yvesvidal Posted May 25, 2023 Share #3 Posted May 25, 2023 Very unusual and exciting models. As you are planning to build a diorama, it is going to be intense !!! Yves popeye the sailor, mtaylor, Canute and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RGL Posted May 27, 2023 Author Share #4 Posted May 27, 2023 Very simple kits. I had to get the cockpits painted first, joined up all I can, now for a primer coat and look for mistakes. popeye the sailor, mtaylor, hof00 and 5 others 8 Quote Greg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RGL Posted May 27, 2023 Author Share #5 Posted May 27, 2023 Mr Surfacer 1500 colour with Mr Leveling thinner. My first use of this as a primer so let’s see how it goes with masking. The bloke who owns SMS paints tells me that this is the best way to get a gloss coat is to use a black undercoat. Let’s see how we go.

ccoyle Posted May 31, 2023 Share #10 Posted May 31, 2023 Greg, did you use EZ-Line for the rigging? If so, I'd be interested in hearing how you go about securing the ends to their attachment points.

amateur Posted June 8, 2023 Share #16 Posted June 8, 2023 (edited) Niiiice! Did you consider replacing the props with a transparant disc? Some diorama builders do to solve the discrepancy between the speed shown and a non-moving prop.
