Getting the davits and boats into place was a bit of a breath holder. I have seen In Which We Serve and I have the Flyhawk Kelly on the shelf to add to the destroyer fleet. Lovely little kits. Alan I will be looking forward to that build also Alan. OC.

king derelict Posted January 18, 2022 Author Share #32 Posted January 18, 2022 The last boat was added and then the PE rails started. I cut the runs into shorter sections and then attached them using Gators Grip glue. I give it glue a few minutes to tack up a bit before putting the railings into place. I have found this way makes the railings a much less frustrating experience. However, I found my lousy planning skills let me down again. Early on in the build I found one of the railing sections was breaking away from the fret and knowing if i left it it would end up damaged, I decided to cut it completely free and keep it out of harm's way. And i forgot all about it when painting came around so its sat there in its native brass colour. I don't feel like loading teh airbrush up with primer and then grey for one strip of railing so it will sit in abeyance until I start the next kit and hopefully, I will remember to paint it then. In the meantime I added the booms and the decals as well as a wash to the funnel. I'll do the weathering once the last railings are in place and the touching up is complete. Thanks for looking in Alan ccoyle, mikegr, CDW and 6 others 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old Collingwood Posted January 18, 2022 Share #35 Posted January 18, 2022 She is looking really nice Alan - tell you a little trick I did on my railings on my Warspite build painted the wire rails in-between the stanchions Black as I understand there were that colour and still are on UK ships to date, it would also make them less obvious.

OC. Thank you very much OC for your kind comment. Thank you also for the tip about the railings. I will try the black railings when I add the last strip and generally touch up the paint. They are barely noticeable now and the black will blend them in further. Thanks again Alan mtaylor, Canute, mikegr and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

king derelict Posted April 8, 2022 Author Share #39 Posted April 8, 2022 Well, somewhere in amongst the Wasp painting the last strip of railing for the Lance was painted up. It is now fitted; the anchors are in place and some basic rust marks have been added to the hull. The railing have been touched up amd I think this is now complete Thanks for all the likes and comments Alan Canute, CDW, Old Collingwood and 4 others 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
