I would probably want to get a really nice one which would run me about $300 for that price I could get a nice harder and Steenbeck Infiniti airbrush. But I was just curious -
the black cylinder is a rechargeable battery and a compressor. Apparently it can spray a consistent 25 psi for 40 minutes on a single charge. If that’s all true it’s a dream. -
I first painted in weathered everything plastic
then I had some PE work to do with the floater nets and the guns
and then those were ready for paint also
then finally when those were painted I could install everything onto the deck
Now onto the last section of the main deck
does anyone have any experience with cordless air brushes? I just seen them for the first time and I am very curious as to if they are good or not.

I have always wondered if other people do this or if I’m weird. I use the paper towel to suck up extra ca glue. Does anyone else do this?

Ugh, The dreaded ammo racks...
after thinking about it I decided to remove the tabs at the bottom of the ammo racks. It will make my life much much easier right now.
so now I can just rest the tub on a flat surface. Now when I insert the ammo racks they should already be in place at the bottom.
look at that!! I’m a genius!
Just glue it up. Now each new rack can just rest on the rack below it.
I was done in no time
though I don’t like that sloppy glue blob.
now onto paint.

I assembled the floater net baskets today. They were a joy to do! Really fun actually. I took a 2.5 mm rod, put it into my third hand and used that for the assembly. It worked great.
I accidentally smooshed one before gluing the legs on. 20 minutes of feverishly bending to try to fix it kinda worked. I did the best I could to save it. I’m sure you can notice which one it was.
that’s it for now. If you’ll excuse me I have some guitar to play😬

I’m sorry to hear bout your dad. It’s so awful. And to think I have to go thru that again when my mom goes. It’s so awful, especially right now. I can’t imagine during this pandemic.

One more thing I almost forgot to mention. Those ammo racks that go on the inside of the gun tubs. I really really really hate putting those in

Good morning,
so in case you haven’t noticed yet I’m focusing on the main deck going from front to back.
I have mostly finished the little section I was working on minus the guns. I will build them a little later.
I needed weights quicklyadd some ammo lockers and such and that basically done without the guns.
The next section I’ll focus on will be between these two red lines on the main deck only.
which includes two gun tubs
and four floater baskets
I think I have everything
i will keep chugging along.

Hey guys. Just a quick update. I’m all moved in and spending a lot of time at home so hopefully I get a lot done.
I painted a few more deck fittings, I’m now in the process of shading them. The close up on my new phone is amazing! So many flaws in my shoty work are now visible.
all I literally have to do all day is work on the MO and play with this.
more Soon, stay healthy.

Yes I tried looking for it myself but could not find it. He must of taken it down. I would have never been able to build it without that build log. It was a huge help.

Hey guys. Just a small update, nothing to exciting.
I was going to wrap thin ezline around the tiny reels but then gave up.
so I just painted them black. It looks ok.
then I could install some more deck fittings
I think these balconies should have been deck blue.
the deck is starting to fill in.
with that done I can move on. I’ll keep moving across the deck to the stern. I ruff cut out parts for the next section.
these have brass sticking out of the bottom that need to be filed down. There’s about 15 in total.
and after
thats it for now. See I told you it was nothing too exciting. See you soon.
