These look great! Tedious, but the results are worth it.

Hi Corbin,

Excellent mini tutorial and a timely subject for me, thanks.

I love your porthole technique - easy & straightforward, but with precise, good-looking results. Nice photo-documentation as well! Great work!

Hello Everyone,

I’ve been slowly working away on this. These walls took a lot longer than I would have expected, plus I have several other projects that take their share of my time. Lots of small parts that you don’t notice unless you look closely - doors, vents, portholes, etc... The starboard side alone has 77 separate pieces! They say the devil is in the details, but these tiny details are what makes this kit worthwhile for me.

Cheers, Corbin

Yes, there is an enormous amount of detail along those deceptively simple-looking bulkheads! You certainly do have an enviable skill, Corbin. It's an excellent build.

Nice work Corbin. Very clean and neat. I was curious when do yo put your hull sides on?

**redhorse** · #27 02-28-2009, 09:39 AM

Ohh! This looks really good - the details I think will make her a real stand out.

**Chaldane** · #28 02-28-2009, 01:36 PM

I wanted to thank everyone for the kind words and encouragement.

My next step will be the hull sides. I'm a little nervous about that because there are some complex shapes to match up on the bow and stern.

Today is entry day for our local model club's annual show, so I'll be busy there. They actually have a paper model category - I'll be entering my DF370 snow groomer (I have photos of that in the gallery).

Cheers, Corbin

Those doors, vents, portholes, etc... are looking real sharp! They show up nicely in the images. I'm enjoying watching your build.

I am a HMV fan, even though you have to order from over the big pond since PMI is selling out as we speak, for anyone that is interested, any order over $100.00 is cut in 1/2. Kits are flying out the door. Now back to this most wonderful attention to detail build. You are building in a style I really like to see, cleanly. I will watch this thread until finished, am very interested in how she turns out. Keep up the good work.:D Was blown away by the photo's you posted of this ship. From what I see, yours looks as if it too will be a head turner.
