Trumpeter 1 350 Russian Tashkent

[BattleshipBob]

Afternoon all

Finally a completed ship, not good enough but getting there, albeit slowly
Learnt a lot and not near so many mistakes but need to do somethings differently.

Will not spray on the sprue again, in furture will remove from sprue leaving only one attachment point and in colour groups

The brush painting is poor, sorry, not helped by ME poor skill and some shakes!

Use Mr Color with mid retarder for brush work, do not know wether to carry on or use vallejo just for small brush jobs, but afraid that colour might not be exactly the same?

Should have made a lot of the main paint, there is a slight difference in places

Hope it goes someway to being a ship? Next is Admiral Graf Spee. Should be better again

Don't be so hard on yourself Bob.

You stepped out of your comfort zone and it looks like a nice clean build.....

Looks on the ball to me Bob. In fact, if I half close my eyes I can see it Bobbing along on the high seas……

Hi Bob
That's a good result. Looking forward to the Admiral Graf Spee.

Bob,
As has been said don't sweat it that is a great build especially for something you are not used to building.

[BattleshipBob]

Thank you all, BUT figures, nnnooooo! That would make me ring the sarmaritans:upside::thumb2:

Have learnt that must paint the back of railings before adding bits close to railings!!

Bob,
that looks very good - you need some sort of stand to show it off & have a nameplate! Now you've got that under your belt, the Graf Spee will be another step up. Not mixing enough paint is one of my recurring fears, I always end up with far more than I need...................

I usually do that Dave, but this was a mix of 90/10%, also ran out of paint, both to add to the 'do' list in future!!

[Steve Jones]

Well done Bob! I would be well pleased if that was my model. Looking forward to seeing your next floaty build

[BattleshipBob]
