TheBaron Posted March 11, 2017 Share Posted March 11, 2017 I stopped liking this at the point the paint refused to cooperate with naval requirements. You'll push past this Sean. Tony 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeanM Posted March 11, 2017 Author Share Posted March 11, 2017 Thanks Tony, I'm feeling inspired after a great day out at the Northern Ireland Modellers Association first show in Belfast so plan on tackling this tomorrow.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeanM Posted March 18, 2017 Author Share Posted March 18, 2017 Hull has been repaired but needs some touch ups. And the masking is off the decks. That didn't come out as bad but still needs little tip up jobs. All painting from here will be with a good old hairy stick. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BerndM Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 The joys of masking! Guess every modeller run into problems like yours at some time while removing the masking tape but you did a great job so far. The ethched parts are looking good.

SeanM Posted March 20, 2017 Author Share Posted March 20, 2017 Danke Bernd! Clean-up with a tiny brush and a steady hand is progressing.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeanM Posted April 16, 2017 Author Share Posted April 16, 2017 So from here it's going to be a 22 shades of grey build.... Starting to prepare all the little bits The Harpoons require major surgery to fit the PE stands But they do make a big difference. You can also see the difference between the kit 5" and the White Ensigns resin & metal replacement. And the RIBs with Atlantic Models PE added It's slow going but it's still going.... 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
