Fuso details
Hi
Not a lot done playing with the fiddley bits the ladders at the base and into one of the bridge houses, fixing the forward searchlight which has it's own platform not a light on a stick as I had built it.
The black and white picture is my first attempt at beefing up the binoculars it looked OK when I did it, but it seems oversize when photographed, trouble is there are not that many pictures of Fuso around so if anyone knows is it too big overall, did it look like a modern telephoto lens or what, trouble is, it really is in full view. sorry about the black and white pic but it looked even worse coloured.

Fuso Searchlight platform
Hi
The funnel now weighs a ton there is so much metal on it, parts are not glued other than the funnel, again a bit to take time over. The weather is lousy the photos the same.

And by the light of day, another gem is revealed! 
Fun with Funnels! :lol:
Hi, Barry!
Fuso's looking great! Nice work on the stack and all those little pipelines up her side. Actually, the photos from the other day weren't bad either, but the latest are even better, mate.
Looking forward to the next update!
Cheers!

Hi Barry
Well done mate, very neat.
If you have this model you will know how hard these are to cut out.
Looks great, waiting for my next fix :lol:

Funnel stays
Hi
Got one side of the funnel stay wires in place I will only fit the platforms when the other side is in place, there is not a lot of space otherwise. I am trying to do as much as possible without gluing the assembly to the hull.

Hey, wait a minute...I see some superb railings added to the platforms!
What a great piece of work, Barry.
Keep it up, mate!

bravo
hello,
quel courage!
railling, it's a big job
for my Fuso, in the funnel platforms my choice was:
to use the parts with canvas, and, with a reverse printing on paper, the same, laminated on the back, to make a thing without withe place.
(sorry for the language, i was a poor english student..)
best regards,
philippe.

This one is to make up for the aircraft photos it gives the relative size of the funnel and tower. My camera lens can't really cope with the height of the tower and goes fisheyed.
Phillipe
Your English is a whole heap better then my French, I will probably live to regret the railings I have started.

Absolutely first rate work, Barry!
Those photos show the enormity of the tower so very well...not to mention all that fine work you put into her.
Looking forward to more when you can, mate!
Cheers!

Fuso Funnel & searchlights
Hi
Back to the funnel (groan, groan) I negotiated with my grandson to borrow his plastic kit paints to do the railings and stays, added a few more and a couple of searchlights. Also added the smoke deflectors for the platforms. There are another couple of stays to go on the front and back of the funnel, the sirens and a catwalk.

Hi, Barry!
That is awesome, mate! Those plastic kit paints (were they Humbrol?) really worked well on the rails. I think you're tackling all the little details so very well.
She's really looking great; can't wait for the next update.
Cheers!
