Evening all, You know I did wood decking on my Warspite build? well discovering 1/700 is a different animal - talk about fiddly, so what have I done? first I primed the whole weatherdeck area, then after drying I found my AP507A mixed some into my airbrush and sprayed a few thin coats over, it needs a small amount of light sanding on a few hi spots, then after letting it dry, I then mixed up some Corticene by mixing Brown, Buff and some Red, then I brushed it on keeping it to the outer edges of the Corticene. I was on a roll so I decided to have a go at the decking section to the rear of the deck, as I said - talk about fiddly and delicate. So this is the outcome so far. OC.

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.

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.

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.
