Still going lol

One thing I am getting to grips with his good old patience and that includes letting paint dry. So started the priming yesterday and today painted her bum using tamiya LP. No attempt at masking as the Kure grey will cover the red

Thanks John

Hull painted in tamiya LP Kure grey, as i am painting the decks separately I thought I had better mask the lip inside the hull to mount the decks on, so will give a good contact for the glue
Lot of tape!!

Happy as a pig in the old brown stuff

Finished the fore mast ( right name? ) the radar on top is not great.

Started the main mast, not fitting the top section yet, tempting fate! Will fit just before painting

There is a small amount of PE, mainly oars for the boats!! But also this cage like thing, it sits by the side of the mail funnel, not a scooby what it's for????

A nice paint job that. Well masked too - no bleed, that's always a great day at the paint booth.
