I was wondering about all those doors, bet it took time for new crew to know what door goes where lol
(Bob qoute)
WELL Bob you are proberly right on that about new crew members knowing where to go but each doors have a code letter on them telling where it goes or room so i was told as on my norfolk i even fitted on the doors some letters an the reason so many doors is for easy escape an if a fire in a room it can be much easyier to keep contained so i was told by a chap in portsmouth navy yard

Very kind of you to think of me!! But its already in my small book collection, will have to put it on my to read list.

Keep up the good work!

Looking good Bob. Much bigger than I imagined. Using a PVA glue for pe works well. Something like your Deluxe Materials or Gator Glue. If in doubt about the strength of the fixing just wick some thin CA into the join once the PVA is dry.

Right started painting the hull

Forgive first bash lol, painted hull in Tamiya as per plans, not sure if reddish brown is correct??

Have sprayed slightly above where the boot topping is going, will now spray the hull grey until it meets the red, then do the boot topping where they join!

Anybody agree or not, before i put my foot in it lol



Do not have a clue if its the right or wrong way or if it will look good or bad lol

Aaaaaaaaarrrhhhhhhhh Bob yes the red looks ok as its the colour of red car primer red lead but Bob you should have masked up the red with tamyia maskin tape now youve sprayed the grey so in my opinion do so now an mask up the grey full height an respray your red lead an then do the black boot line but you are getting there boyo

Hi Chris

[boatman]

Bob it should look like this in my two pics red an grey first but you must mask up each colour or you will over spray like you have then black boot toppin an again the red an the grey must be masked up before black boot toppin is sprayed on
but as you have over sprayed the grey just mask up the grey an resprey the red lead just have deko at the pics boyo

chris

[BattleshipBob]

Told you i needed to improve Chris, had to resist the mighty rollar!!

Yep, no top coat just red and the rest in primer

Looks good to me. Not so much of an overspray issue with an airbrush Chris. It’s much more controllable than rattle cans. Doing it the way Bob has stated will minimise the paint build up at the tape lines.
