You must surely be hand painting as well Greg - no way you could mask off areas for spraying at this scale with all those small bits. OC.

Evening all - so between painting wood bits around the house (did down one side of the stairwell today) I have managed to put some paint on my little drummer, normal precedure - I started with the Black primer this was heated to speed up drying time, then I started with the face basic light skin coat first (couple of coats) then the hands - this was followed by a wash then more light skin followed by more of a rosey pink for the cheeks and slightly darker for the mouth, then the Shako cover got a couple of coats of Matt Black pom pom Red, and hair painted Brown then the side Brass straps, then it was time to do the White body straps.

Takes a good meal and the total release of the TC remote aided by lots of visits to the kitchen to keep our admirals lubricated. OC.

Yep its a 2.5 Inch brush - its my fave decorating brush - I used to decorate for a living when I was younger hotels mainly, I had more equipment back then but to be honest I just want to make this job a low fuss attempt, its going OK taking it a stage at a time and so far no mess at all even with no sheets down or newspaper cutting in where the skirting meets our carpets is ok all down to a good brush I learned over the years. OC.

Indeed Mark, trouble is I am waking up parts of me I have not used for ages - kind of got out of condition and lazy lol, I have Six doors to paint both sides Seven Door Frames the whole lengths of skirting including down the staircase - but trying to do it clean without splashes so I am using my trusty small brush - Hard wearing emulsion on the doors and satinwood on the frames and skirting. Down stairs is done. OC.

Evening all, I managed a couple of hours on the build this evening, I couldn't do more as I am in the middle of a house paint and its taking up all my time and energy "boy do my limbs ache after so long of none use" so straight on with painting the back packs, I had already painted the Great Coats next was the Brown of the actual packs - after drying these I worked on the straps then a bit of touch up, still a fair bit more to do. OC.

About the NRG
If you enjoy building ship models that are historically accurate as well as beautiful, then The Nautical Research Guild (NRG) is just right for you.
The Guild is a non-profit educational organization whose mission is to “Advance Ship Modeling Through Research”. We provide support to our members in their efforts to raise the quality of their model ships.
The Nautical Research Guild has published our world-renowned quarterly magazine, The Nautical Research Journal, since 1955. The pages of the Journal are full of articles by accomplished ship modelers who show you how they create those exquisite details on their models, and by maritime historians who show you the correct details to build. The Journal is available in both print and digital editions. Go to the NRG web site (www.thenrg.org) to download a complimentary digital copy of the Journal. The NRG also publishes plan sets, books and compilations of back issues of the Journal and the former Ships in Scale and Model Ship Builder magazines.
