Tell you what mark - cockpits in model heli's you can basically add what you want to super detail them - like fuse wire for wiring runs, odds and sods of boxes anything really just adds to the sense that its a one off even if it is hidden. OC. -
Hey! I take a bath in the nude😝 not a nice sight, mark the first coat of paint down is not a worry good thing about paint easy to touch it up - and I believe if you use a really high power magnifier to build/paint with, when viewed at normal distance you will find it will look superb, as Craig said above cameras are terrible for exposing tiny things. OC.

I know it will turn out swell some different colours from the normal with that tri colour scheme. OC.

Some lovely detail on those wings should paint up a treat. OC.

Hi all, Some good progress today - over four hours on her, I finished rat-ing the top main shrouds, then working from the top gallant down, I worked on the top gallant spar firstly cleaning up and painting the two tackle blocks, these were then lashed and glued in place then I sorted a length of lifting rope this had to be smoothed out with my normal method of rubbing watery pva in to smooth out the fray ends. I started at the top found the center point of the rope length then tied and glued around the top gallant block, then I rigged them through the tackle and ran them down each side through the lower shrouds and tied off on the bulwark hand rails. Just the three pics a couple out of focus and hand shake but I think it shows what I have done. As always - Sincere Thank You for all the likes and replies. OC.

I'm Back I recharged my batt's and found my mojo - I decided to get out on the table just what I needed to continue on the Pearl, this wasn't much just a few tools etc, I got the pearl out of the display case (still with a layer of dust - but guess that adds to her ghostly look). After checking were I add left off - I picked up with the rats going up the main tops, this I did both sides - same procedure of fine sowing thread wrapped round each then a dab of ca before trimming each end. I then moved on to the main top shroud rats starting both sides. It actually didn't feel that different and I picked up quite easily. Its good to be back. OC.

That was some rotor diameter on the 53 wasn't it something like 50feet? With the flat black I sometimes had the same issue - with me it was paint not mixed well enough - then a second coat on top. OC.
