Building Combrigs HMS Indefatigable in
I use 2 compound filler for the gap between waterline and casting runner.
I drilled open the hawse pipes and tried to soften the opening by sanding it.
The superstructure parts were fixed with some drops of acrylic gel which can be removed by alcohol later.
Then I drilled holes of 1mm diameter for metal rods.
The rods are glued into the superstructure parts. Now I can work on them separatly and position them again exactly on the hull.
Some misfit on the end of the aft superstructure.
With a chisel I corrected the misfit on the aft superstructure.
After sanding I dilled missing windows and added doors to the sides.
With a marking gauge I simulated the joints on the funnel sides by engraving them.
Next step were the main gun turrets in which I drilled the holes for the turned brass barrels.
Another addition was the little hatch on top of the turret which I took from a Fletcher PE set.

With the beginning of my Christmas holiday I started a new project. I want to build HMS Indeaftigable during her time in the Mediteranean in the end of 1914. Thought the Combrig kit is done very well there are still some lacks in detail I try to modify or scratch.
Additional parts I will use are gun barrel and mast sets from BMK, Royal Navy railing from Alliance Model Works, cage areal spacers from WEM and finallyIJN doors and hatches also from WEM which not exactly fit to RN WWI appearance but are very similar.
