Great to se you back OC. This is one of my favourite builds

Alan

Thank  you so much  Alan.

OC.

Good  evening all,  well   this  has   started  again  -  I decided  to  have a go  at re  top coating all  my figures  (about  60)  that  have already been  painted, but  have  retained  some slight  sheen to  the  paintwork,  so I  got  my  bottle  of  Lucky  Ultra Matt  and  (((Shook)))   the  living daylights  out of it, then using my  largest  best brush  I carefully  brushed over them  with  a  thin smooth  application  -   I have  done about Ten at  a  go  and  think  the finish  is  better.

I will  take some pics  when they are  all  done  so I can do a group  photo..

OC.

Superb  paintwork   -  looks   so real.

OC.

Very  nice work  - really   tidy  work.

OC.

Good to see   you back Denis,   sorry to hear  about  your   situation  -  hope  you  get that  roof  sorted soon.

OC.

So much intricate work  in this  Ron  -  its  looking really nice.

OC.

Thats  made a  big difference  -  they  really add   to the  details.

OC.

Some Superb detailing in that  kit.

OC.

Excellent work  -  so  intricate  and delicate.

OC.

Hi there  all,   I  decided  to  have  another   mess about with  my  photo  files  -  so  in  my Lightroom  I  cropped  a   few  then  lifted  the light  levels  added some   contrast  -  Black  levels  -  Colour  and  reduced  the  High lights   then I sent them into  my  Topaz   de noise   before  saving back into  Lightroom  where they had some  selective  sharpening  and  saved  back into my files.

Hope  you  enjoy.

OC.

Is  this  still  active  -  it  so  deserves  to  be.

OC.

This  is  looking so  Superb   -  keep  going  my friend.

OC.

How  did  I miss  this  build  -  serious  face palm  from  me  -  I will   follow  along  with  much  interest   -  lovely  job.

OC.

Glad  to  see  you  back  on this  -  its  going to  be  a  really nice  display piece when finished  -  keep   up  the  momentum.

OC.

Yep  -  she  is  a  fair  size   beasty  me  hearty

 

OC.

Nice  sharp looking kits  -  good  to see  you back  on some  ships.

OC.

Thet look  smart  -  they  really set  off the  woodwork.

OC.

What you could do   (Dont know if you have any Tamiya Tape)   is to  attach it around the  edge of the decks where  you want the  railings  to  go, then place the  railings  touching the  tape  -  but gently,  then  remove the  tape  (gently) when set,  this  might help  to keep the  railings in place till  set.

OC.

That is  looking so nice.

OC.

Superb job  - really   well   done.

OC.

Amazing work.

OC.

I have to use  my  back room  side unit  for mine  and it  still   over hangs  a  bit.

OC.

That  is looking  so realistic  - really nice work.

OC.

What a  lovely  dio  -  really  looking nice.

OC.

Lovely work.
