RE: IJN Mutsu 7yr build project OW!! CRAP that looks painful. I hope there is no serious damage! Get a hold of the guys on Full Metal Jousting and see if you can get gloves from them J
RE: IJN Mutsu 7yr build project Yep, it hurts! :cry: For a larger view click here! There is a few inside too.....
RE: IJN Mutsu 7yr build project More proof that even small power tools have absolutely no respect for human flesh and will vigorously defend their space whilst inflcting maximum damage to anyone within range. You serve an admirable example for us all. Hope there was no nerve damage.
RE: IJN Mutsu 7yr build project Well, it took awhile to recover from that cut. More psychological than physical! I still have a hard time using my dremel.. After the cut I had to take a break from building, turned out to be a longer break than planned but I am now back in the saddle and Spudwerks is back in action. I will have to go through my builds to see where I am at since it has been a year since I have worked in the shop. Keep tuned for updates on the Nagato and the other builds..
RE: IJN Mutsu 7yr build project I have had bad cuts like that, stabs, solder burns , grabbed the soldering iron by the hot end once, dropped solder droplets on my bare legs, hotglued my fingers together, made large incisions with my X-CTO accidentaly, glued my inner nostril with Ca. You will overcome your fear and become more careful.
RE: IJN Mutsu 7yr build project How did you CA your inner nostril? And how did you take care of the problem????
RE: IJN Mutsu 7yr build project Well, if you're using CA glue, and you get some on your finger at about the same time your nose REALLY itches...
RE: IJN Mutsu 7yr build project ........not as bad as getting CA on your fingers and going to the restroom... visual not needed!
RE: IJN Mutsu 7yr build project Just as Tug explained it. That ' how it happened, ca on the finger scratched my nostril due to balsa dust and viola glued nostril. Not fun!
RE: IJN Mutsu 7yr build project Okay, very fun. And of course thanks for sharing, I'll have to watch out for that kind of stuff.
RE: IJN Mutsu 10yr build project Since the Baden has departed the shop, I have begun work once more in earnest on the IJN Mutsu!!! Oh how I hate building the pagoda on this ship! For a larger view click here! For a larger view click here! For a larger view click here!
RE: IJN Mutsu 10yr build project It's a hard foam. The kit was a battlersconnection kit. You can get the foam at smoothon.com
RE: IJN Mutsu 10yr build project The decks are finished on the pagoda, now for some filler in some areas and then the darn splinter shields... ugh! For a larger view click here!

RE: IJN Mutsu 10yr build project Where did you get the main deck ? The one that came with my kit isn't that good.
RE: IJN Mutsu 10yr build project Is the foam part something you made? Or did it come from somewhere? Either way, it's looking great with the work you're doing
RE: IJN Mutsu 10yr build project I think it is/was part of the kit for that ship from BC, one of the guys up here was building a Mutsu, and I did see that same foam SS stuff in his boxes.
RE: IJN Mutsu 10yr build project The tan foam parts are from the kit. The green foam is pieces I had to add.
