How did Anzio Annie fit in with these large bore guns? -
Edward, it had been raining, so I'd imagine they were all a mess.

Very nice printing of your replacement parts. Interesting that the barrels are printed, too. They don't seem to have the fine ridging, either. Superb stuff.

EG, take a step or two back. Work on something else. I think we all have a dark corner of the shop where our faux pas reside. Some issues just beat us. Unfortunately, it's your Blue Jay 4 build today. You'll puzzle it out and dazzle us all with a newer, better Zipper. Nihil illigitimis, carborundum. Don't let the bas***ds wear you down. We'll all be there supporting you.

Busy corner of the tarmac, OC. Nicely done, mate!. 👍👍

"If it moves, salute it. If it doesn't, paint it." Some may recognize that adage. -
Work off good color photos, if available. For very old ships, who's to say who is correct on colors. Can't show anyone a good color photo of the Santa Maria, can you? Kits may include painting instructions, but sometimes they're incorrect. Do some Internet searches for color ideas.

The finish looks great, EG. Bet that puts your mind at ease. I hope you do your practice on your tank turret. Don't screw up the Zipper. Got some gloves to prevent prints and oils from transferring? Can't wait to see the markings applied to this jewel. 👍

Been brush painting the cleats yellow. They're molded in a yellow/tan resin, so I'm seeing how good my Mission Models yellow paint (an acrylic) covers, without priming. I'll add them and attach some wire loops on the corners to hang the rubber tire bumpers. Then weather the scow.

Denis, those parts were just announced. No telling when you'd see them if ordered. But he does do some nice work in many scales. He really supports the hobby of shipbuilding.

Gorgeous job on the wire wheels, Grant. Nicely done.
-
OK, we can wait. Tic-toc-tic-toc. We're ready now.

Denis, saw this just now on Steel Navy. 1/28 scale Spandau MG for your Dr 1. Here's the link for Model Monkey goodies:https://www.model-monkey.com/1-28-aircraft

May need some strong vision augmentation, such as an Optivisor or similar. I use mine over my glasses, too. Takes a little practice trying to apply paint or glue, since your depth of view is off a bit with the device. Have fun and don't try to paint more than a handful at a time. Had to do that when I worked on a club project building N Scale (1:160) buildings with double hung windows. Nearly went cross-eyed doing those 4 wood and 2 clear plastic part windows .

Nice grognard in the bearskin chapeau. I take it he's the Elite Guardsman?

Salute smartly and carry on, Popeye. Your Fokker is looking good. Nice to be able to break up all the black. I painted an SR-71 for a kid once and wanted to do up the exhausts as burnt metal. He wanted all black. Oh, well.
-
Excellent work as usual, Greg. Nice, walking the deck with some shade and a breeze. County Class for my request, Greg

Ja, Bitte ein Bit! Noch ein mal!

Nice job on the track section. Looks good. One item to add additional realism would be to dribble a faint black line of grease and oil approximately in the middle of the track. Yes, that area in winter can be brutally cold. I lived in Bitburg, Germany, for 3 years. Up in the Eifel.

Very nice mini-tutorial there, EG.
-
Reenactments or land warfare in the Napoleonic Era? I started reading Cornwell's Sharpe's series years back and got hooked on the Peninsular War novels. Several other authors cranking out some good stuff. Nasty guerilla warfare across the area. Small British and Portugese units versus Napoleon's very capable Marshal's. All very interesting. Osprey has a booklet on the Peninsula War if your interested in the basic history.

Nice reflectivity, EG.
-
Nicely done, OC. Spitfires make up into gorgeous birds.
-
Amen to that. Chow before combat sorties was a must. Might be your last good one.

Happy Birthday, brother!
