  1. Thanks lou, I thought the same as subs do tend to be slightly detail shy, she has a few bits and pieces to go on her yet. OC.
  2. What matt top coat medium will you be using - your own sprayer or rattle can? I am interested as I will be seeking to do a flat top coat on mt sub when its all finnished. OC.
  3. I got a bit more time on the bench - these subs have acustic tiles glued onto thier dark grey/black hull, so on many areas the tiles are either missing or not placed, two of these areas are both sides a kind of zig zag pattern that shows the hull color, also down the center line there is a flat black anti-slip walkway. So I have painted these areas with the masked areas as required. Just the two pics. OC.
  4. Hiya greg, that was kind of my thinking the scribing would kind of show the undercoat (well unpainted plastic). OC.
  5. I have a small flexible metal rule type thing with different shapes cut out in it, some squares and circles, might try that. OC,
  6. In an ideal modeling world this would be what I am aiming for, accustic tiles and all, just dont know how realistic it is at this scale just using brushes. Not one of my pics. OC.
  7. Hi mate. My sleep patterns are all over the place, but I tend to be up into the early hours as the wife has troubles with her sleep and I like to keep an eye on her, so I have my laptop on in bed. OC.
  8. Simple - build her in the living room on your dinning table (like I do) that way the admmiral can keep tabs and ask for the occasional cuppa or tea. OC.
  9. It was a challenge for my hairy sticks, but I kept the coats very thin like thin milk, and I do find my Lifecolor Acrylic very good and very tough, within a few hours of painting and hair dryer between coats, I was soon able to smooth the hulls down with soapy water and a sponge, and no rubbing off with the paint. OC.
  10. Anyway greg/dennis and all, when you gonna come and say hi on my fresh sub build..........Im lonely on there. OC.
