HI John i bear no responsibilty for this when he first told me i thought it was a wind up for a month or more till Bob actually shew the kit an then he says lets have a vote on which one he should build SO from bein stug crazy to ships i think he's had a brain tilt lolWell 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 ?
YEA John another one gone over to the floaty things you will be next lol its a very powerfull spell now you see why its had me for 30 odd yrs in its grip an i cant break free lolSee Chris, another one has fallen to the spell !
WELL come on boyo an lets see it as its all part of the learnin tecknquieWell started on the boot topping on one side and it looks terrible, almost sent nelson to the bin i should have used one long length of masking tape as theres a lot of overspill, i have touched up as best i can.
Have done the other side with a long length and left to dry. So annoying but all part of learning, never masked a StuG lol
Thanks Steve, its got me on the ropes lolKeep up the great work Bob. Enjoying watching this floaty thing come together
If it helps mine went sideways too. I’ve been rubbing it down and will have to start all the hull painting again. Just slightly annoyed, understatement.Right removed the full length strips of tamiya masking tape

About 50% not bad, will try to touch up the bleed, thanks to Dave' post on using varnish to control bleed, i will practice on scrap card.
I know i should have sanded off the raised boot topping lines, but this is total practice build and it certainly shown i need it Bit cheesed off as i must have not thinned the paint enough and put to much on the tape edge, bugger!!
BUT THATS all the challnges eh of beating the odds come on you guys you can do it dont be down hearted how about a 6ft hull line like on my norfolk on both side 12 ft altogeather so you guys can do itIf it helps mine went sideways too.
