I don't get this Andy - its a bit like dropping bread crumbs mate. Your build is amazing so get posting as so many people really want to see your build including me. You're on Mayhem as you have always been so.................come on

Sorry Mark but I have stated already that the issue of 30 minutes editing is too restrictive.
I’m not sitting down composing a post in word to copy and paste it to a blog as was suggested.
Having posted more frequently on Facebook it has become obvious which is easier and faster.
I can post over 50 photos in any one post and edit it as necessary indefinitely and share to multiple groups in minutes.
So as suggested by Rich I’ll post a picture now and then. The gallery is available to everyone who is interested with pictures as big as they like
12hr or daily editing is more realistic

Thank you Marco A pair of portholes with the backs ground off sufficed for the outlets.

Taranis · « **Reply #358 on:** December 05, 2020, 11:38:53 pm »

Embellished with stainless washers to customise the hole size.
Tomorrow all bulwark ribs will be finished and all the white will finally be red oxide.
See the gallery for latest pictures

Thank you Andy,
as said before your build is amazing I get up every morning and switch on the computer to see if you have posted any more.
Regards Howard.

Please do use the gallery Howard. I pay near £50 a year to host my pictures so add it to your bookmarks for all the pictures the day they happen. Thank you.

That chain looks good I've not seen model chain like that before

Taranis · « **Reply #362 on:** December 06, 2020, 03:37:25 pm »

I've had this a long time Mark. Seach for "stud link anchor chain"
This one has a nice patina to the brass, possibly quite old as I bought from a private eBay seller

Cornwall keep it in stock but be careful of sizes

Edit
The 7.5mm looks very like mine I think but not quite as good. I think mine may be cap maquettes

Photo 967 of 968 in the gallery, likely 2000 to the finish .

I do chop and change between tasks

this stops me getting bored or frustrated.
So today I switched to the wheelhouse roof which is ongoing. The gallery is up to date with pictures in chronological order ( as it happened

)

Ladders next I think

Taranis · « **Reply #369 on:** December 09, 2020, 03:42:39 pm »

It's handy to have my previous builds as reference as I forget.

Model shop Leeds here I come. More brass required

Taranis · « **Reply #371 on:** December 10, 2020, 06:43:48 pm »

Unfortunately Model Shop Leeds failed today. No small sizes of brass flat bar so I've had to order from CMB and their delivery is painfully slow lately with no option to upgrade postal service

So I moved onto the main Radar tower
Gallery is updated.
