Most likely incompatible, it's possible the yellow did not adhere to the white and as the varnish started to dry it pulled it up -
Ah hah... it's tomorrow Augie.. so we haven't missed it yet... But just to get on the rapidly forming bandwagon... Happy Birthday, Sjors! Andy

Not a bad thing, I found (and you can sort of see) a small kink at the last second frame from the end. Nothing that I couldn't sand out later on, but had I been a bit more energetic sanding down the bulkhead, I could have avoided it altogether. Andy

Well.... You did it.... Not as hard as you first thought... Right? Andy

That's it really, it's too late to go messing with it now. Question is, how much of that explosive is still volatile enough to amplify any "controlled" demolition into a catastrophe. And in case anyone has any doubts as to the nature of explosives left under water, you can dive on various wrecks of British battleships sunk during the Galipoli campaign, all over them are rods of cordite that are still reactive. You just need to strike off the encrustations and they light off with a match. Andy

Can't say you haven't been busy.. As for the repair... a little trim piece here or there and everything will look fine. Andy

There aren't too many Far Sides I haven't seen... and they're all great

Sawdust comes with the territory.... looking forward to your build... I'm of the "resist the temptation" mindset... believe me... it takes a lot of resolve... intestinal fortitude and all that..... I've been sitting on my Confed for almost a year now.... I'm hoping I can last a little longer.... but...... Andy

Getting closer to the end every day, she's looking really good. Andy

I don't know if this will help give you some idea or not: http://modelshipworld.com/uploads/monthly_02_2013/post-34-0-31278200-1360953768.jpg I have some other photos that may help as well, if you'd like Andy

Coming from you, Sherry, or Robbyn, it's not quite as weird... So I'm hoping this whole could of insanity will now drift off to settle over some other unfortunate victim Andy

It was..... Until things got a little...uh weird... Hopefully it will return to shipbuilding in a couple of weeks or so...

I think you're hearing things.... Go back to your happy place.... Nothing to see here....

'Bout time you booted Sjors out of the workshop for a bit. Looking forward to your next update. Andy
-
That's fine.... I'm just gonna keep a close eye on you.....
-
Mmm.... not quite..... a little more space-y.....
-
You have to give Sjors some credit here... he exercised some considerable restraint by not saying anything... "A proper cup of tea would restore my normality" "We could talk about normality until the cows come home" "What is Normal?" 'What are cows?" Points to anyone who can figure out where that came from.....

Looking good so far! Andy

From what I've seen in photos, the destruction is incredible, but as you pointed out, given the magnitude, things could have been a lot worse. Houses can be rebuilt, material goods are replaceable. Glad you're ok. Andy

Larry, I'm still ready to pull a crazy-legs, and beat the feet outta here if necessary... Robbyn.. I don't see why you would blush, it wasn't your back side those crazies where after.... And the more I look at that last sentence.... the more disturbing it sounds..... Augie, Robbyn may be back.... but which way things may roll is still yet to be determined....Something tells me that if things where teetering on a precipice, she'd be the one to give that final subtle nudge and whoop, over she goes..... Andy

Nice work with the blue on the head rails... Highlights them very nicely and adds a hint of detail. I'm sort of indifferent to stern lanterns as a whole... I find that they can hide some of the nice carving work, but on models without carvings they can look ok, and bring a nice detail to make the stern look more interesting. Take your pick and do what makes you happy. Andy

This should be a very interesting project, can't wait to follow along.
