Bought superb model early last week

[ballastanksian]

Ooh, another interesting build to keep an eye on. Once you get past the funny armament layout, the Nelsons were quite attractive ships.

I shall look forward to following your build, I've always liked these ships and I'm tempted to make a diorama at 1/700 scale over the winter.

Are you building it as a static or RC conversion? The after market manufacturers have gone to town on this 1/200 model are you tempted with any of it?

[BossMark]

I am building this model purely for display only, and that moment I doing all small parts like the hose reels etc etc......

Pictures to follow next week, but I need a bit of advice. Which is the best glue to stick photo etch parts? At the moment I am using Tamiya extra thin cement but seems to take ages for the deck railings to stick

Hi bookmark having checked with Pontos models for a future project they use locktight401 superglue for etch parts.Lots of super glues out there pays your money and takes your choice.Hope this helps.

I've had a lot of luck with Loctite Gel when sticking etched parts

I can concur with the use of Loctite Gel. I've always used Gel superglues as it gives that extra second or two for final positioning over the liquid forms of superglues.

OK ta everyone Loctite gel it is.

And it stays where you put it

A sharpened cocktail stick is also useful to apply the glue to the finer detail.

Now with bow of Nelson just about finished.
