How about if you did the slightly larger Trumpy 200 scale Hood? That would be Superb :smallsmile:

If so, then just a bit more time for the Pontos guys to finalise the set, then BOOM! The most accurate PE set ever created! :thumbs_up_1:

Thanks again everyone!

Hood is definitely on my short list but I'm going to wait until Pontos catches up with their detail sets; sounds like they are gonna do the regular set + advanced set thing again so I'm guessing it will be a while.

I'm thinking maybe I'll do something smaller and that won't take a year to finish next...

Glorious achievement.

Every reason to be very proud I think.

I want one. :big_grin:

It occurred to me the other day that I have a metric ton of aftermarket stuff lurking in my stash, including a bunch of these:

...which I bought years ago and never used. They also happen to be shorter than the Pontos 20mm bases... That means I don't actually have to live with dramatically oversized oerlikons after all; swapping out the bases gives me a much better scale effect:

Image

Image

I only have enough to do half of them right now but those little oerlikons are still available and I might be able to just stick with the kit bases on the maindeck without them looking weird. Plus, I checked the Pontos Missouri/Iowa detail sets and those kit's oerlikon bases are shorter than the Nelson kit so I've got extra there as well (although they are a somewhat different shape) :woo_hoo:

I also squeezed out Nelson's HACS units:

Image

They were a nightmare as the main antennae piece wouldn't fold properly and the little triangle pieces break off after only a couple folds. It was almost a disaster but I somehow managed to get 'em bent properly and re-glue the triangle pieces back onto the unit. A little bit of paint and no one will ever know... :wink_3.gif


Hello
Did you paint those decks dark grey with brush after glueing everything together?

Many of the deck surfaces were actually Pontos PE; I painted them first and then installed them. For the deck surfaces that weren't PE I masked them off and airbrushed 'em after assembling and painting the vertical bulkheads.

Wow! How did you manage to mask and paint afterwards the lowest deck of the superstructure? I' m currently at this point and I can't figure it out how to paint it when all PE parts are glued in place... :Mad_6:

Hi Jason,
What color did you use for the darker metal decks? Is it Tamiya, and if so could you tell which one? I am looking for a similar color to paint my HMS Lion battleship decks.

Thanks and Happy New Year! :woo_hoo: :thumbs_up_1:

can you tell me what the girder structure thing between the breakwaters is for? is it to carry rigging from the superstructure to the bow?

I just read this thread from start to finish. Great thread and the work is superb. You should be proud.

What a great build thread!
I too have just read it from start to fantastic finish... amazing how quickly you progressed through.

Somehow, once I reached the end of your thread, a Nelson and corresponding Pontos set was purchased from LuckyModel.... great timing with the $2.00 shipping!

I thank you :wave_1: , my wife and credit card have a different opinion! :heh:
