Yep I hear you Mike, lots of instructions to "Drill hear cut that" but no wording to say if its needed and why? and I agree with the PE there are a seperate set of instructions to use, guess we need both instructions out at the same time to cross reference between them. OC. -
Hi Craig, hope thanks giving is going well for you and the family, yep thought I would make a start on her, yep I brought the delux kit and got a discount from the same seller to have the wood deck sent with it, I think I will be ok with the upper in place as I understand the deck below the upper was painted Dark Grey/Semtex or similar, and the wood deck fits in front on the forecastle area and ontop under the boats, so my Idea is to add all the small parts / ladders etc first then I will prime and AP507A Dark Grey all over and inside the lower deck (from where I can get it to spray in there) In an Ideal world I should have got the Flyhawk mask - but I was not aware of it when I brought the kit, so for the painting the upper deck Corticene / Semtex I will probably brush paint the Corticene on as I would imagine It would not have been really smooth, that way I can carefuly cut in around the fittings and possibly put a fine tape strip down for a straight edge. Well that the plan. OC.

Evening all, did a bit more this evening - I put the rest of the inner roof supports, then Two side pieces were fitted - very delicate work, then I glued the main section down onto the deck. OC.

Evening all, I did abit more on my Hood this eve - firstly I drilled a few port holes (not many) as I want to portray here getting ready for action, should have seen the size of drill bit I needed tiny ....... Then following the instructions it calls for work on the underside of the roof of the main deck - these contain some nice details that need gluing in place. Pic also shows the lovely moulded details on to top of the main deck. OC.

You know mate - I can't wait till you start your mast work on this (I know you will) if your building so far has anything to go by it will be superb. OC.

I too use Masters to clean my brushes after every use and often inbetween different colours - helps to keep their spring back and shape. OC.

Evening all, I got some good progress done this eve - nothing really to explain except the props and rudder are now fitted - quite straight forward, this completes the hull it will just need priming then putting a side. OC.

So I guess my next stage is to fit the prop shafts and A frames and the Rudder - then I think the hull can be primed, Im going to use my Vallejo Black primer as it seems to do the job, and will be a good base for the anti fouling Grey, I might use Vallejo's London Grey for this (need to check how dark it is compared to upper hull colour) OC.
