Rob Thanks Rob I've painted the de-icing strips: Untitled by Ced Bufton, on Flickr Of course the rivets didn't help with the masking so I have some touching up to do. Can't face the framing today - a friend recommended 'Taboo' on the Tele and at first I thought it wasn't my sort of thing, but I persevered.

CedB Posted May 27, 2020 Author Share Posted May 27, 2020 I thought I could manage a bit of painting so brushed the depth charges with Hu91: Checking 'British Explosive Ordnance' for markings I scrolled too far and came across this: 250lb Bouyancy Bomb by Ced Bufton, on Flickr That's them innit? Not depth charges but '250lb Bouyancy Bombs'. Dark grey overall (rats) with a red nose band (3" from the nose that's 1.05mm scaled) and green band at the base of the ogive. What's an ogive? Band 9.5" (3.35mm scaled) from nose. According to Wikipedia 'An ogive is the roundly tapered end of a two-dimensional or three-dimensional object.' Helpful. Not. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CedB Posted May 27, 2020 Author Share Posted May 27, 2020 Thanks John and Adrian Some framing done before my nerves abandoned me*: I've learned to make sure that 'a run' of frame is done with the same cut of tape. Trying to get another cut exactly the same width is pretty impossible. * Nothing medical, don't worry. It's just that I find this fiddly work hard to keep up nowadays. 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

About where the "felt washer" is, at a guess. ie. where it stops tapering. That canopy is fantastic. I think you've found your niche!

The Spadgent Posted May 27, 2020 Share Posted May 27, 2020 Oops. Forgot to mention give the stick a scrub with an old tooth brush. But I guess if it’s ground in. That canopy is truly next level work. Beautiful modelling Ced. 😇 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks hendie, Giorgio and bill, helpful 🙄 When I did the bombs on the Sunderland, this worked: You need two brushes, one for the red and one for the green, because once the bomb is in the chuck you don't want to take it out! Careful, careful: Done: More framing later, probably. 16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
