thanks guys much appreachiated, i did mess the other side up when masking, so sorting that out, basicly i masked it up but put the tape the wrong side of the mark, so the green line was to long and I never had a gap between the green and red

the UK like many euro countries are struggling to meet fuel demands, the Putin war, post pandemic, even brexit have had an effect, energy companies keep raising the price cap set for energy, even ours has gone up 100% and we are using about 1/2 of what was used last year. the nicer weather has helped keep the costs down, it will level off sometime next year, however some customers are facing higher bills depanding on how they pay for it, like pre-payment the government are helping out, but for some it is not enough to keep up with the extra problems we are facing with inflation/cost of living What is the energy price cap and how high could bills go? - BBC News

loads more lighting to go in, the kit comes with a 5vt lighting set, which on recommendation is discarded, however the power supply is a 12vt sytem with dimmer, i may obtain anr one which will give me the option to fully light her up like a christmas tree, but tone it down so it looks like the tree was still up in March today i found out that she also had as well as the green hull line but green lighting along the upper deck

Good afternoon everyone thank you for comments and likes DAY 18 revisited the enclosed after deck and sorted the hatch truckways and the new 2nd class gymnasium also on the top deck is a childrens play room this still needs work, im not happy with it at all i think some primer is required the primer has stopped the lightbleed both sides of the hull are now with topcoats, been deliberatly left looking pants to ease the weathering (which is the same as i hate airbrushing)

very nice indeed, i also found her hard to photo, there is so much detail for the camera to focus on, i will not build another Bismack, but sometimes look at mine and see things i could have done better

we did that even in the 80's with RN diesel boats, just to listen and wait, Nuclear boats are unable to do so due to contast requirement of cooling water
