Please excuse for my absence. Our little girl was born at the start of January and then I decided to build a bespoke desk in my modelling room so I’ve been a bit pre-occupied! (link to video of the desk build - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-FTZGUFLp8U )
Anyway, here are some recent pictures of this build. I have also run into an issue. Now the three decks are together and the superstructure sides are in place the entire assembly has a bend in it. Now normally I can get around this but as it’s fully assembled and painted I have backed myself into a corner. When I put the assembly onto the hull the two ends meet but the centre part stands a good 1cm clear. Its s solid that it requires a LOT of pressure to correct which I just can’t see glue and clamping solving. Any ideas are very much appreciated!
Welcome first and foremost to the best bunch of plastic and resin crunchers around ( My opinion anyway ). Now you asked for a critique ? Be careful what you ask for here .
I don’t pull punches as I love ships and anything to do with them . Captained the real ones ( Tankers ) when they were small city blocks that couldn’t do the canal . You think parking a Buick was hard . Try to parallel park one of those beasts LOL.LOL. We will be glad to help in any way we can . Tanker - Builder
If your pieces are doing the bridge curve thing try this . Keep it clamped , Put fresh liquid glue on the parts rather heavy and put a weight in the middle until it slowly gets straight .
This can work , But If you can , and the joints are somewhat soft seperate them and do it over .
