Thank you very much Mike. The east European kit companies have some intriguing subjects and I rather overindulged. Most look like short builds but that just moves the problem from too many boxes to too many on display. alan

Thank you OC. I find the painting to be very absorbing and time passes quickly. I’m enjoying this far more than I expected alan
-
Nice. You do great with the 3d printing alan

These are great little things to absorb time. Its so easy to just do a little more, and maybe a little more.... This is moving along rather quickly. I think I might be assembling the pieces tomorrow if I get some time. I added details to the main figure and I like how its coming out. I think I need a lighter red to highlight the bows to make them stand out a little better. Then I started on the head and worked flesh tones and the beard. I added a gloss coat to the helmet and I will add a little black was once the rest of the head is complete. The moustache is a little untidy at this point. I have rather set myself up by enlarging these shots to this level. The actual face is about 1/3 inches in height. Thank you for looking in, the likes and helpful comments Alan

Thanks Jack. I decided to leave well alone but I have a few more of these that feature armour so I will be using the polishing compounds again soon. Alan
-
After a gloss coat I added a black wash around the detail and then followed up with some dark and light rust washes.. I need to touch up teh propellor but otherwise the submarine is ready for a matte coat and mounting onto the base. Thanks for looking in and all teh likes and comments Alan

Lovely work Mike. It looks really nice but it does seem to be a tough kit if you want an accurate result. Alan

Hi Mike, 1/44 is a new scale for me. I have one or two aircraft in that scale that I can't afford space for at 1/72 or bigger. I'm curious to see how they turn out. Alan
-
Thank you Patrick. Something different for me Alan
-
I always thought the Condors were graceful aircraft. The kit looks pretty basic so it will be mostly a painting exercise. Alan
-
Beautiful work Mike with such small parts. They look very neatly constructed. Very interesting subject too Alan

Thank you very much OC. Its a treat to paint although I need frequent rests to let the eyes cool down a bit. The nail brush suggestion has proved very valuable too Alan
-
Thank you very much Jack. The green polishing compound arrived today so I might give the helmet one last polish but I think its not bad as it is. The collar under the head is a bit fragile and I am reluctant to break it off chasing perfection Alan
-
Thank you wefalck. Everything I have found says that it would have been polished metal, no silver doped surfaces. Thank you very much for the input and links Alan

I added further coats of yellow glaze to the jacket. I also notices a mould line on one of the legs in yesterdays photos so I filed that off and built up teh colour there too. I have added glaze to teh breeches and I think they are good so its onto the detail Following some very helpful input from @Jack12477 I used jewelers rouge tip on Q Tip to further polish the casque. Its coming up quite nicely. I may try one more iteration. I added some white primer to the face to bring up the details ready for the flesh tones. Thanks for looking in and the likes and comments Alan
-
Thanks Jack I found what I think is a small stick of jewelers rouge in a box of Dremel accessories and used it to good effect. I do have one of those micro engravers and may do another attempt using that. Thanks for the great tips. Alan
-
Spectacular work. You have built a beautiful model. Really lovely paint finish. Great photos too alan
-
I masked the hull and sprayed the light grey upper hull colour. The masking produced a nice crisp line. I added the PE bilge keels which will need to be painted and then I will add some rust and washes to bring out the detail. I painted the seabed and that is now ready for submarine Thanks for looking in and the likes and comments Alan

Thanks Mike The air brush did spit a little; I'm not sure if its getting too hot in the garage where the painting takes place. Maybe I need to add some retarder. Alan

Thank you very much Jav I really enjoy the seascapes but they take up too much room. I need to go back to just doing the model on its own. Maybe alan

Q Tips! They are sitting on the work bench and I never thought of them. Thank you so much Jack. I just ordered a three pack of compounds from Amaon which has the rouge and the green polish so I will try them as soon as they arrive. Thanks again Alan
