I've had quite a fight with the LAG. It appears that this is another paint that doesn't like low temperatures when spraying. But I got it done after some remedial sanding on runs and picking up a couple of imperfections in the fillered areas. I have spent the time prepping the horizontal stabilisers, tanks, legs, doors and pylons for colour though. Thanks for looking, Cheers, Alistair

The Avionics Bay did get a little detail painting. This evening I decided that all the procrastinating and worrying whether the kit decals would still be OK was all just creative inertia and so I got them started. I intended to get a lot more done but the walkway lines to an awful lot longer than I imagined. I'm back on Night's tomorrow but should be able to do a little at a time as I now know that they will go down OK They'll get the softener treatment overnight to see how things lie. Thanks for looking, Cheers, Alistair

A lot of paint got flung at plastic with gay abandon yesterday. Today bits and bobs were glued in place. The davits are all a dry fit at the moment until I get the lifeboats painted up and in place. Masts still dry fit until painted and a couple of minor touch ups on the Buff and white. Fairly happy with the look though. Thanks for looking, Cheers, Alistair

As I've been on earlies since Thursday there hasn't been much done apart from getting bits ready for paint but I did bite the bullet last night and build the masts as this bit was scaring the living daylights out of me. Once I'd deciphered the old Airfix instructions lashed some glue about and left them to set up overnight we have this dry fit. It's strange how those type of instructions, which were once the norm have become more difficult to decode in these days of clear pics with placement guides. Still, quite happy with the look of these and the next job will be to get some paint on them and start stressing about the rigging. Thanks for looking, Cheers, Alistair

The Umpteenth HMS Hood on Britmodeller, My First.

Yet more incredible work Mark. Looking wonderful. This ship building stuff is great fun and quite addictive. Although yours is certainly on another level and much more fiddly than my OOB build I'm thinking about getting some more to build. Cheers, Alistair- 43 replies

I use similar to these for the pick up and placement of small bits. https://www.amazon.co.uk/ISAKEN-Painting-Rhinestone-Self-Adhesive-Decoration/dp/B0DR8HLFHD/ref=sr_1_5?dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.P1cqpT1tTkWUqrwK6-WPboqkS59J8OIDc3toKq5gbgvy_vLIgUptSikAyPY4m_wYuHpuVLId9UutY-zqwc1RiH6o-Co2-U_CRqEJX6RzlGbtOivoC0CZbFyc4f85-HUhy_C7xiceALXPVYmm4OEsC3BM6OIFhoOVhc81sufthtfbSMmZu-C_Y5pQrfV4e-xxETc9zjG37h05v4yF_6PWsYgUtQpFnDCNQ5_egRK2g30Bpbh1C7ktmcTTYKt0gm3cncX5XTIRsFRbOvSjiR_UfQQVBkA64tysiB9b2J3lp5LLVF5XRtVCnoHUcCgdSyugedL7O8x-cGMEpb30XQB_qYb6oRdhqDtBzSx31M5vyhmVbcTM08d-A8OGN_1fKIRbJDFjfGoBSEBmElnBesyF8yXVUVQBtwlMoGJv-8Hjzz1KBxeJ12GRhOVzd77kBe_2.Dd30OlNmgF7tvyG3w7ShzdVVVywwjMCMN810Ou-3w_U&dib_tag=se&keywords=wax%2Brhinestone%2Bpicker&qid=1738568868&sr=8-5&th=1 That was just a random search. If the end gets contaminated all you need to do is sharpen it. Works well for me. Cheers, Alistair
