Sweet metal railing parts. 🙂

Q: Where did you buy them?

Matti Thomaes 作者
Hello Treehugger,

I bought them on the site of Naval Models itself, this set should still be available, although the stock is limited

Tim
Yes

Treehugger
Q: Is there not supposed to be railings on top at the back in photo 3? Just below the mast structure.

Guy Rump
Looking good, following. 👍

Matti Thomaes 作者
@ treehugger, yes indeed, it is one of the few pieces of PE that I still have to add
Guy, welkom, take a seat,

Michael Kohl
Count me in on that one. Very nice progress so far.

Jörg Schäfer
I'll stay with you too. Looks good already.

Christian Lehmann

I've been working on the details to make it all look a bit more realistic, I hope to get busy with the airbrush very soon.

Matti Thomaes 作者
I had hoped to be in the painting phase by now, but no, still adding detail to it. I didn't have the time to do much, as other things kept getting in the way.

Tim
Great progress. All the extra detail is nice.

Matti Thomaes 作者
Thanks Tim👍

Well doesn't time fly. It's been months since I gave you guy's an update on my Jean Bart. I have been working on her, but only in short sessions. This gave me the impression that I was getting nowhere with this one. Then came along the Plastic & Steel show where I had the opportunity to work on her for two full days, and lo and behold she is close to getting finished. Just adding the last details know, than some weathering, clear coat and windows and clear parts and done.
Hopefully next update very soon…

Mike Goodman
I think it was time well spent, seeing how impressive your rendering of this tug is at this stage!

Matti Thomaes 作者
Thanks, Mike, It is indeed a far cry from the original kit, of I may say so my self.

When you are finished, perhaps you can do a review on the PE set to correct or add to the instructions, in reference to photo #29. Great build so far ❤️️

Matti Thomaes 作者
Yes, I'm finaly back at this one, took me long enough. Painting and weathering are al done, next step will be a matt coat and than windows, rigging and final details.
I can almost see the finnish flag, well actualy the Frensh one in this case.

Looking good 👍
