Sometimes you get really into a project. Things are going well, you can do no wrong. The scalpel blade stays sharp and never leaves the line you wish to cut. The glue (Revell Professional) sticks what you want and not what you don't.
This is how it was when I starting building the boat bridge. Time seemed to disappear – not a good idea when you have to get up the next morning and go to work !
One thing with this kit is that it doesn’t fall together. Lots of dry runs are needed to understand how the parts should be assembled. While you get the components marked, skill is still needed to make the model. The end result is a complicated 3D structure. Once you’ve finished it you wonder how anyone can consider this to be “playing boats” !
What I was surprised about was the way building the bridge altered the look of the model. Because it is higher than the cabin and because I have been looking at the part finished model for so long the change is stark. I feel like this stop-start project is going again. Of course 80% of the model takes 20% of the time and I’m sticking big bits together at present. Still, it’s fun while it lasts.
