    Done a little bit more, intermediate blue on the other wing and a coating of white had to stop as I'm having trouble with the airbrush clogging up. So it's having a full clean with the parts soaking in cleaner fluid. Thanks for dropping by and the 👍. Cheers

    To be honest, I put it to one side whilst I concentrated on Winchelseas stern and Q galleries and then I was tempted to the card side by persons unnamed 🤔😂😇 Then I thought I need to get the F4U-1A moved on. I'm sure you'll have a fine time in Sheringham. Enjoy! Are you going to take a trip on the NNR steam trains?

    I'm in!

    I'm present. Do you mind if I take the hammock again! Looking forward to this one.

    Thanks for the suggestions, I'll have a try on the fuselage as I don't like the freehand attempt I've tried on it it is a bit too fuzzy the wings are glue on and the gaps are filled Also I've put a coat of intermediate blue on the underside of one wing Thankyou for all the likes, comments and looking in. Cheers

    Very nice!! Both look really good.

    Just a little update, I've had a bit of a practice run on the transition of the colours. the engine cowl was the perfect practice piece. this was a freehand experiment, with no masking. Between the two blues I have touched it up with a brush. From the white to intermediate blue it's left as was sprayed. I'll be interested in your opinions, for or against, any suggestions as to wether there are better methods to achieve a softer line between colours will be gratefully received. Thanks for the likes and interest. Cheers

    I'm in too!

    Looking real nice EG, you're a braver man the me, I'd have probably knocked it of that decking handrail 😬 The BMF really shines (no pun intended), exceptional job! Can't wait to see this on its dio base.

    No, it's not just you😊😉I assumed they were a flat/matt finish but it doesn't mention on the bottle, anywhere that I can see. personally I quite like the finish of the Mig colours.

    A bit of colour on her first coat of sea blue. I'm waiting for some acrylic putty to be delivered and the wings will be attached and then get another coat on. this is Mig/ammo sea blue, it's not as flat as the same colour by tamiya. Thanks for the likes and looking in. Cheers

    Cool looking contraption🙂. I love the camo paint job! Very nicely done Alan.

    The tiny tubes are also my nemesis, and swapped them for either brass or toothpicks. The framework looks very nice!
  14. Edwardkenway
    Is she on her way to the south Atlantic?
  15. Edwardkenway
    I'm going to have a go with my airbrush and try to give the transition of the Colours a softer edge than the ones on my SBD
  16. Edwardkenway
    It's good things are a little more settled now, but as the others have said, get that follow up with your GP, and look after her OC😉 Take care and stay safe.
  17. Edwardkenway
    Well, it's been a while since I worked on this one. I'm hoping to get a bit of colour on her and get the wings fixed on I'm thinking something similar to this one But any suggestions are welcome. thanks for your patience. Cheers

    An absolutely stunning rendition of a fine frigate, with amazing detail. My hat is doffed! Thank you Chuck.

    So, I managed to complete the rigging, fit the gun and then realised that the windshield needed fitting 🙄. So very carefully in order not to snap any cables or knock the gun off, glued the very last piece on. That's it, my first serious card model finished 😊 There are plenty of lessons learned, mainly to take a bit more care with glue, especially the CA used to attach the rigging. Taking more time to match the colours for the edges, is also something I'll need to do next time. All in all, it's been a fun little build, I've enjoyed building this plane. It was fairly straightforward, and would be a very suitable subject for novice card modellers. Now for some more photos. Thanks to everyone who has followed along and for the likes, your input is greatly appreciated. @ccoylegets a special mention because, it's all his fault😁 Till next time Cheers

    Stunning looking ship Glenn, it's been a joy to follow, albeit silently.

    Lovely clean planking Frank, beautiful work all round.

    Rain has stopped play, early day from work, so I used some unexpected free time to put together the Lewis MG The tweezer ping happened as I was trying to attach the handle, so improvising and overcoming, a small piece of brass wire became the handle. It goes without saying, the barrel is brass too, I've still not managed to roll the small tubes satisfactorily 😬. I'll keep practicing though 😉. Just have darken the edges. Thanks for looking in and the likes. Cheers
  24. Edwardkenway
    Nicely done, Dan👍

    Bit more done with the tailplane rigging another long look at the rigging diagram and I think that's it for the rear of the plane. So before I move onto the wings I've got a couple more bits to do, starting with the weapon. the version I've done has the Lewis gun. To be honest I have toyed with the idea of buying the aftermarket weapons, but that would feel too much like cheating😇🤭 As always thanks for visiting, commenting and all the likes. Cheers
