just showing that this is all their is to this going to make about 30 more stanchions tonight.I find it works better to roll on wood or cardboard I tried glass and they disappear.The hull is finally painted Monday was one of those days had to finish it Tuesday just walk the frick away.

I would not FU a paint job for that John just assume it's a different day and mission.

Kinda Fun Peter?The smaller scales can keep the mojo going.

Like that scheme

Nice One Martin

Soft brass is just a hobby knife and an eyeball or two

We drift over to the Dark Side from time to time.

What are you guys talking about some kind of show?but what?all this code.............😋

I have hated the way Revell portrayed the stanchions on the boat I know it's 1/72 but their had to be a better way.Wa La I think I have the better way!I started with a hollow brass tube and started cutting segments about .030" in length take the .030" plastic rod dip in CA and it literally sucks up the brass ring off the table align and I have a stanchion.I have done one side of the main deck 15 pieces took maybe 30 minutes I will make a jig to get all to the same length. The hull red is done tomorrow after drying I do the grey.

Hubert do not know the layout of this crate but looks the business

It's happening.

😂We are two peas in a pod.

Nice work Ernie!!

Well glad to see you over here Maru I still post some there but like Gary use it for info.I haven't posted a build over there in 10years I guess

All for today not much I will run a scotch brite over the red smooth out and hit with another coat.The 37mm which I will not be using if the Quad Flak 38 goes in is at about 2/2.5 hrs right now.I got the book today different colors from Revell on the hull bottom they say Dark Grey the book this with a boot it's traditional the Kreigsmarine did it for the other ships?I looked up reviews for the book no one complained about the colors just the lack of interior pics for the guys in 1/35.I think it will break up the ship well.

Maybe the GB will get the New year going right? Jerry like them all but esp. the F-4.

.Chris might be a bit much 24 pages but this guy is the one who went crazy on the 1/48 Cat lots of other info/pics from WWII https://ww2aircraft.net/forum/threads/done-1-48-consolidated-pby-5-catalina-commonwealth-gb.26851/

What else can be said.

John the weathering makes it pop now what did you use for the whites?Pastels lighten blue?

Until you get to the B-58 Hustler or a B-52 😂 But the solution works for the most part.The Curtis ......is looking really Nice Ernie but I always luv the day that damn tape comes off the glass then...."It's Alive!"

That's a Nice fit for AM PE Carl either a testament to your skills or engineering or maybe bother.

Hey are we waiting for the plastic to cure?😋

What's not to like Bill IP looking saswweeeeet!!

But if sure the hell sounds like the real mccoy.

Just Just........... blasphemous!
