Happy new year to you, that is looking awsome. OC. -
Thank you kindly Alan mate, I have a flat 3/4 brush with slightly stiff bristles (but that seems to be the types that works best). And with primer (not using one) I have the vallejo Black primer but I dont think some paints adhere to it very well as it has a slight sheen to it and does not give a key for the base coat. OC.

Happy new year to you all. Right thinking on my feet ahead of me starting back on this re primer - I wonder if it needs it if I make sure the surface is clean and free of any release agents (yep I know I did not wash the parts first before assembling) I could use a flat brush and use a soapy water mix and brush it over the hull and turret and let dry before I do anything, then I am thinking of just hand painting with my base colour/s with my sligtly stiff flat brush (I have seen vids where a slightly stiff bristle brush is favoured over a soft one for brush painting these kind of kits) I have one such brush its an Army Painter one and quite good quality 3/4 inch I think. Looking forward to getting back at the table even if I am not working on my Waterloo dio at mo. OC.

Thank yuo Alan, I tried a an idea out on my hand painted Warspite build where I used a cloth with a bit of water, to polish the painted hull after the paint was Fully dry, this smoothed out any brush marks - it did a quite good job to be fair. OC.

Good to know brother. OC.

Morning all, and Merry Christmas. I keep studying videos of other builders brush painting there model tanks, and its got me tempted to have a go in the New Year - it will need me to check out my Vallejo Acrylic Surface Primer to see if its still usable after all this time (or even enough) and to see if I can prime the whole tank yet keep it thin and smooth enough to preserve details. Then I will be considering Nato Green (all over) or Three colour European scheme, will have to see on that one - will see how the brush primer goes. OC.

Some good progress there - love your other builds, would love to have seen a build log of your Enterprise. OC.

She is looking Superb - so much detail, and as said - she still looks like a graceful ship not a tower block. This is the only ship I have traveled on - very much smaller though - OC.

Amazing work at this scale, I sure enjoyed working on my Hood kit in the same scale and make, it kind of feels more self contained at this scale despite all the tiny parts, with the brass barrel you used - I think when its painted it will not be noticable and will blend in. OC.
