  1. 1/200 Vanguard (Britains Last BB Ship) would be awsome, the scale one in the museum in London is amazing. Superb work you are doing by the way. OC.
  2. I have an idea - Craig is building/re-working his swimming pool - you could test your boat there - sure he wont mind. OC.
  3. Evening all, this eve - I got round to trying abit of shading, only issue I had with it is the brown wash is enamel (and smelly) I have a bottle of thinners that fankfully is odourless (why the wash couldn't be the same), anyway I used a fine brush and just gently worked it in leaving very little claen up, I also painted the top of the countermeasures table and arials and the rubber shiled around the barrel seal was painted Black, I did the same to the Hull concentrating alot around the engine covers. When it is dry tomorrow I will have a go at some dry brushing with some dust wash. OC.
  4. Evening all, I have finished the Goalkeeper by building and fitting the site unit - this has a clear site section that was glued inside the the back of the glazing was painted a silvery purple color then the PE pieces were added, just needs painting next. OC.
  5. That is looking Superb you have both those colours bang on right - AP 507B Admiralty Medium Grey (RN 02) & AP 507C Admiralty Light Grey (RN 03) and the armour looks perfect through the paintwork - you really are doing a fine job of the Ole Lady. OC.
  6. Alas No, if I need to spray it has to be with Tamiya rattle cans and that means one thing - outdoors dictated by the weather. OC.
  7. Looks good to me - lets hope we see some of them started in the other builds section where us - Tank. Plane, Car, Dio, Figure builders hang out aswel. OC.
  8. Some lovely kits in your stash also - that span most of my interests, good luck with the build - its been many years since I went over the real ship. OC.
  9. I am liking that Alot mate - the shading is going to look fab - so wish I had been able to spray mine. OC.
  10. Indeed Lou, this one is designed to be used from inside the buttoned up turret using the sights inside, using both optical and thermal sights, but also used in a more manual use also. OC.
  11. Thanks Ken, still got the sight and thermal sight to go on it yet before it can be painted/weathered. OC.
  12. Evening all, abit more progress today - seems like hours and not much done, still on the Goalkeeper. OC.
  13. Evening all, today I started on some of the fiddly bits on the turret - first I made the counter measures table and associated aerials, then after this was painted underneath and legs - its was glued inplace, it will have the rest of it painted when the glue fully hardens, next I have started making the 7.62 Goalkeeper RCMG - this is made up from many parts and includes some quite difficult stages, its about a third finished. OC.
  14. I think thats the window Mark, didn't they used to have a half way hinged window in those? OC.
  15. Dont know if this might help - it looks like it shows the different decks and frame point locations - perhaps like timber runs on a wood warship - perhaps they might go to alternative frames for strength. OC.
