Hello David sincere warm greetings to you hope you have a loverly christmas, Its all your fault - after seeing the Fabulous Warspite from up north, you got me hooked and obsessed with the ole girl All my inspiration is from that Amazing pice of artistry going on with her, just hope I can in any small way pay tribute to her Kind regards OC -
Could be your card or reader - is your card connected directly in a slot in the comp or via an external card reader, take either/both out and check condition of the contacts(brass shiiny sections where you plug in) make sure they are clean - if not give them a clean with a cloth, then either try re loading or re try with new shots in the camera after cleaning the memory card. Might work give it a go. OC.

Looking great my friend, all the PE makes such a difference even if maost of it is heart stopping while working with it, I think my heart stops while messing with it OC.
-
Not much to say so I will let these photos say it all - port and starboard Tubs fitted. OC.
-
Interesting - I'm sure I have seen many times mentioned on forums for plastic modeling, that PVA is good to attach PE railings aswel as CA. OC.
-
Next was to give both Tubs a couple of coats of light grey, of note is the lack of 20mm machine guns as they were not carried in certain Tubs during D Day, I would imagine this was due to the channel having UK and American air superiority over those areas, hence less need of fire cover. Here is a pic showing the light grey paint finish on the Tubs. OC.

More updates folks this time on the two hull side rear deck 20mm Tubs, these are slightly different as they both have a lower rim on the front sections, this was done using a fine file and sanding stick(very carefully as the resin is very thin) next I worked on building two PE boxes by the same method as before, these where glued in place along with a door each, next was a thin rim that I made from some wast PE strip. Here are a couple of pics showing the pre painting stage with the two Tubs.

That rear 20mm tub is on the stern she never had one on the bow, but get where you are coming from. OC.
-
I've started on my 20mm gun tubs that are pontos resin jobbies, got the PE ammo box's aswel but tried fixing them in place using undiluted PVA glue, and although they fix they leave a skin either side of the PE part and if its scraped away the PE part comes away, just like the PVA is not bitting into the resin and making a good bond. OC.
-
How are you getting on getting PE to stick to resin parts without using super glue? OC.
-
Two more pics folks - I didn't like the first attempts above so despite it being night time here, I took the ole girl into the kitchen(more light there) and took a couple of shots at a slightly further distance as I was to close with the others. Here they are - OC.

A bit more time on the bench(table) today inbetween wrapping presents, I managed to put a few coats of paint on the 20mm Tub, I started with light greay on the inside followed by the outside, then a coat of black on the machine gun then............she was glued into position followed by a light touch up with top coat. A couple of pics again slightly oof due to the cam phone but I think it gives an idea. OC.
-
Its just an old Sony Ericcson mobile phone camera to be honest, thats all I have as my other cam that had macro died a death. OC.
-
Oh I foregot to mention - I have left the ammo cover's open on the boxes - you can just make that out in the pics, but also put a choc bar wrapper inside the bottom(only joking) OC.
