I'm liking that kevin, that wood paintwork has come out really well, and the weathering is really nice. OC. -
Evening all, some more progress - I finished putting the smaller items on the weather deck, and even stuffed the gaps under where the decking is, its now ready for priming then the first coat of Dark Grey, then I can paint on some corticene, before fitting the wood deck to the rear part of the weather deck. OC.

Wow mate - that is amazing what you are doing - there are so many complex curves - and using paper card - seriously can't get my head round it, keep going you are doing superb. OC.

Evening all, more work dome today - ammo lockers an dmore ammo lockers - some details and a PE vent. OC.

I forgot to mention - when I unwrapped the hull parts - they were bent up like a banana and the extreme bow nose point was crushed in, I was able to straighten the hull parts using the hair dryer pushing down on my table, and the nose section I pulled out with a round file - but it has left a slight split but that should fill with putty - no doubt from the crush the box got in transit. OC.

Tim could you use a punch to bury the pin then put a tree nail in ontop of it? OC.

Another splendid little tank - really nice mate. OC.

This is like a little baby version of when I built my Warspite build - anyone remember that one - OC.
-
Thanks Mike, even thinking a head to the weather deck - fix all the little bits like ammo lockers etc etc then paint all over first or leave them off paint / mask for the other colour then paint then fit the smaller parts - keeping the seperate build assemblies built and painted as su assemblies - lots of options.... OC.

Little confesion - during doing the decking pieces I managed to dislodge one of the stairs - yep it got crushed, but I was able to bend the handrails back and re glue it in place. OC.
-
That is looking so sweet. OC.
-
Thanks Mark, I will be honest - when I cut the wood section/s from the sheet and looked at it, I thought "no way wil I fit that in there" thats what made me come up with the idea to cut it into sections. OC.
-
Evening all, I think I have recovered my little problem - I used my wood decking I was able to cut the strips down to fit around the frame work, then instead of peeling the backing paper off - I glued them down using PVA - that allowed me some time to move them around, I also added a few washes of watery PVA on top to seal them in. OC.
-
Think I have done a boo boo but its too late to do anything about it - that area under the top mid shaip area - Should have been planked even have it in my wood decking pieces but can't get in there now "blobby heck"...... OC.
