POB 1/48 Hayling - Modelship Dockyard

[Luiz B. F. Grassi]

Hi Jackie, congratulations on the excellent work ! What's the diameter of LED bulbs are using ?

Thanks, I'm planning to use 3mm for internal lighting and 5mm for the stern lanterns

Thanks Luiz, the LEDs came in 3mm. You may find them from local shop or Tume/Aliexpress. Cheers.

Thanks,

Your work is fantastic Jackie, but I'm just a bit confused. The first words you posted in the log were:



Yet ... it sure looks like POF. Could you explain why you say this is a POB build?

You are right, it will looks like a POF model eventually. I said that cuz the build still goes through a traditional POB process.

I thicken the tail section with strips, so that the window frames are no longer flush with it, making the whole section look more vivid.

Great idea! That's much better! May I ask you how you removed char off the tiny lights frames?

Nice to see the "windows" called by their period name, "lights"

I'm thick and slow, but I've got some patient theachers here on SOS....
Thank you, Allan.

Hi Albert, I used ammonia and hydrogen peroxide wood bleach to remove those char (laster marks). Pls wear gloves or use your tweezers. Always trial before use.
I purchased them from a local hobbyshop. If not, try local chemical shop, formula and method can be found on Google.

Thanks Jackie, lovely advice!

I was hesitated for quite a while over the deck plank width, but eventually followed the one provided in the kit, which is 4 mm.
This is becuz I would like to employ the original plank joggling in the kit.

Looks a bit stressful than the pattern of Antscherl's Hoy deck. And of course, more effort was spent to capping the deck.
