Thank you kindly Ken. OC. -
Thank you kindly brother. OC.

Evening all, I continued on the track on the one side - I measured the runs so far against the wheels and worked out how many are needed to Fit - I counted Ten more links - so back on the template tool and Ten more were knocked out (quite easy once you have a rhythm going) I had to stop at that point as they can not be joined together as they need to slide in position then joined. So I decided to start the paint process - Instead of doing a washy paint all over first I decided to go the careful route of just picking out the links and side pieces with a sandy flat alum colour - this was carefully brushed on to the centre run then both edges on the inside, I will mix some more paint tomorrow. It will be a good detraction from worrying as our little pooch goes into the vets tomorrow to be neutered in the morning she is 4 so we feel its a good time as we do not want her having puppies and I understand it has plenty of health benefits for female dogs. We will be worried about our baby though. OC.

McLaren M8B by CDW - Accurate Miniatures - 1:24 Scale
Old Collingwood replied to CDW's topic in Non-ship/categorised builds
Sounds like you have fallen on something really useful there mate. OC. -
Very clever mate - tell you what if you hadn't pointed then out one could not tell - what a great place to hide them, that is looking so sweet mate - take it easy with the PE sections for the bulwark side piece infront and around the 4.5in guns as they are so delicate - they do look superb when done though.

What a great idea - is it a similar theory to what I do by using a hairdryer? OC. -
That is Brilliant work mate - she is looking superb, let me take a guess where you cut the front part of the deck - where the front breakwater goes? that would be the same place I cut mine at for the same reason. OC.

Excellent work my friend - and with the rear artwork - amazing work. OC.
-
Good points brother. OC.
-
I think as long as the paint layers are thin they should still move - might also need a little bit of a "wiggle" to free them up a bit. OC.
-
Brother sounds good to me - we will leave the most difficult paint job to yeah - cuz we luv yeah bro. OC.
-
That will keep you busy mate - lots of detail to go on there. OC.

I have memorised some of the reporting points near to me but I also use aircraft apps like - https://www.adsbexchange.com/ https://planefinder.net/ They are great for tracking aircraft. OC.

That would be cool perhaps we could do the Three main colour versions - the sand - the european Three colour and the overall Nato Green version (I was tempted to do the Nato Green one) - I have this one -

Hope you get your op done on Monday and get a speedy recovery Ken, I will follow with great interest whne you can start the Abrams beast. OC.

@Egilman Thank you kindly brother - should look quite impressive when its all together and flat coated. OC.

Indeed mate - mine lifted from the glue under the peel back strip - in a few areas, I had to apply some force and use heat of a hairdryer to get it to stick back down, seamed to be around obstructions that was the worst. OC.

I have a portable radio scanner - got a few of my local frequencies dialed in - so I get familer with the local waypoints gives me a good indication if a certain plane is going to come close to me for my spotting/photography. On my lens mate - the lens is a 300.. prime its the Nikon 300 PF lens I have a 1.4 X convertor attached giving me a combined length of 420mm quite good for planes on airways with a bit of cropping. OC.
