I work in my kitchen too, my cat is curious too, but a lot darker 😉
"Tiny but beautiful" also applies to the whole assembly 👍

Thank you so much Sylvain 🙂 This tiny ship is tough on old eyes but I'm having so much fun.

Well gang, this kit from Rainbow really kind of sucks. As you seen the resin lower part of the bridge was formed a good bit smaller than the pe top piece so I had to modify it. I also ran into the lack of fit with the ships boats, pe being bigger than the resin hull of the cutter and the pe being shaped wrong to fit the resin 12meter motor launch... Last issue is the instructions tell you to buy Rainbows own depth charges separately to have any on the ship so I did. Guess what, with the end caps on for detail they are fatter by 2mm than the cages for them.

I'm shelving this ship for a few weeks, I just ordered replacement parts from Ben at Black Cat. Thank god for guys like him that know what they're doing, the guys at Rainbow must have had too much Saki making this kit.

Villiers de Vos
Very nice detail work.

Clair Greenwood Autor
Thank you Villiers, that's a high compliment after seeing the work you do. Outstanding skill you have 🙂

Clair Greenwood Autor
Well I decided not to let this get the better of me so I am back to work. There's stuff I can get done while waiting for replacement parts from Black Cat.

Sylvain Vernier
Good news !

Kyle DeHart
Nozo looks a lot like my friend Clyde!! Nice work on the shop as well!

Clair Greenwood Autor
Thanks Kyle! Does Clyde help you with models too? lol

Kyle DeHart
Clyde likes to think he does but it's actually just a lot of sleeping. 🤣

Paul Shearer
Cats are best when supervising 😹

Kyle DeHart
No doubt Paul. I've always got one supervising me. Lol

Clair Greenwood Autor
Oh yeah, I tell you guys what, I'd be lost without my buddy here keeping me on the straight and narrow 😉

Clair Greenwood Autor
A small update guys, my buddy Ben at Black Cat is getting some replacement boats out soon, so with all the cat on this boat it'll be meowin good when I finish.
