I had to use transparent plastic pipe because it happened on Sunday and I wanted to get the paint on. If you take a careful look you will see two pipes that are marginally thinner and one that has a slight wrong angle to the underwater exhaust end. Don't think it will poke anyone in the eye though 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gremlin56 Posted November 4, 2016 Author Share Posted November 4, 2016 Update 4/11. Small update big job. The measure 31/20L hull camo has been hairy sticked on. I'll be giving the hull a coat of matt varnish this afternoon to lever colors and "shine" out. Then some oil washes and streaking before the deck becomes a permanent fixture. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gremlin56 Posted November 4, 2016 Author Share Posted November 4, 2016 Quite chuffed myself Kev, managed to get it looking respectable with a hairy stick instead of an airbrush Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spookytooth Posted November 4, 2016 Share Posted November 4, 2016 Nice job with the hairy stick(s) Gremlin. And she sure is quite a size compared to the A3 mat. Simon. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gremlin56 Posted November 4, 2016 Author Share Posted November 4, 2016 4/11 update #2: Once again small results from a lot of work. The first of twin .50 gun tubs started. Brass barrels with flash suppressors replace the OOB plastic ones. Eduard details added to the .50 cals. all for now. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The shell feeds will add to the build as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bought metal barrels for this model a couple of years ago during another "false start" to this project. Up and running now though, quite nice to build too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spookytooth Posted November 6, 2016 Share Posted November 6, 2016 They look the part Gremlin. Filling the bins up would be a good idea , we cannot have the crew shouting pop pop pop, after 5 secs of gunfire. Simon. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
