My god a T whats it cushion, what ever next, nice for the StuG driver to keep his farmer giles warm!!

Now the tank museum do a StuG T shirt but no pic of one on it, theres a StuG life ( the only way ) on ebay, tempting!!

A StuG is never far away Chris once Nelson has been rollered its back to my lovelies, got a few to finish

 

[BattleshipBob]

Right first level of AK light sea grey and as Ron said, it looks terrible!

Thinned with a small amount of water
Not sure how long to leave between coats or how many

Thanks to Ron for putting up with my questions

 

[The Smythe Meister]

I`m definitely getting the urge to do one of these Big Ships....... but i just have so many things on the go currently that i can`t justify buying one!!

Thanks Andy, wish i could use a roller lol

Right finished the grey bits, not 100% happy with my brush skills ( thanks again to young Ron ) cannot get the thinning right every time bit patchy in places by ok, lot to learn

Superstruture is still loose.




Next is either the boot topping and ships boats lower bitsp or the deck??

Painted AA guns in plain black, not far off

 

[adt70hk]

Great work well done so far.

[Tim Marlow]

Moving her on there Bob. It will be nice to see deck paint arriving.

Thanks Tim, think the grey is to dark. Its far from perfect, not helped by a awful kit, well thats my excuse lol

 

[Tim Marlow]

Doesn’t look too dark to me Bob. Perhaps a dry brush or edge highlighting stage to bring out the various shapes will help?

 

[Jim R]

Superstructure is still loose.

Just one of the problems we have to cope with as we get older. Perhaps those "Step One" undies might help

Colours look fine.

Grey looks good to me Bob, one thing I’ve noticed is that a lot of so called light greys appear quite dark. I’ve been testing a few I have to decide what to use.
looks like your making good progress anyway.

 

[papa 695]

Coming along very nicely Bob.

 

[BattleshipBob]

Thanks all for the kind words and encouragement, appreciated

Perhaps should have done another ship, despite all my work some parts look bad even after a lot of messing around with!

 

[JR]

Well I for one admire you stepping out from something you know and love into the world of floaty things, Is Chris responsible for all this I wonder ?

 

[Tim Marlow]

Hey Bob, it looks like HMS Nelson, so what more do you want? It’s also making you dip your toe in uncharted waters, so that’s no bad thing either. You have also rekindled my interest in big gun ships, so I salute you.
