Don't forget Ron for top quality you need to pay top dollar :P :P\ said:Sorry Ian, yes I am...just as soon as I can get hold of one for sensible money, bearing in mind the quality!

No problems at all Steve\ said:Mike, I paint the biggest raised yellow lines at the front/bow bit and at the arse end/back/stern/whatever you call it. I don't attempt the little window frames. I then tidy up by running the darker paint into the recessed areas. I used a fine brush or toothpick for various areas.The black (or dark brown in my case) will easily cover yellow.I dry brushed the little window frames, just to lighten them up a little, same with the steps on the side of the ship.
It is still a work in progress and I wasn't going to update my thread until I got back next weekend, but in the interests of clarity I'm happy to show how it looks at the moment.
I'm sure Ian won't mind a slight and temporary hijack of his thread in the interest of sharing
Cheers
Steve
I will mask for the lines and do a black wash for the cannons. Well that's the idea\ said:Looking good! What's your plan for getting the black lines and cannons?
I did it with strips of regular Tamiya masking tape. I used a 6mm roll (I think) but cut 2-2.5mm strips of it. I found it difficult to get it to stick cleanly due to the various moldings that pass for detail on the kit, so I sprayed at right angles to the masking and hoped for the best before making some touch ups.\ said:Any chance you can photo the masking itself? Having seen the 0.5mm tape, I'm curious how one would get the fine lines and Steve's already past that point...
I will show some pictures For you Michael\ said:Any chance you can photo the masking itself? Having seen the 0.5mm tape, I'm curious how one would get the fine lines and Steve's already past that point...
