Thankyou Tom, I have been using a travel iron and Chuck's edge bending method. Slow is standard for me and planking, so I have a couple of othe builds on the go, to have the odd break from it now and again. -
Well since I've been back at the bench I've been dividing my time between this, Winnie and my non ship models. Mainly been painting the deck fittings and making ladder mk3, this is because I saw Chuck's ladders for Winchelsea and thought they looked better than my chunky creations, so a leaner version is being made. Thanks for all your comments, likes and looking your head round the door😉 Cheers Ps photos when I get something to show😏

It's been awhile since I've done much to Winnie, what with Christmas and stuff but I am getting back on with her, and have started the internal fairing, which as most of you know is very awkward, dusty and tedious. Also having to wait for dry weather as it's being done outside. Hopefully I'll be back on the lower hull planking by February. There's no photos as I don't think pictures of clouds of sanding dust need preserving. Til next time, Cheers

I completely agree with all the advice and comments above, with the additional fact, it's your project and if it looks good to you, it probably will look good to us, as with everything we are our own worst critics! I for one can't wait for you to get started 😁
-
You snuck this one through Jack 😉 Looks real good on there with the half track
-
Even with the flash the water looks super, as you say, the details will finish it off. Very nice work, I think you've cracked it EG😉
-
Yes I would have thought it should be ok with two coats over that primer.
-
I'm not sure how you'd do that as I always used based figures, for movement in the wargames, but I guess placing them in the wet filler would work so long as you worked out the positions beforehand
-
You may have purchase an artillery piece or a cart in 28mm? scale to do the ruts. Just for wheel width to be right. Good excuse to get cannon though 😄
-
Just a suggestion Jack, when I used to do yellow on my grey plastic miniatures I primed them first with an off white/cream, made for a better cover without brightening the yellow too much. As I say just a thought.

One of the reasons I went German😂 easier camo painting. Don't know what I'm going to do 'when' I get to the IJN aircraft 🤫
-
Hammock slung, I'm in. Nice subject 🙂
-
Perhaps a tad darker but without the flash it looks fine, the white caps will change the look too. Could you use a translucent darker blue as a second coat?
-
I'll have to get some brown paint, it's now on my paints to buy list😉 Thanks for the input, much appreciated
-
The scenics and farm buildings will look great! A suggestion for the road is fine coat ready mixed filler with a touch of sand added, that way you can add wheel ruts before it sets. My twopence worth. Hope your brother gets well, and also gets some help when he gets home.
-
Very nice Glenn, looks like your proxxon mill was worth the outlay, so that's another thing on my wishlist 🙄😂
-
Cold has put a stop to my work so I've done a tiny bit, tried a khaki and OD mix, much better imo colour looks better without the lighting on it. Also painted the running gears tyres after dusting the wheels with khaki. Thanks for the likes and popping in. Cheers 😉👍

Superb piece of artillery, the detail you've added is simply stunning. Excellent work!
-
Thanks Ken Yes the green is supposed to be khaki, I'm going to redo with a khaki/olive mix. Thank you brother, the new toy is pretty nifty, I'm going have fun practicing, makes a good reason for increasing the collection 😁
-
Jack it was the lighting as you can see in the 2 following photos
-
Thanks Jack, hmm I see what you mean, it is more yellow in real life, honest, I think it may be my lighting in the room. The green definitely needs more definition, I may use a bit of olive drab in it. Thank you both. I like it as it is quicker to cover an area and with practice I can only get better (I hope). I think it will be extra useful when I get round to the Corsair.

Well managed a hour or so on painting, although half of that was cleaning the airbrush. I am quite pleased with the very first attempt on an actual model, even if I say so myself ☺ I used tamiya desert sand and a first pass of the camo pattern in khaki. I personally think the green needs to be darker. More soon, thanks for looking in and the likes🙂 PS fees good to be back at the bench after the last two weeks. Cheers
-
Great job Kevin, I'm loving the camo paintwork! these Pacific campaign aircraft both Japanese and US just look so good.
-
Sorry to hear that, at least the company are sending you a replacement 😉 Hopefully you get this one, else the KGL will be wanting to start a war if you can't keep them busy😋
