Revised Bridge & deckhouse. I couldn't leave the gloppy way the bridge winders cast alone. I added a tripod for the radar, a mount for the searchlight, a hole for the radio whip antenna new bridge windows and life rings.

She will join my 1/700 Smugglers & Rum Runners set as a Longline Trawler and mother ship.

Lookin' good Rhino.
What did you make those life rings from, or were they aftermarket items?

 

[Rhino]

The 1/700 life rings are from Gold Medal Models. Loren Perry made good stuff for many Moons. I like His P-E best! Eduard is pretty good, however, as an American (Tee-Hee) manufacturer, I like to spend my $$ inside My Country's borders.

The Mold copied the P/E winders & life rings nicely! The radar tripod & spotlight pedestal as well.
I'm a very happy Rhino!

 

[Iron Mike]

Fun!

I find I use tiny amounts of C/A glue on my dinky projects. I also drink little jugs of water along the way.
I like to use the caps to hold my glue. I got tired of having them slide away, spill, or wasting material.
I made one of these.

It does THIS!
Minimizes waste! The most expensive material any small business pays for is waste.

A little paint on winches & barrels, start on masts & booms. Now is the time I wish I had an induction soldering rig.
In 1/700 scale almost every part is WAY overscale, even with .008 copper wire.
Thanks guys!

[Rhino]

Starting to work on mast & stays. I thought I had better do a little paint on deck fittings before I got carried away (Again!)

Deck house & Bridge 2.0. Aahhh! Better! The holes for engine & generator are drilled too far forward. :facepalm
Bridge winders & ports. Tamiya smoke over silver.

 

[lupanzer]

Nice job!
