The Model Ship - Part 1891 

That section is looking great

Hi Ron, Great video today. I'm guessing Trumpeter knew that there were several tanks on the sub that were the same length. Instead of molding some with locating pins and others without, they just made them all the same. I would remove those pins myself. Thanks for sharing. Have a great day. Jeff

Hi Ron Please make that pen ! I’m sure most of us avid viewers would be interested to see it ! ( maybe as one hell of a rollback ? ). Best wishes Ray Birmingham England .

Hi Ron, another great episode today….👍 On looking into I think that the sink may well be steel, enamelled white…..or porcelain…either way it’s white In colour….…… from the images I looked at it did look that way…..🤔 Take care. Best Regards Gary

Great episode Ron. I would wite up your led’s first then install them. Excess wire can always be tucked out of sight. All caught up now. Got my trailer back so I should be back on normal hrs next week. Take care n see you tonight.

Hi Ron, just an idea but you could tapper the sides of your new wooden mudguard so the width is reduced once it starts going over the wheel. That should aid in swinging your leg over it. Of course that is a balancing act of ensuring the water is still all captured by the board to how much easier it is getting on to the bike. Similarly you could plane the thickness of the board down a bit at the end by a few mm to help. I suppose you again have the trade off between making a difference and being too fragile if the material is too thin. I'd imagine once done though and a quick coat of waterproof black paint and a few holes drilled into the rack on the bike itself, that you could screw into and it would look purpose made for the job. That said perhaps a nice piece of plastic, similar to your perspex that is in your model case, might be a better material to use? Thinner with a bit more flex, also easier to drill holes in and zip tie to the bike rack underneath. Anyhow, that is a workshop video I wouldn't mind seeing if you ever need a break from the model table. 🙂 Have a good day.

Hi Ron. Video time 21.07, the pins for the tank on the drawing are protruding so need to remain. We imagine that on the original sub that this tank may be interchangeable with the previous tanks installed. In other words the pins may be part of the tank rather than a positioning aid for the model. Regards UK Jimmy and vicky

When ever someone offers a “Lifetime Warranty” I always wonder if it is my lifetime or the company’s lifetime. 😉

Good episode Ron, it seems to.me some of those parts could have better,stronger and easier ways to be attached like that tank you added it looks very easily breakable but overall all the detail parts in that kit are really nice, its going to look very impressive when done.

Very nice! Gotta be another way for the bike fenders!

Hey Ron A++++ video today. Once you got it tacked on I was waiting for the overnight rubber band but the wood stick did the job. On macro the placement was perfect and step 17 is in the rear view mirror. Mike

Hi Ron, Good show tonight ,and like you said if it ain't broke don't fix it, good saying.👍

Hi Ron ,yep it's we and not i that is building your Uboat, need to cut those nubs on the tank , they do look silly, need 3 hands , where are your helping hands👐😄😄😄😄see you tomorrow

Ron, If you look closely at the drawing in Step 13, you can see the edges of the pins under the tank. And about your Scooter, why not make the bike box wider to accommodate both of them. Keep the Gas vehicles and can out of the House.

My goodness! That tank gave you a bit of test! Is it Decal or Dekal in Canada?

Ron, another great video. The board was a good idea and cheap too, it wood be 😂. Happy modelling

Hi Ron: the gloves dialing down sounds logical, my diving lamp does the same: when the battery's charge gets lower, it dials down to preserve energy so they will keep working for a longer periode of time.

Hi Ron, whats the name of the green cloth? Im think Im going to get some
