Yes sir! been diggin in the wife's thread box to find the right color or something close! Find anything yet? Guessing around .2 mm on 3" hose into 1/350....that is some tiny stuff there....might try filament wire or you can get away with some stranded phone wire.  |

I do have some 2lb test I got for my aircraft. But I was kind of hoping to cheat and just put some thread around them and not have to paint them. I'll figure it out some how.

Thanks Gary! I need to to find it on DVD, the last time I watched it was a friends house on netflicks. Almost there no mojo loss just things that came up. Thanks Ian! The decals are on because I prepainted the island before assembly. The reason behind that is I put clear plastic in the windows. I think if I had to try and mask all those little windows I'd end up in a padded room with a reverse jacket! LOL!!!  |

Rather than do a triple ditto, I'll just say that's some very nice PE and detail work you've got going there!  |

Thanks Dicky! I know but since that would be the only seam on the ship(stop right there all that PE is enough!) I kinda have to make it go away. I used to work at Electric boat, I would enter the ballast tanks at the bottom and get out through the top! Thanks Andy! It is not I who am mad, it is I who am Crazy!  Thanks Ah Ditto and Ditto and Ditto!LOL!! Thanks Bill! Wait for the planes! Thanks Gary! Thanks Leon! Thanks Phil! |

Look on the bright side...you conquered that hull seam perfectly. Even with the masking to put the waterline back this one's looking good! |
