This thread details the building of a 1/72 Revell 'Skipjack' with working lights and a homemade Water Tight Cylinder (WTC)
Greetings from Dublin in Ireland (that small island off the west of Europe beside the UK!!!)
Have started on a 1/72 Revell Skipjack, which will hopefully be USS Sculpin as I like the paint scheme, just got a work stand built and made the cuts as per the Cabal reports by Mr. Merriman.
As per the photos I've added slim fillets of 0.5mm Plasticard at each join seam of the Z cuts, plus I'm spending most time on the seams where the kit halves are joined.
I came across a really useful tool for the seams (in the USA on holidays last year as it happens) it's basically a 2 foot long metal straight edge that you stick some sandpaper on to (in this case 120 grit) with two-sided tape.
Anyway, will post progress as I go, won't be covering what's already done on other threads, but hopefully have a few ideas where it can be improved.
