To cut a long story short, i have struggled to get back into the build, to progress with her i have to be happy with what i had already completed the Gun port lanyards (to me ) never looked right, and i was contemplating ripping them out, but would have put replacements back in that were exactly the same, i read Gils log over the weekend, and it clicked into place what was wrong, they are too bright- and shouting - HEY - LOOK AT ME,, something as simple as that, the last photo taken out in the sun shine made it look even worse, although - lol it only seamed to bother me. i have toned down two pairs over the weekend and although i dont have the right colour wash yet, (working on that) they no longer shout I written this because - i love this hobby, but some times we doubt our own work- and it takes time to work out how to proceed
