semorebutts Posted January 21, 2018 Author Share #429 Posted January 21, 2018 Since I prematurely painted this piece I can install the wooden deck on it. First i cut out the deck and made sure they fit. And I also wiped the deck with rubbing alcohol to clean it and to give the deck the best chance of sticking.

semorebutts Posted January 25, 2018 Author Share #432 Posted January 25, 2018 (edited) Almost ready for paint. I just have to install some ladder rungs. Out come my harbor freight drill bits. lets see if I can do this without braking many bits this time success! I painted all of the main big pieces. Next I will paint some darker grey areas, life rafts white, all deck fittings and stairs, do alot of shading, install the decks, assemble everything and gently place it onto the Bismarck. See everyone soon! Edited January 26, 2018 by semorebutts Cathead, harvey1847, Canute and 11 others 14 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try fitting them into a Pinvise and see if you have more success. I find it gives me more stability than turning the drill by hand. The part to be drilled should be firmly supported so it can't slip and snap the drill.

popeye the sailor Posted January 26, 2018 Share #442 Posted January 26, 2018 I was in there a few weeks ago......I didn't see them, but I did find a drill index {an assortment actually} that goes from 3 mm, down to the micro sizes.

semorebutts Posted January 27, 2018 Author Share #444 Posted January 27, 2018 (edited) Not much progress tonite. I only had about 2 hours so I figured I could airbrush the life rafts. 3 drops of thinner and 6 drops of flat white is all it took. I can hopefully paint dark grey areas tommorow atleast...Masking with tape takes me a while. It just gonna be wierd with timing. I got to go to work at 11am till about 1pm. Being right in the middle of the day like that really messes up my day. Even if it's only 2 hours.

semorebutts Posted January 27, 2018 Author Share #449 Posted January 27, 2018 I couldnt get much done after work today. I painted the dark grey areas by hand with a brush. It definetly does not come out as good as airbrushing but it's one 3 small areas. then I still had time so I started to prep all of the deck fittings for paint tomorrow. I hope to airbrush all thats left tomorrow and also start shading. popeye the sailor, lmagna, cog and 7 others 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
