I've seen the dazzle from the Mahomet before at art class. It really is one of the best examples of that specific application dispite the bleeding, you have done a remarkable job on the camouflage. On the plastic kit I'm working at currently, I smoothed down the edges of the masking tape with a q-tip. That helped considerably against bleeding. I also cut the masking tape off the boat. I made a template from the sides drew in the shapes after which I transfered that to the tape, which I stuck on some plastic, and after cutting moved it to the hull. I have to add that mine was a lot less intricate, so hardly if at all worth comparing Safe travels and happy holidays to you too- 238 replies

do you have a video??? Jaw droppin' impressive. You must be a sick man or a glutton for punishment ...

still at it ... I like the details, both parts, as well as clours. It's turning out very realistic

What with ... for there are plenty of things I need to help myself with ... Ken, I do not give a rats you-know-what about that. When you live , or lived for a long time in an urban neighbourhood with lots of (truck) traffic, you breath even worse fumes. Considering the time I lived in Rotterdam, I'd sooner die from that, than from CA fumes. Work gives me more stress than what CA can cause. So don't worry mate. Besides, when the time comes, it comes.

Sorry to hear about the laptop. Nasty buggers those colds ;: hope you get it sorted out quickly

Lovely job on the brass, Michael. If you find it hard to get leather to take the shape you want it to, try moistening it (with e.g. a spunge and luke warm water), shape it around the form, and let it dry. It is what a lot of saddlers do for amongst others certain parts of a saddle, runners, and some loops

You could have used polystirene for the posts ... Evergreen has got quite a selection of shapes, and sizes. Looking good though. She starts to look less like a tub

Thanks for the likes and comments gents. As always greatly appreciated. Lou, with reference to one of your previous posts concerning crew, thanks, but I'll think I'll stick to model masochism or PPEPP ... plastic, PE, putty, & paint ( I know I forgot glue and CA). Yes the third destroyer ... got another box waiting, but it'll have to wait a bit longer as there is SMS Seydlitz coming up. Greg, interesting choice of ship. I, however, might start on the Arno XI I have gathering dust for over a decade and a half. A change in basic building material. Besides, winter is coming and airbrushing will get hard, wood makes for a nice alternative. Furthermore, I'll need to do some more PE on Musashi, which I've been postponing, in the knowledge I'll be getting headaches

Hmmm, breach of copyright ... unless quoted where to find, and the name of the owner .... She does look good, doesn't she .... that's the first build from Greg I followed. I remember the problems with the aireals .... Getting back to the Kriegsmarine, you can actually lookup SMS Konig, of which there is a multitude of images, both real as for models. All of these early German battleships were very much alike, but for the armament, and even that looked alike ...

I do both Osmosis, however currently just a wee bit of plastic. The quantity of saw dust, however, far exceeds the curly wurlies. t was a balmy 11C/51.8F They could, but usually out of necessity (attack in whatever form), as manouvrability, and speed were compromised Bigger ... nah, to easy ... no fun in that. for somewhere along the way of turning into "native???" Americans that typical dry British humour got stripped off/lost ...

Nobody ever is ... I just jumped in meself with the Vendetta build log. It's a lot easier building together

Gents, thanks for the likes Thanks Denise ... saw in one of your logs you had a change of name ...? appreciated. Tomorrow I'll make some time to prime some more parts, so I can fill the empty deck space ... whenever that will be ... work is waiting as well ...

You are so wrong about that mate ... I pick on whom ever I want to. However, you are just such a lovely victim ... you really play the part ... Osmosis, why don't you join in the build fun ...? Get yerself a kit, and the after market stuff and dive right in ...
