  1. I did a silver 10% overspray then a gloss coat. Decals added, I’m not going to add the big decals for the numbers as it just won’t work with what I’m trying to achieve (a 1907 ship and a 1917 blimp).
  2. Different width masking tape. Silver overcoat, then mask again for a full day, tan spray, remove mask, remasking at the moment
  3. I also have this kit for a ‘one day’ build
  4. Ok, still too rough, completely sanded it back and a dark grey which will show the ribs later. All day masking.
  5. So whilst I’m awaiting some stuff in the mail, onto the blimp. red primer coat and some sanding white primer coat, but more sanding to go
  6. Furled torpedo nets; So I ended up with 1mm Tamiya braided wire (obviously for remote control cars ), I pulled out the rubber inner, then a primer coat. I tied (wrapped) very thin wire around it was well to break up the pattern. I tried dark brown/red but wasn’t happy, so I painted it flat black and then various enamel rust washes. This will run along the length of the hull on a platform.
  7. I’m trying to get some back ground stuff done, lots of fittings getting pre painted. As the ship will have rolled torpedo nets I need to find a decent representation. So braided wire, two types to sit on the Photo etch steel shelves. I’ll paint both and go with what looks best, but after pulling out in the rubber inner of the Tamiya tube makes it sit better
  8. I just leave them open, the scale does not warrant it. What you can do after painting is run the sharpened pencil on the inside to represent a inner porthole ring
  9. Weathering done on the main guns, 12 pounders will be added tomorrow. I’ve added the unpainted kit ones as well
  10. Mate it depends where you live for taxes and shipping. You have to shop around the world
