Must have been an off day, mate ... it excludes you from being German as those usually are very thorough Those golf balls on their tees, ... range finders? If the ladders are the type you have to put the steps at the propper angle you really must have had a ball kicking them into shape- 345 replies

Mark loves to paint the sky, he is just modest Jo, you've got the modelbuilder's attitude. You will get through, the first build is the hardest, it is often said. Well, lass, I find all my builds hard, and painting aint easy. Fortunately, I can spray layer upon layer, upon, layer, upon layer, until I changed the scale of my build to full size. As long as I learn something I don't mind. Try to find out what went wrong. When you pull off the paint with your masking tape, the adherence of your tape is to strong. Plastic builders often try to get a less sticky masking tape, or - this will sound odd - put the tape on their forhead, or on their trousers first before applying it to the build to diminish the initial strong stickiness, and hence, avoid pulling off the paint layer(s) I use several brands of masking tape, however, lately I am using the blue or purple "home and garden" painters tape, as those seem to be less sticky than e.g. Tamiya (I use the latter on bare plastic) Keep you spirits up, and go for it, I look forward to see the result of your renewed effort slàinte

If it should be outside for sailing, can't you bring it inside the shrouds for storing?

What is the advantage of glue penetrating the wood, whilst you want to bond two surfaces to one another. It is not that you need "inner bonding", and neither - at least to my knowledge - will the penetrated glue give additional strength to the bond, like e.g. tenons would. Please, correct me if I am wrong

To me they looked higher. However, if the a chain link on it's side can get through, it's high enough. I like the grey, shouldn't use black on the windlass

Very lucky on the small misalignment. The deck does indeed look very well. Follow the yellow brick road ...

shape some sides, to bring it up, and than cover it. The "V" is to sharp it could jam the chain ... If you make it higher as per Kevin's photograph, you will only need a vary shallow rounding, instead of the sharp "V" you are working with. I like those images Rcboater!

Prepping the hull. Drilled the holes for the torpedo net suppot beams, just the port side. Oddly enough, the starboard side is off scale by 2 mm(!) I've decided I've just got to live with it. Work is pestering me. Somehow the real important things in life get the least attention! Pictures will follow ... after I've taken them.

Well you should know (he said as a typical male chauvinistic pig) You do not need to sand the varnish down, just a light rub will do to cover the part with green

Very well done. You aren't doing so bad yourself on the weathering, Yves. Painting rust is always difficult. You can do chipping, or use rust powder which you add with a brush (dry or moistened) or a combination. Spraying it all will be near impossible to get what you want. You should als take into account how the rust forms. Good effort though

You will probably glue the chain down to the deck. If so cut the last eye at an angle in half and glue the half to the respective "openings". It will look somewhat ... natural ... Your buffing turned out quite nice!

The only thing missing from the flight deck down seems to be the water ... weathering turned out real good
