Old Collingwood Posted September 7, 2016 Author Share #301 Posted September 7, 2016 Came out great! You would have to know it was there in the first place to even notice it. Sometimes as model builders, we are our own worst critics and nothing is ever perfect enough. That's me, anyway, and my OCD disorder. Thank you for that, I am quite pleased with it, using the magnifier I can paint cleaner with my fine brush. OC.

Old Collingwood Posted September 7, 2016 Author Share #302 Posted September 7, 2016 You know, there's something else I thought about that happened to me one time before... I had this magnifying glass that was attached to a movable stand. Well, it was in just the right place where sunlight from my window came through and it darn near started a fire in my workshop. A set of plans were scorched from it. Taught me a lesson about leaving magnifying glasses in close proximity to a window and sunlight. This makes A lot of sense and I think is the Cause, I had my magnifier (6 inch round one) on the stand and there was strong sunlight coming through over my shoulder, I will learn a lesson from it.

Old Collingwood Posted September 7, 2016 Author Share #303 Posted September 7, 2016 The plan for tomorrow - Finnish off touching up the Ap507B mid grey colour around the stern and the bow, that will finnish off the camo on the Port side. After letting this settle for a bit it will be the turn of the Starboard side - repeating what I have done but minus the repair work to the damaged section. OC.

Old Collingwood Posted September 14, 2016 Author Share #307 Posted September 14, 2016 A written update folks minus any pictures at the moment, as all I am doing is the same on the Starboard side as I did on the Port, Its careful work as I am not using any tape for masking, and just hand painting the camo to where it meets the angled Torpedo Bulge, Its slow going but tidy.

Old Collingwood Posted September 20, 2016 Author Share #315 Posted September 20, 2016 That's some mighty fine brush work there, OC. Beautiful! Thank You so much, the lesson I learned was just to work in a small area, work under a strong magnification and keep the psint quite thin - like skimmed milk, dry it between coats using a hairdryer, and after three or four coats the acrylic paints tend to smooth out nicely.

Old Collingwood Posted September 24, 2016 Author Share #317 Posted September 24, 2016 I finished tidying up the Hull and even re painted the props, and have now moved onto the rear deck area, I started in the same way as the other deck areas by firstly sanding off slightly the raised plastic deck boards, to get a smooth flat surface for the wood deck to sit on, next will be to paint all the protrusions that stick through the deck when its down, next I will cut out these fittings on the wood laminate and tidy them up, before fixing the laminate wood deck down. Here is a picture showing the laminate wood section and the sections to be cut out. OC.

Old Collingwood Posted September 25, 2016 Author Share #319 Posted September 25, 2016 (edited) Another area I plan to work on after the rear deck is in place, is to scribe a couple of armour lines into hull, where they were most noticable, this will be along the shelf hull and on the extreme bow, I have done a drawing to show what I mean, and the Stern.

Old Collingwood Posted September 25, 2016 Author Share #320 Posted September 25, 2016 More work on the rear deck laminate today, I managed to cut the deck section away from the sheet it was attached to then did a bit of dry fitting - adjusting - dry fitting etc, then the "Hold breath" stage again where you get just one chance to lay the Very very sticky laminate, again starting from the rear turret and carefully placing it down pressing gently as I went. It went down with a slight portion to one side but this just ment a bit or trimming around obstructions and the edge to balance it out. Here are a few pics fisrtly showing the laminate down and the rest are how the whole ship is looking to date.

Old Collingwood Posted September 30, 2016 Author Share #329 Posted September 30, 2016 Folks still pushing on - I have decided to apply a bit of artistic license with my build folks, my way of thinking is during the old lady's later battles 1943-1944, her captain considered her rear deck area near her rear flagstaff and right above her rudders, to be vulnarable to plunging attack, esp around the area of the rear hatches as these where considered a weakness from cutting into the light deck armour of just 1inch, so the captain decided to fit two armour plates of 2 inchs in thickness over the hatches, to give an additional layer of protection.These I will fashion myself out of square secion plates and attach these via a frame.
