Very good, texture was sorta close to prime rib, flavor was beefier

The bane of the modelers existence. And the worst part is after I found it, i tried gluing it in place again, but the slot it goes into was really tight and it essentially shot it out like a spring, right off my desk into the trash bin. I gave up at that point and scratch built a new piece using a leftover bit from another kit.

Im sorry my post had that effect on you. Not all turrets look the same, they range in size, shape, number of barrels, etc. And on top of that, at 1/700 scale, much detail is lost.

Yeah me too 😂

Yeah TIL I was using battleship incorrectly as a catch all term when I should’ve been saying warship. It’s specifically a gearing class destroyer, which are smaller. Finished model will be like 7 inches long

I found it in the picture and compared it to the carpet, and thats just part of the carpet. The carpet has shiny silver and bronze looking fibers in the pattern.

Here it is in its current state https://imgur.com/a/MSJBTcK 

Carpet

I'm attempting to convert it to a shag carpet

AA gun yes, but its a Takom Gearing Class Destroyer kit

Turrets come in all shapes and sizes, it just so happens that the ones that fall on the carpet are the small single barreled ones

A genetic blessing and a curse

Determination and patience

Lmao. Hobby materials, sand, scale model train ballast, plastic shavings

Good to know for next time lol, though, I prefer there being no “next time”

😂

Thin glue and capillary action is your friend!

Lmao, nice! I don’t think I’ve ever gotten through one hobby project without losing a piece.

Where at?

I don’t believe I do, if it’s just the dark specks you’re talking about its more likely to be stray hobby materials like sand, rocks, model flocking, plastic shavings

They are not

I’ve been wondering where that pube went!

TIL battleship isn’t a generic term for all large ships made for war

I’m finding out through comments that the word “battleship” isn’t a general term for any large ship made for war. Im no naval expert and this is my first mode ship. It’s a gearing class destroyer. The ship is about 7 inch long when complete. There are larger turrets on the ship as well, I just happened to drop the smallest one.
