Mike, I pre paint them then place them and add a drop of fast setting very thin CA . The only reason I didn’t do individual stanchions on this one is that they were actually hard metal ones instead of stanchion and wire. 

[RGL]

Quad secondary guns part 2. The armistice stripes then the base grey coats. I’ll leave these now for 24 hours then start on the filters. 

[RGL]

Ok, final works, a blue filter

 

a grey wash

a white airbrush and a little bit of brass for the barrel ends

 

[RGL]

So to compare the 3D printed to the kit supplied (with some aftermarket) 

[RGL]

Done, back guns are a real little too light but she’s parked up now and will never be publically shown anyways.

Congratulations on completing another fine model.  Your painting makes this model come to life.  It has been a pleasure to follow your build of this model.

Another Masterpiece being added to what is becoming the greatest naval collection of Australia.

Fantastic.

Great work on another masterpiece Greg, especially the "decal" stripes on the new 3D secondary turret. 

I think that if Micro Master continues with their standard of detail quality they will shortly have the market to themselves!  

[Lt. Biggles]

Looks great! The detailing on the two aircraft is spot on

That, mate, is quite a pitty as all your ships are well worth to be seen!

Pretty posh; looks like a hotel room.

This is from battleship Roma. Officer's dining room and lounge
