Yeah, it's a bird farm. Way cool.

 

The only Langley models I know of are in resin.

Allegedly Trumpeter are going to make one as it’s in their upcoming projects in their catalog it they have a habit of falling through. I’ve seen the resin one and it’s a tad expensive.

Do I win a prize for the correct guess? 😎

Looking forward to your interpretation of Graf Zeppelin.

I bought the Very Fire update set for my Graf Zeppelin, but it's all packed away at the moment. A very interesting ship.

I don’t even know Very Fire made one? I’d love to see some photos. 

This is a massive build 

Hint

And off to the digital graveyard 

Now some comparisons 

This one’s done. 

No#1 son will be Rowing all winter and #2 will be playing rugby, plus the Rugby World Cup will be on. We have a new dog on order as well so life is busy. 

I really want to build the CV1 Langley that Trumpeter has promised but not yet released. Maybe next year. 

Nope. One obsession is enough. 

I’m really crap at little planes 

Vendetta was UK then went to Oz. France and Italy have some nice ships too. The Russian aircraft carrier would be a great build and now China is in the game too. 

You’ll all be happy to know I have purchased the next kit, plus aftermarket and done the research. I like to do only three of each nation; so far 

Russia

That’s massive! You’ll need a roller to paint her. 

Hmm.

Last AA gun arrived. Very nice and easier than the 5 star offerings. The netting comes with the upgrade. As this is a 1942 build there is nowhere near the amount of AA Guns that came in later variants or upgrades. 

Light rust on the hull plus some salt. No more than that for this build. I just need the borfors to arrive. Went to a lumberyard and bought some off cuts for a base. 

Railings and rigging done. 

Cattleman’s cutlet, roast potatoes and carrots. Delicious 

I’m doing alright! 

I think it’s lighting OC, this is such a dull paint job, I’ll do a better job on the final shots I promise. I kinda lost interest in this one about half way through as it’s a lot of plod. I’ll enjoy this build a lot more when I get to a bit of weathering. 

All the little bits thrown on, lots of touch ups to go, railings, and ship’s boats plus the last guns. Bit of rigging to go. 

Decals are tomorrows job, I’ll just give them a matte coat prior to weathering. I’ve been quiet as all these tiny pieces have just taken forever to collate, plus work, dayshift and dropping #1 son off at rowing at 0545 every other morning. Wife, #2 son and dog off to the beach for the end of Autumn and Easter so I’m at home alone to finish this off. 

So, about 5 days of throwing everything left to go onto the ship together, primer coat   then a grey coat. Tomorrow I’ll place the 445 decals on, then commence throwing everything on board. Should come together quickly now I expect. I completely stuffed the borfors and had to order another one. 

Or we’re too stubborn to stop....
