant in 30 years (I finished a sub in 03).
The largest amount of scratch building I've ever done on a model.
The most amount of PE I've ever purchased and used on a model.

Thanks guys, I'm trying. I'll ask some questions in another thread.

HI Mark

I do not have a digital cmera yet but I can borrow one I will get a little more progress done this week and get some pictures loaded up.

Hi Mark

I love this new forum format.

My first post here.

Steaming away on progress.

I did not get a camera in the weekend but I am on the definite homestraight I should have construction finished this week then its painting.

I will get pictures done prior to painting.

I put all the subassemblies together and the kit looks good I am pleased ths far overall.

But boy I respect those that model in 1/700 all the time I find the small parts a real challenge.

I think I will stick to 1/350 and 1/72 Ships Subs for the immdiate future.

Regards

Sean

quick question... do we post our finished work here or in the armorama campaign gallery? Franks a little lost ( a bit of third person talk...)

Hi guys,

as you probably have noticed, I have been missing in action for a while. The simple explanation is studies. Though strictly speaking I could not join (I started to build the King George V pre-1944 fit too early), I was hoping to keep up with you.


So just to let you know that I have not fallen of the face of the earth. And that I still think of you guys...
