Good stuff Sean  Looking forward to seeing that. If I can offer a tip do not second plank the sides the way the instructions say, please follow my build it is easier and more straight forward  Regards Mike MWG BUILD DIARIES: HMS VICTORY, SOVEREIGN OF THE SEAS, SAN FRANCISCO II, HMS HOOD, HMS ENDEAVOUR LONGBOAT, HMS VICTORY X-SECTION, 007 DB5, NISSAN GTR, CUTTY SARK, RB7, AKAGI, BARK HMS ENDEAVOUR, HUMMER H1, MITSUBISHI ZERO.

Very nice build and another awesome build dairy Mike! Will the brass pieces be painted? Is there enough room to get in there with a brush/airbrush?

Hi Stefan thanks for the nice comments I believe we will be spray painting the Brass etch and in my opinion there is enough room to do this, but we need to do it before we put the deck down, or we will have to mask everything. I will be filling all the joins with white squadron putty, otherwise we will see every join when we add paint. Thank you for your question I hope my answer helps Regards Mike MWG BUILD DIARIES: HMS VICTORY, SOVEREIGN OF THE SEAS, SAN FRANCISCO II, HMS HOOD, HMS ENDEAVOUR LONGBOAT, HMS VICTORY X-SECTION, 007 DB5, NISSAN GTR, CUTTY SARK, RB7, AKAGI, BARK HMS ENDEAVOUR, HUMMER H1, MITSUBISHI ZERO.

Hi Mike.
Great build.
Wanted to ask your oppinion as i am building HMS Hood aswell. Would it be easy to fit lights on this model and what would be the best way of doing this.
Any help would be great thanks.
Best regards.

ISSUE 38 Hi Team this is what we received this week:- More Brass etch to clad the deck, it really is nice stuff to use MWG attached the following image(s): MWG BUILD DIARIES: HMS VICTORY, SOVEREIGN OF THE SEAS, SAN FRANCISCO II, HMS HOOD, HMS ENDEAVOUR LONGBOAT, HMS VICTORY X-SECTION, 007 DB5, NISSAN GTR, CUTTY SARK, RB7, AKAGI, BARK HMS ENDEAVOUR, HUMMER H1, MITSUBISHI ZERO.

ISSUE 38 You know how to cut the brass out now, if not please refer to my previous posts I found it is very important to make sure you have taken off the burrs (where the brass part is attached to the fret) on this issue as I nearly left some on and just in time I remembered, it would have affected the fitting tolerances. I followed the instructions and bent the brass as the visuals show (very slowly):- MWG attached the following image(s): MWG BUILD DIARIES: HMS VICTORY, SOVEREIGN OF THE SEAS, SAN FRANCISCO II, HMS HOOD, HMS ENDEAVOUR LONGBOAT, HMS VICTORY X-SECTION, 007 DB5, NISSAN GTR, CUTTY SARK, RB7, AKAGI, BARK HMS ENDEAVOUR, HUMMER H1, MITSUBISHI ZERO.

Hi Mike! How are you today? I guess your knife is for surgeon. It is very sharp. Sure, I also think it is very important to remove burrs from the metal parts carefully. 　 Best Regards, Yutaro DeAGOSTINI 1/250 the YAMATO, 1/250 the AKAGI.

ISSUE 38 Thank you Yutaro san I am well. Cheers Andy, for the support I used my clamps to fit the brass untill the glue had dried (15 mins) I also found it essential to remove any adhesive overspill from the wood in the corners, bottems and sides, so I could get the best fit possible with the brass. and here is the finished build this week:- Questions and comments welcome MWG attached the following image(s): MWG BUILD DIARIES: HMS VICTORY, SOVEREIGN OF THE SEAS, SAN FRANCISCO II, HMS HOOD, HMS ENDEAVOUR LONGBOAT, HMS VICTORY X-SECTION, 007 DB5, NISSAN GTR, CUTTY SARK, RB7, AKAGI, BARK HMS ENDEAVOUR, HUMMER H1, MITSUBISHI ZERO.

 hi Mike coming together nicely with those nice shiny parts(no blood stains either from the burs)  Hope you dont mind me asking The gap between certain bulkhead sections does not look very big so would you reccommend for people who have not reached this stage yet to join the sections of bulkheads together but NOT to glue those sections to the deck untill after brass bulkheads painted (for ease of access)or would this pose another problem Cheers

Hi Budgie, thank you for your kind comments and no blood yet  Thanks for your question, in my opinion follow the instructions and stick everything down, because we are going to have to fill all the brass joins in order for the surfaces to look good when paint is applied (I will use white squadron putty)if you do not stick them down, your finish will not be good  I hope that helps Regards Mike MWG BUILD DIARIES: HMS VICTORY, SOVEREIGN OF THE SEAS, SAN FRANCISCO II, HMS HOOD, HMS ENDEAVOUR LONGBOAT, HMS VICTORY X-SECTION, 007 DB5, NISSAN GTR, CUTTY SARK, RB7, AKAGI, BARK HMS ENDEAVOUR, HUMMER H1, MITSUBISHI ZERO.
