"It's as done as it's going to get"

So says I as I pull the x-acto knife out of either the wall or my hand (I can't remember which) for the umpteenth time and glare at the rubble on my desk out of which rises the mishappen form of a Maly Modelarz Piotr Z Gdanska. Or at least that's what it's meant to be.

I am very sorry to announce that I failed to complete my punishment and now must face the comfy chair. Piotr would have sailed straight into the wastebasket accept that, despite the number of curses aimed in it's direction I have become rather fond of it. Maybe I'll cut it at the waterline and cannabilize another kit to finish it. But for now I return to my tiny, patient plastic kits that fit together like a dream and don't require me to end up with glue all over my hands...and shirt...and pants...

As a proof of my failure, a submit these photos of the monster I created...











This build reminded me of two things: why I build SLOWLY and why I build WATERLINE!

cjwalas: The fit on the upper decks is good, the fit on the lower hull is ok to awful. Unless you read polish your probably doomed. No 3d diagrams in the instructions. Good luck.

That's too bad - looks like it'd be a very cool model if it came together right.

Hopefully you had fun trying

Yeah, it was fun. The kit needs work, but with modfication it would be very cool. Like I said, the upper hull is salvagable and is the best part of the kit. The masts would need to be scratched out of wood or plastic and the lower hull removed or replaced. I may try again someday....
