Completed Floaty / Sinky Thing - 1/700 "Typhoon" SSBN (Hobby Boss)

Hi all,

 

First of my entries is Hobby Boss's Typhoon SSBN which if nothing else will be an interesting contrast with my one and only other submarine model - Bushnell's "Turtle."

 

Here's the kit,

Eagle eyed observer's will notice that I'm missing a fundamental item here - Silly me forgot the clock...

Would the picture data do?

 

Nutrition....

Coffee and a toffee, the breakfast of champions...

 

Half an hour or so later it's built.

Break for something more substantial.

I then went over to another Blitzenbuild project, supervised Mrs B with her Airfix Quickbuild Splitscreen Camper (Don't think she entirely enjoyed that build) and had a nap.

 

Back to the Typhoon - Quick coat of primer brushed on, then the waterline was roughly painted on in white prior to it being masked with 0.4mm Aizu tape.

Revell gloss black upperworks and Vallejo Chocolate Brown for the underside - Promise that it'll be given a coat of matt varnish before completion.

Then it was time for the masking tape to come off and to call it a night.

Finish it later.

Back on it at just before 3pm - as this is more than 12 hours since I stopped working on this I guess that it doesn't qualify as a 2x12hr build now.

 

Had visitors which didn't help, will now complete it but won't submit for the Gallery.....

 

Quick coat of pledge to the underside prior to decals.

Decalling done.

And completion time - The matt varnish is drying in this picture.

And dried...
