psdavidson Posted December 8, 2023 Author Share Posted December 8, 2023 Thanks @galgos the frames got painted Airfix calls out grey, but they look aluminium in photos, so that's what I sprayed And with all the masking off A few touch-ups needed but not too bad Next will be decals, then I can complete assembly of all the rest More soon(ish) /P 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

psdavidson Posted December 9, 2023 Author Share Posted December 9, 2023 Started on the decals As I have a family connection to the place, I will use the numbering for Thurso Side 1 done, with only one break in the long strip Ain't too bad More soon(ish) /P 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psdavidson Posted December 10, 2023 Author Share Posted December 10, 2023 And more progress today All the decals were applied So I started adding the rest of the bits and continuing until I got to this stage Which is where I will have to leave it until next weekend The bench also doubles as "the office" on weekdays. I just hope nowt gets broken off in the meantime I might just make it More soon(ish) /P 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wimbledon99 Posted December 10, 2023 Share Posted December 10, 2023 That’s superb! How did you do the white around the deck; more masking or by hand?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did plan on mask and spray, but it would have taken too long There are some bits that you can't see which are still the deck colour, but don't tell anyone else 🤫 /P 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

psdavidson Posted December 16, 2023 Author Share Posted December 16, 2023 Thanks everyone On the final lap now Flying deck (?) in progress and nearly complete All the rmaining greeblies attached, windows unmasked (I lost one of the clear parts on the cabin door 😠) And done! Not my best by any means There's a lot I would do differently if I built it again, but the end-result looks OK Thanks to the larger than life team of @trickyrich for the GB suggestion and hosting, @Stew Dapple and @galgos for assisiting ably and of course the lthe big boss @Enzo the Magnificent for keeping the peace Also thanks to everyone else for looks, likes and comments Gallery pics will be posted soon(ish) /P 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bissyboat Posted December 20, 2023 Share Posted December 20, 2023 Brilliant rendition of the Severn Class Lifeboat. I struggled with the decals. They were so weedy. ⚓😙 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
