OC.

Agreed OC. Also you're able to sand 1mm walnut  a great deal more than you think, so when you think you're done do it again. 

I got that from someone (can't remember who) on here on my 1st build.

and you, Sir, are doing a fine job.

As ErnieL said it's  a good job, and will look even better with more planking done😊👍

Great painting, very interesting subject too, I've seen plenty of mutiny era Indian army but very rarely late Edwardian/George V era

I would be interested to see more!!

Indeed, your boat looks very nice! Yep, your description of model boat building seems accurate enough.

Welcome to MSW!

Despite any errors you've made, that is a fine model for your first attempt! Don't beat yourself up.

 

There are some great kits out today that even exceed the quality of the one you bought. I really do hope you can share a new build log with us in future.

 

 

Totally agree!! Welcome to MSW

Eamonn - this is superb. I wholeheartedly recommend the Winchelsea as your next build. No way will you be batting too high up the order!

Pour yourself a Guiness - you deserve one.

 

All the best

Fred

Eamonn I couldn't agree more, I think you'd do a fantastic job with Winnie😊

Ballahoo is coming along beautifully!!!

The dusty bits are just starting, Edward.    There's two decks, the framing that needs to be added, and planking.

Yes I don't know what I was thinking when I posted that.🤪

Realized my goof when you reposted. 😖

I'll get my coat😂

Hello, after reading that you're going to kit bash to make Sparrow from the Richard Bolitho series I have got to watch.

Hope you have fun getting there 😁

Looks great Jim, paintwork looks really sharp 😁👍

Looks like another good model on the way Craig and I never realized the Israeli army used Shermans. The things you can learn with this forum 😁

We played Wooden Ships And Iron Men. Usually once a week or so on Tuesday. The day when we all had common time off. For me it was after a full shift on Graveyard before I went home to get some sleep. Once in a while we would do Richthofen's War or War Of  The Roses instead. One of the guys would take on anyone in Stalingrad So long as he was able to play the Germans. He LIVED for the day once a year or so where he would win and take Stalingrad! Jutland would have been good as well but like Mark said it took up a large room to play in and we didn't have the room needed.

 

Avalon Hill produced some pretty good games back in the day. I think Wooden Ships And Iron Men is still available as a digital game that you can play on your computer. And of course there is World Of Warships available these days.

I never played any of those but then I was stuck in the Napoleonic wars and the AWI which I preferred as you didn't need huge armies.

Hi Kenna and welcome to MSW, good luck with whatever you decide to build and HAVE FUN😁

Great work as always, I can't help but continue to be impressed with what you are doing with this build 😁😁👍

Looking good now Mark, bet you're glad the real dusty bit is done😁

Wont like that OC, hope you get everything sorted as fast as possible.

Nicely done. It looks ready to rumble. Can't wait for the diorama.

Yes I'm looking forward to seeing the dio.

It's a forerunner to the monster trucks!!, very nice model Craig 

The town of Iserlohn near Duisburg was mainly off white when I spent time there with my brother in law in the late 90's but in Hemer it was a dark salmon red.

I don't know if these will help? 

photos off the internet 

Hello again,  I'm putting this on hold for a bit as I've started a different one, soon as I get a bit more done on it I'll do a log for it.

Had a week off from the workroom and can't find the motivation for the Sherman's many small pieces at the moment. 

Cheers 

Looks good Jack, I would think the stucco would be a dirty white/ivory or a dirty cream/ magnolia colour as that seems to be the colouring that is most prolific in western Europe. Although as they are battle damaged a pale dirty grey would be good😊

@jdbondy I shall refer to this when I get round to cutting my holly tree down in September 

Lovely boat Chris, those 10years don't seem to have made a difference 😃

WOW EG beautiful motor.

Great job, and you've got the Admiral on side,😁

Now's the time to get the kit you always wanted 😏

Been a pleasure watching. 

Looking real nice, lovely painting and the treenails are superb 😁😁

I took that photo with a flash.

Here, I used the same photos and adjusted the light in photo editor. Do these look any better?

They look better Craig, great looking build😁

I love the camo affect   - how did you get the demarcation soft  between the two colours?

 

OC.

I was go to ask the same question. 

Thank you, hopefully I will be able to get some more materials next month. Still undecided about what wood to do Winchelsea with though. 

Amazing dio KP, can't wait to see the next one 😃
