Evening all, more progress - firstly I glued down the Two seats then gave thier frames a few coats of Grey (still need the cushions painting) then I worked on the Two consol supports these have sone subtle wiring that after fitting I picked these out with Silver dry brushing, then it was the turn of the Instrument consol, this was given a few coats of Black then when dry it was decal time - these are Three seperate pieces for the instruments - they went down without fuss, then when set I brushed over a few coats of flat top coat. I then glued it in place and nest will be to paint the seat cushions. Bulkhead still just dry fitted. OC.

Mark will be along with the pop corn later - he now owns a Huge pop corn maker, that might have to sit on the deck also.😃 OC.

Thats a good start - and that frame looks like it will make a lot of difference in taking the worry out of any miss-aligned frames. OC.

Evening all, I got some good progress on this today, remember I had masked up? well I applied a few coats of a mid Grey then dried them - this allowed me to remove the tape fairly quickly, it turned out ok with just a tiny amount of seepage - just a quick touch up fixed this, then I decided to weather the floor a bit as it would have seen a lot of movement - basic Earth wash all over then using a wet brush I removed most of it - then finished off with a rag the dried - doesn't look too bad. Next was to work on the cockpit parts - simple process cut them off clean them up - glue in then down, then they were painted Grey/Black and dried, next I painted a few details and did a wash and a bit of dry brushing. The pic with the cockpit bulkhead is just dry fitted as it will go in when the seats are painted and fitted. OC.

Looking like a good start. OC.

Yep, I know some who would spend months even taking thier family on skirmishes they would turn into long holidays, you would see them all dressed fittingly. OC.

Also good for smoothing round masts using the inside curve. OC.

Was going to recommend heat with a plank heat bending tool - they type thats like an electrical soldering iron with a rounded section on the end to heat the planks - works well on soaked planks. OC.

What type of kit/kits are you building or want to build? Welcome by the way. OC. -
Indeed Roger and very costly if you take it to extremes, if you are just a basic pike man - its quite an easy and cheap way in - they will even lend you some gear/clothing till you can either maker your own/have someone make it for you or buy it. OC.

Evening all, I got a bit more done on the "Wokka Bird" first I glued the two sections of the cabin bulkhead together, then I removed the rear cabin floor and did small amount of tidy up around the edges - then I applied a couple of coats of the main Grey colour, then when dry I have masked out the floor ready for the darker Grey colour.
