Bismarck Pack 2 - stage 13

[WonderWoman]

Stage 13 - supporting the gearbox and the first half of the breakwater hinges.

 

The gearbox that I attached in the last stage now needs securing. This is done by attaching bracket to each side. Pay attention to the 'L' and  'R' so that, unlike me, you attach them in the correct way around first time!!

 

The easiest way I found for the hinges is to snip them all of in once go, put them all together by pushing the metal pins onto the plastic hinges. Once they are all done you can them move onto adding t the deck all in one go

 

I used tweezers to position the pins in place and the end of a screw dive to push them down into the holes that they sit in. A word of caution - make sure that the base of the plastic hing has had all of the plastic excess removed so that they are completely flat otherwise they will sit too high in the hole.

These pins make really great detail, and the other ten pins for the starboard side of the deck will be in stage 15.

 

Stage complete!
