Thanks Dennis. Much appreciated!

 

Thanks for the likes gents. Keeps me from chucking them out and start all over again

 

Cheers

[Papa]

Impressive work. I will have to pay attention and perhaps learn something. My plastic models never come out well.

[cog]

Welcome ship mate! I 'm glad to be of service Thrilled to meet a new face. You might take a look at RGL's (Greg Lester) mind blowing build logs - I do too but I don't tell anybody Do you have a build log here at MSW?

 

Cheers

How life takes ... rips away time ... last update nearly three weeks ago

Yesterday more garden chores ... but today it's raining - or as Mark (MTaylor) says, time for the workshop - and I pulled out the airbrush again. Nothing fancy, just trying my hand on shading, but my finger was somewhat trigger happy from time to time

 

The single and tripple AA have a black primer, they'll get first a coat of medium grey, and some light  highlights - see how that will work out.

 

 

 

And a bit of a model on the side ... (started a log here)

all this and a sub too????  your not letting your eyes return to focus for a second,  are you     some very nice work there mate   

[CDW]

Everything is shaping up beautifully, Cog. Those single AA guns must be a real eye test to build.

[cog]

Yep, the sub is to sink the battleship Denis

 

Focus .. now that is a real challenge. I keep them focused on the small parts, than I do not need to refocus

[cog]

Thanks mr Bunny ... you could call it that ... however, you haven't seen the full brass tripple AA's yet ... I wonder what you will call those to build ...

 

Yard work done after the twirly winds ?

I've gone cockeyed just looking at your small work  - next time I look at my build it will be back to front.

Thankfully for me its Full Beef dinner cooked by the Admiral today,    then I am cooking a Chicken curry on xmas day, and its a mixed grill on box day - not a trace of turkey anywhere.

Merry Christmas

[Piet]

Merry Christmas Carl and to all who follow this magnificent build.

 

Cheers,

[popeye the sailor]

a great Christmas to you and the misses Carl!   

[cog]

How quickly time passes ... even if you're not having fun!

 

Finally I got some time at the "bench". Had some restorative work on the hull, finished the decks, front and rear, as far as possible to be painted. Masked the decks, partly with tape, partly with an extra wooden deck I won't be using. Dragged the monster to my spray booth for priming. Hope to do some shading this week, but that depends on the boss, and the additional freelance work I got presently.

Please, don't mind the very poor quality of the images. I'll try to get some better quality shots tomorrow if the weather cooperates ...

 

 

Decks have not yet been glued down. First shading on the bit of super structure fixed to the deck, then the hull. Haven't decided yet if I'll get the colour (grey ... very colourful) on first before I mount the decks to the hull or after. The main problem will be putting on the wooden deck if everything is attached. So some minor headaches before I'll be ready with that ...

Great to see you back at work on her.

 

OC.

[cog]

Thanks OC, 'tis about time I am!

[RGL]

Aaaaaaaand you’re back! That’s a lot of work done, the PE looks sharp mate, well done 

[cog]

Thanks Greg, still a ways to go ... the PE stash doesn't seem to shrink ... I keep on bending and sticking parts together ... this ship will sink just by the quantity of brass stuck to it!
