Ian B Posted June 27, 2023 Author Share #91 Posted June 27, 2023 (edited) first upper deck stripe done. I wont fix the funnel cap until after its its stripes -Thought Id better the ground work adding the stripes in before it gets too cluttered with PE to mask nicely.

Yves Thanks Yves A bit of a pain but I think will really stand out once completed, this is my first 'non wooden' Napoleonic ship I have attempted. I saw a few being done on here and just goat the bug LOl . I spray the stipes and then do the P.E parts which are easy to hand paint in.. It would be a nightmare to mask off even with a small amount of detail in place, Next is to stripe the funnel-- then detail it... yvesvidal, Canute, mtaylor and 2 others 5 Quote HMAV Bounty 'Billings' completed ⛵ HMS Cheerful - Syren-Chuck' completed Steam Pinnace 199 'Billings bashed' - completed ⚓ HMS Ledbury F30 --White Ensign -completed 😎 HMS Vanguard 'Victory models'-- completed Bismarck Amati 1/200 --underway 👍 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian B Posted September 18, 2023 Author Share #107 Posted September 18, 2023 The deck level structure has its PE and a quick spray of grey so I can see any imperfections easier. The second and third level has 90% PE complete. The sections are not attached to the hull. I wont do that until they have had a final coat of grey ---and the dreaded black and white stripes applied. After all this work and yet not one single gun however small has yet to be done. mtaylor, clearway, hof00 and 4 others 7 Quote HMAV Bounty 'Billings' completed ⛵ HMS Cheerful - Syren-Chuck' completed Steam Pinnace 199 'Billings bashed' - completed ⚓ HMS Ledbury F30 --White Ensign -completed 😎 HMS Vanguard 'Victory models'-- completed Bismarck Amati 1/200 --underway 👍 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ccoyle Posted February 15 Share #117 Posted February 15 I will always fondly remember the Ar 196.

I made loads of airfix kits in the 60/70s but not that one. My friends and family laugh, I'm a complete plane nut but only make model ships lol As I never knew anything about the Ar 196 I bought this book.
