Thanks mate, trying to keep them natural still need to chase the interior green around then add more washes. OC.

Thank you kevin, OC.

Done a bit more - I decided to fit some pipework - for this I used electrical fuse wire, I put a small smear of ca down then layed some wire, with a hairdryer to set It set in place - I then did the same to a run underneath. I then painted both fuel tanks the brick Red colour - for this I used Red Ocre, after drying this I added a few coats of dark wash - very watery then dried in between each layer, the main green shade still needs to be applied. OC.

So! - It begins, I couldn't help it "I had to", I got the box out - checked the instructions and found the first build section (Bomb bay), so I cut away the first sections needed then put them in a tub and with the aid of washing up liquid/hot water and a tooth brush, I gave the parts a clean to remove the release agent. Then when dry I assembled the main bomb bay floor containing the fuel tanks, and the two bulkheads, this was set aside to dry. Here are the first two pics showing the stage so far and the instructions stage. OC.

I was told by my farther they struggled to fit the beafed up engine in the same frame - they could have done with extending the frontal area. oc.

I can see you and mark doing that Huey ride and posting the vid on here - that would be so cool. OC.

Very nice work, bowsprit deck do you mean Forecastle deck - it meets the front of the ship near the bowsprit and can be flat from the mid ships or raised up. OC.

Very nice work on the shrouds and rats. OC.

As well as the Mosi I won this on ebay for next to nothing - it was an opened box but all the parts are still in their bags I have been told - waiting for it to arrive, it is fitting as its another plane my father worked on. OC.

Thanks mark. OC.

You could do a door gunner mark. OC.

Same kit as I just finished - some suggestions - use wood dowels where ever you can, inside the two piece masts (lowers) and for the mast higher sections, also make wood dowel yards instead of the plastic ones (they will be far stronger for tying ropes against them) try to fit a wood deck if you can (far more realistic in my opinion) square off the rear cabin front area (thats if you intend to build her as the wicked wench or latter black pearl) also if you can try to use wood deadeyes and blocks - they all help to make a more substancial build. Just a few ideas for you. OC.

So! Now the Pearl is finished - I will give myself a couple of days of then - I will make a start on the Mosi, I have all the stuff I need to build her I think so it should be interesting and quite different from the pearl. OC.

Thank you so much denis, yep its in the cabinet now job done, having a day or two breather before my next build - In the Plane section I have been speaking about. So no ships for a bit. OC.
