All ready for the grand opening of the room! Invited Jen and Chris to do the honours from a distance!!

Decided to add the periscope, snorkeling etc first, I might regret it!!

Had to add a bit of filler here and there, could have done better, but just glad to get some mojo back

Next my favourite Mr surfacer primer

Congratulations on the opening of your model room Bob .
Still not sure about you being converted to floaty things, very worrying for the StuG Society.

Finally in Mr surfacer black primer, as normal went on lovely!


Did not do a good job on the bow seams, for some reason seams always cause me a problem

[The Smythe Meister]

We'll,I for one,think that looks really good Bob
Very nice indeed

[Tim Marlow]

Looking good Bob. Black suits it :thumb2:
What is the issue with the seams? Are they sinking after preparation? If so, you aren’t leaving them to dry long enough before sanding down, especially if the filler is quite thick. As the trapped thinners gasses off the filler shrinks, so making the seam visible again. Try putting it on in thinner layers and allowing them to dry properly before sanding.

Hi Tim, does not matter what I do the seam stands out like the old sore thumb! In this case I have not used filler and its just the seam between the hull halves, especially at the bow.

I either sand too much and obliterate everything in the area or not enough as in this case!
