Amazingly convincing weathering.

[@TheModelShed]

Thank you 👍

[@willpaulson8509]

Looks great! You’ve made a tricky kit look surprisingly easy!

[@TheModelShed]

Thanks Will it didn’t feel like that I must say. it will be a while till I tackle another

[@davidroberts2777]

As always very informative. This model is turning out to be another smasher.

[@TheModelShed]

Thank you David I’m pretty happy with it and looking forward to finishing it off tomorrow 👍

[@Marley-k2i]

This is the stage I had been eagerly waiting for. My build stopped two years ago because of trying to find the best way of anchoring the legs in. I love the kit to bits but this was such a poor design . I did think about the pins with a view to a fine adjustment by bending the rod once the leg is inserted but as you rightly pointed out I was not able to find a rod that has both stregth and give.....Ah well I'm just going to have to bite the bullet . Thanks for a very encouraging and motivating build . All the best.

[@TheModelShed]

The poor design (a hallmark of this kit unfortunately) of the UC is definitely weak and needs strengthening- the NS rod is up to that job better than brass or copper which are much softer

[@usssaratogacv3lefevre978]

Awesome, your technique is some positive.

[@TheModelShed]

Thank you

[@raleighlamb3324]

Lol, I don't know how many times I've sat down thinking, "this will only take a few minutes"......12 hours later..... "Well, I guess I'll finish up tomorrow"... Nice work though, the way they engineered those landing gear, I would have pinned them also. Looking forward to the next update!

[@TheModelShed]

I regularly underestimate my build time by a least 50% - you think I’d have learned by now….."..

[@GhostRider247]

fantastic as always !!!!

[@TheModelShed]

Thank you 👍

[@anfieldroadlayoutintheloft5204]

Good video cool video on channel thanks lee

[@TheModelShed]

Thanks Lee

[@FinsburyPhil]

Excellent work as ever Steve. I would find it interesting if you gave some idea of the actual elapse time that you spent on each part of a build, both working and waiting. Perhaps just a sentence in the info box?

[@TheModelShed]

Nice idea Phil I’ll try to do that 👍

[@RubyMarkLindMilly]

If you don't mind me asking what model tweezers do you use ? Are they watchmakers? Thanks mark 👍

[@jimrichards3621]

been wondering that too

[@TheModelShed]

They’re ophthalmologists forceps Mark - not commonly available unfortunately

[@Jeff-cv4qn]

Hi Steve

[@TheModelShed]

Hi Jeff

[@UnderstatementJones1]

Lovely. How long do you usually spend modeling in a day? I’m lucky if I can fit a couple of hours in a couple of times a week.

[@TheModelShed]

My answer to your question in part 7 refers: • 3 days ago It was a bit I received the 3d yawl on the Wednesday before Telford. I missed finishing the model by a couple of days. I suppose I’d average 4 hours a day and I like the variety I get from having a couple of. different subjects on the bench

[@willthorson4543]

I think because your issues with finishing models for Teleford happened, you shoukd do the 1/200 Hornet during the Dolittlr raid. 😬

[@TheModelShed]

😬😬 I’ve another different but similar project coming up for the next naval build

[@GREGLUCAS-u4f]

You have noise and phone disturbances,and I thought it was only me

[@TheModelShed]

🤔

[@michalwarszawski]

Resin is better

[@TheModelShed]

Agreed Michal
