Kit of my fren, he like battleship alot but don have the patient and tools to do it. So he told me to help him to build it.

Well, i very new to battleship so juz 'play' around first.

the manual, wrong spelling there ;).


the stand


test fitting the hull, there's a very big gap there, what should i do?

If you are daring, you may cut the top piece apart( I am assuming that the top piece is a single long piece). Then shave off the material off the ends and test fit until you get a good fit again.

Great idea Lim. I'll try it.

Becky, any update here?

Becky please post some WIP here. Thanks

Progress on my ship:


Overall view


Closer view


The detail of the ship, the quality of this kits is very bad. Need to slice n cut to make it fit in, and some of the part is out of shape :wacko:

Good thing this not my kit, juz simply essemble n paint. :P

quite good progress there Becky. What are you using for reference?

I only refer to the manual book, no specific reference ;)

:D
looking good Becky despite some slicing & dicing :)

kuman

Thanks for the update Becky. Now I know where to get my 1/350th ships. :P

Kuman:
Yup, my first battleship.

Becky, well done and happy doing this ship right? May I know what brand u are doing on?

Hi Becky.

Good to know someone whose brave enough to tackle ships. Way to go girl!

Judging from your WIP you're progressing well. The fact that you're willing to correct flawed fitting of the molds shows you're heading the right direction to enjoying modelling and that is attention to detail and finishing it right.

Hope you will continue to build ships even tho this particular kit is bad.
By the way what brand is it?
Are you going to leave it on the stand or put it in simulated sea?

Need more ship builders,
Richard.

Hi there, wui chong and Richard.

The brand is Mini Model?? Not sure bout it but the logo is a triangle.

Thank for the encouragement, i got another 1/700 Essex aircraft carrier, Trumpeter brand. Will start on this babe after finish this New Jersey.

1/700 th scale? You damn brave man!!

Must introduce you to PE parts for this scale, simply mind blowing.

Richard.

Eeegh Richard, Becky is really Becky. She is our only lady modeller in this forum. :P

I know she is, only used the expression 'man' like in 'yeah,man'.

I'd prefer acknowledging her as a fellow modeler with no discrimination whatsoever.
May there be more roses blooming among the thorns in the future forum.

Need more ship builders, guys and girls.

Richard
