Video coming shortly.
A lot has been done, but not a lot. ( bit like frigging ribs). I have built, and shaped the lower floor joist pairs, but they could not be fitted till Trident had updated the interior doco. Now that they have provided it, I have commenced building the little structures. Be aware that the parts are VERY VERY small and light not just etched. They are individual planks that need to be cut away from the templates and glued together. Any heavy breathing will make them go bye bye. A sneeze and its all over. Good luck finding any parts. The solution, painters tape, is in the videos, but its only pre glue. ( The time between placing & glue dry is still a sneezable zone). I'm sure Jimsky / Maarten will do an excellent photo essay on this ( it may need it).
Anyway I have completed the front bulkheads and am in the process of assembling the small cabinets & storage areas in the deadwood area. It is a Head magnifier,tweezers and scalpel blade alignment of parts process. I am doing this on a very flat acrylic a4 sheet. The PVA does not stick to it, so I can edge glue, line up, lay flat and leave to dry on the acrylic sheet. once dry the parts are solid enough to sand. Adding the 2 x 2 where indicated makes them very sturdy.
The wall panels will need to be shaped to fit your hull as they are only close and not curved to fit. Fit sand fit sand etc etc.
This is heaps of fun and anyone who loves doing deck furniture fit out will have a ball. The parts are extremely well cut.
It does not look like they supplied hinges,( there is some PE but not sure it is for this), but at this size and due to the fact that a lot of it is hard to see, I will probably use black card stock imitation. I may have some old fittings as leftovers but I have not looked yet.
I also completed the barrels( single layer no end cap overlay), but I'm not sure I will use them as they look way out of scale ( much too big compared to the rest of the model parts ). I do have some smaller ones from other builds floating around, but have to find them
If you want to see the hull interior from a Ribs/ Beams perspective, do not add the cabins. A lot is covered up. But if your want to see how the interior fit goes together then I highly recommend it.
BTW I seem to have lost the ability to Bold Italic , add emoticons etc. Anyone know how to turn this back on / off ?
POST EDIT
Fixed it. There is an option toggle BB code near the undo redo that enables disables it.!
See you soon.
