I just realized how silly the intro is on the videos. It will not survive into part 4.

Dear Thales:
Very educational. Do you glue or solder the wires?
Thank you very much for sharing your technique.

I glue the thread. 1 coat of water, 2 coats of thinned PVA, then 1 coat of CA.

do you put the CA on the thread while it's still wet. I love the simplicity of the rig and want to try this. At $25 per photo etch sheet it can be costly to add rails to models. These look great and allow for customizing as well.

The PVA goes on while the thread is still wet.

I let the PVA dry before putting the CA on it.

Part 4!

I just finished part 4, the remainder of the forward superstructure.



This video now includes a 2nd camera, narration (voice for silent movies, face for radio), and some action shots.

I found another problem with this kit (among the many others already). The mast for the forward radar booth is not in the parts. So I had to scratch build one. But the old girl is starting to come together.

Excellent work. I have just been reading about the First Naval Battle of Guadalcanal on 13 November 1942, in which San Francisco received serious damage resulting in the death of Admiral Daniel Callaghan.
