Building 1/700 scale ships has its challenges, as we all know, chiefly the fact that even the big pieces of the kit are pretty small, and things get a LOT smaller from there. I’ve gotten used to it, after a fashion.
But what I can’t get used to is the sheer tedium some projects, like hand-wrapping the barrel springs for these 20mm guns I’m working on right now with .0005 wire - it’s enough to make you bang your head against the wall. Or something …
WOW! and to think I was getting frustrated working on a 1/72 sub kit [banghead]. Guess I will have to try a 1/700 kit some day and give it a shot, the 1/350th scale ships is about the smallest scale my old eyes can handle nowadays.
In work: 1/72 VIIC/41 (still)
Pending: 1/72 Gato and another VIIC, 1/350 Bismark, Arizona, 1/72 S-100 and E-boats and a slew of aircraft kits piling up.
Handwrapping barrel springs? You are more patient than i will ever be…
