I can't look anymore I keep seeing that StuG in the back ground. Having nightmares of being chased by one :crying:
The floaty thing on the other hand is interesting, good tip from Dave on the varnish.
I shall look from over the top of the sofa.

Thats my guard StuG, kindly supplied by Steve, way to small for my mince pies . Any sign of green it goes green and its armour rips off

Welcome aboard Sir, Doctor Who tried the sonic screwdriver, the StuG just ran it over:thumb2:

Do not panic folks, still breathing! Still in dry dock!! Finished a lot of the superstruture, secondary batterie, AA stuff etc.

Same as Tashkent many of the holes in the deck have needed drilling to fit, poor!

One big mistake, should have painted the various bridge decks before fitting them, D'OH


Everything is loose by the way!

Next paint hull, add false waves then go at wooden deck!

Hi Bob
Really starting to look the part now. Shame that the deck holes need drilling. Not a problem but time consuming and annoying. Looking forward to the wooden deck. Clean the deck thoroughly before fitting it to get a good stick down.

Try not to worry. It happens as you get older. It's when things actually fall off that the problems really start :smiling: :rolling: :smiling:

Looking tidy Bob.
Re. the bridge deck painting. That is the trouble with model ship painting, you have to think and act ten steps ahead of any actual gluing! :upside:

Onwards and upwards.....
