Re: Scratchbuilding HMS Prince of Wales 1:300
Please help. Maybe some of you know what it is flotanet?
It's about these scrolls placed on a British battleship. Here is a sample photo:

Re: Scratchbuilding HMS Prince of Wales 1:300
It is unfortunate that no one wrote to the previous questions (((
Something slowly picks his time with some parts of postponing the time when the second painting. I'm not sure I always have such a scare as I paint to plan everything well and do not prang. Now I switched to the rear superstructure, but I would like to introduce another element whose delay in construction because of the difficulty.
I started to finish faith. The sides went ok, but I clinch up and stupid this was to withdraw. The photo shows the front I believe partly riveted and rear with marked holes with no rivets. The effect of Judge for yourself, maybe this is not ideal, but .....

okram,
I am pretty sure the float nets were a form of life raft. They could be lashed to boats or rafts and if there were too many people to fit in the boat/raft men could climb onto the nets to keep from drifting away.

Re: Scratchbuilding HMS Prince of Wales 1:300
Free baby steps going forward to finish him once))
Preparing to paint, maybe next week. I'm preparing for the two towers and the superstructure. How come, time will tell.
Towers improved, dismantled the ladder (to be exchanged for PE) and rangefinders improved.
Today I finished with no pre-aft deck superstructure. I added "flagsztoki" and such things on board. Two are "Przew?oka roll" and 4 behind the breakwater. These are the reels covered with tarpaulin. The plans they are gone, but the photographs are:

I wonder how four floats push nets (screens)?

Re: Scratchbuilding HMS Prince of Wales 1:300
With me there are only wires balls)) = 0.25 mm. I have used this method:
http://www.modelarstworedukcyjne.pl/ind ... &Itemid=60
To make holes I used a template from hipsu. First nitowade?kiem I did a straight line. Then drilled holes and got a simple template. Then He put it to believe and did a pin prick in which I placed the ball. Earlier I gave even the varnish to the beads do not fall out. Finally, paint the entire surface and after drying matt spray paint in-u)) It's the connectors.
nitowade?ko - it is Rivet-R
I made them myself, but it looks like this

this is my

and they look like before putting kamuflarzu faith. Only change the ladders to PE.

Re: Scratchbuilding HMS Prince of Wales 1:300
Camouflage was placed)) Masking tapes lost, and further elements are where they were))) However, Tamiya tape rule))
It was painted decks and make up for small parts rails and a little dirty and will be the next stage of my head. Works must be painted on top and barrel, and the two do rails and put the boxes and two pom-pom.
Here are some photos from the stage of camouflage:

Re: Scratchbuilding HMS Prince of Wales 1:300
That's some very nice work there. Love the amount of detail you put in it. And all in all not at such a big scale, so it is quite complex to achieve such a standard of detail!

Re: Scratchbuilding HMS Prince of Wales 1:300
Welcome. I have a problem ((As for the rail catapults and other mechanisms involved. Catapult looks at the moment so I do not know what else was in it until the end. Do not want to improvise too much but I think it must be something else. So please help, maybe someone has some material about this type of catapult.
This is a catapult model D III H on both sides.
