Evenin' all...
I've embarked on DN's "new" v108, IN 1:200 (perhaps rather rashly) as a first foray into card models, which is something I've not done before although I've done a fair bit of plastic modelling. There are some points, though, about which I'm not entirely clear, nor do the assembly diagrams help and note that I'm not for a moment knocking Digital Navy for a freebie download - the kit is excellent and is, after all, free.
My progress so far is on my website: Ddol-las homepage, where as you'll see I've been having some fun. I was just cutting out the bulkhead for the fo'c'sle, and I noted that it should have a door, part #55, attached to it. OK, went and found #55 on the parts sheet and there are 4 of 'em. A bit more study found 2 more places to stick doors, one on the charthouse (if that's what it is, on the aft side of the bridge) and one on the port side of the superstructure under the bridge. However, I don't see where the 4th one goes.
Somewhere else I saw mention of someone having scaled up the V108 to 1:150, don't know if that was the "new" kit, or the old 1:250 one. However, it's not a bad idea - I'm about to get me hands on an A3 printer, and the "new" kit, being at 600 dpi, would scale up to 1:100, I reckon. Failing that, I need to buy some magnifying glasses and pointy tweezers, as some of the small parts are really small. I intend finishing this one, though, it's a challenge
If anyone can shed light on where the 4th door goes, it'd be handy.
