tomprobert Posted February 3, 2022 Author Share Posted February 3, 2022 Greetings all, I have been confined to the house over the last week and bit due to Covid, but being in isolation does have its perks. After a pretty grim 48hrs I was back to feeling fine so got the airbrush out and started painting this beast. Total painting time was more or less 10 hours and I used three tins of Xtracolor paint for each of the Extra Dark Sea Grey, Slate Grey and Sky - the surface area is HUGE. I still need to do the upper wing insignias but this will have to wait until the weekend as I'm now back to work. You'll have to forgive the horrible phone pictures - these were snapped in the living room under artificial light - but when she's flat-coated I'll get the decent camera out and shoot some pics in natural light. Things are progressing nicely, and the end is appearing on the horizon! All the best, Tom 47 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fritag Posted February 3, 2022 Share Posted February 3, 2022 (edited) Wow too! (two) I’ll try and come up with something a bit more articulate when I’ve had time to digest and reflect on the splendiferousness of the beast Edited February 3, 2022 by Fritag 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Army_Air_Force Posted February 3, 2022 Share Posted February 3, 2022 Looks great, but still think you need a pond and slipway in the garden. Even a photoshoot down at the beach on a calm day!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even a photoshoot down at the beach on a calm day!! Thank you - and that's a great idea! A good excuse for a jaunt down to the seaside. The only problem is the wife and kids will want to come... and there won't be room in the car for them and the Sunderland... 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan P Posted February 4, 2022 Share Posted February 4, 2022 Brilliant work Tom 👏👏👏 that's a lot of paint! As it's nearly finished, is the magazine under the table trying to tell us something 🤔 🤣 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regards Robert Thanks, Robert - I won't bring it along next week as it's competition night, I believe, and the car will likely be full with other stuff! See you then!

AdrianMF Posted February 4, 2022 Share Posted February 4, 2022 The low demarcation TSS looks super. I'm so used to seeing Sunderlands as mostly white that it's a really nice change. Did we mention it's BIG? Regards, Adrian 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
