Thanks Yves
A bit of a pain but I think will really stand out once completed, this is my first 'non wooden' Napoleonic ship I have attempted. I saw a few being done on here and just goat the bug LOl .
I spray the stipes and then do the P.E parts which are easy to hand paint in.. It would be a nightmare to mask off even with a small amount of detail in place,
Next is to stripe the funnel-- then detail it...

in all the rush to show it I placed it the wrong way around lol--- all the deck sections and funnel are not glued. I wont do that until they are all painted,

Not posted for a short while. I have been slowly plugging away at the main decks and bridges. Once all the PE is on a section I gave it a light grey spray to show up any bad joints or wobbly parts-- far easier to see. The three decks are not glued together.

first upper deck stripe done. I wont fix the funnel cap until after its its stripes -Thought Id better the ground work adding the stripes in before it gets too cluttered with PE to mask nicely.

Ian B got a reaction from mbp521 in IJN Heian Maru by RGL - FINISHED - Hasewaga - 1/350 - PLASTIC - Sub depot ship
absolutely stunning--- a true show winner..
PS My Wife is not happy with you!!!! I showed her your build and suggested I did one similar for the dinning room --- But it would mean moving her shiny display stuff-- so that's a 'NO' 🤣
Might I could fit a Sub on the long very narrow shelf...🤪
