IThe crate is coming along nicely and see those years of hand painting miniatures is paying off.   Kevin

Thanks Kevin😁 yes the uk distributor came good and sent the parts, probably waited 3 or 4 weeks

I cheated though......I bought a mask set.

It's  not cheating it's being sensible 🤣😋

Thanks for looking in 👍

I mentioned this on Craig's log,  but have you seen the movie Midway?  there are some great shots of the Dauntless,  as well as the Zero......and even a Japanese bomber.  the carrier shots were really neat too  

Yep I've seen the film, really good! But for a great Pacific campaign war film you got go a long way to beat Tora, Tora, Tora. If they remade that today with CGI effects it'd be a blockbuster 😁😉

Welcome to MSW 

welcome to MSW 

It's a gorgeous little boat, you have done great work with Chris's kit😀

Tis the masking,  I'm too tight to buy a canopy paint mask so have attempted to make my own from tamiya masking tape,  a lot of tiny little squares and triangles to cut out  but it is getting there, just 6 more pieces to make!  My scalp and few hairs are undamaged as is the canopy, so don't worry unduly gentlemen. 

Thankyou for your concern over my mental health 🤪😱

Thanks OC 

Hi again Eamonn, your fair cracking on now!😉

How's the new shipyard now that you've had a bit of time to settle in??

I'm looking forward to seeing Ballahoo in all her glory.

Cheers 😁👍

Another day of lockdown and I'm glad to say the weather is quite decent so been outside sanding  Winchelsea bulkheads. I've not forgotten about the dauntless but only doing little bits at a time so I've still got something to do in the coming days!

So the main landing gear has been fitted and I've attempted to make a paint mask for the canopy. 

For the likes and comments I thank you. 👍

Cheers 😁

I'll post some photos of the canopy if it works out, but for now take my word for it that it is fiddly, frustrating and may get binned amid muttered cursing and hair pulling 🤬(scalp scratching)

Nice start! 

Very nice, detailing is super,  methinks you do yourself an injustice 😊👏

Thank you very much, OC!

 

I realized today that the ship’s boats by Mantua are horribly out of scale and inaccurate, so I will scratch build my own.

There you go again ! you're a glutton for punishment 🤣🤣🤪 have fun and stay safe

Well you've got 3 to choose from🤣.

Speedy is looking very nice btw.

And it depends on what kits Chris brings out!!!!

Thanks Edward. Hope you and your family are doing well during this time of chaos.

We're all ok though not seen my daughters or grandkids for over a week (apart from video calls).

Hope everyone is doing well with you also.

Stay safe and keep modelling 👍😊

Looking good Craig 👍😉

Sounds like you are getting on top of things now Lou 🙂. Reading what you're going through makes me realise how lucky I am that my  kids have grown up and gone!

Anyway keep your chin up and stay safe 👍😉

Thankyou gentlemen 

Welcome to MSW 

The planking is exceptional!! Looking superb 👍

More time "playing "

The sea blue has been slightly lightened and the final coat applied. Masking has been removed and it's not too bad with only a bit of bleed on the nose.

I'll touch up the few bits tomorrow. 

Till then thanks for the likes. 

Cheers 😏👍
