Hi Everyone,
I started this thread originally in response to a post by Dennis about building the Old Model Kits 1/350 SS Normandie resin kit. I'm going to rework this, from the beginning, with captions!
I bought the kit in 2017 as soon as I learned it was available, and as soon as I was able to talk myself into spending the money. So I've been working on it off and on ever since. Lately I've been working on it a lot. But once again, it's gonna go on hiatus while I try to finish another model in time for the IPMS Nationals in Omaha this summer. There's no way I'll finish Normandie in time without really rushing it, and I don't want to do that.
So here we go from the start. First thing was to prep the two halves of the hull for cementing. This was a challenge because it didn't line up very well. I used Six10 epoxy from West System. This is a marine-grade, slow-curing, gap filling adhesive. Great stuff! https://www.westsystem.com/specialty-epoxies/six10-thickened-epoxy-adhesive/
