Re. the bridge deck painting. That is the trouble with model ship painting, you have to think and act ten steps ahead of any actual gluing!

Morning Chris

She had 6 x 11 inch and 8 x 5.9 inch secondary battery

Very windy here, had to use cable ties to keep the old wig on

 

[BattleshipBob]

Two coats of mr surfacer primer then two coats of mr color grey, sprayed hatches and barbettes etc ready for decks

Although many comments about there accuracy and Trumpeters schemes?



Next is false bow waves, varnish, wood decks and bash at washes, rust etc

Getting there albeit slowly!

Usual insults expected

 

[BattleshipBob]

Evening all

Was hoping to do a lot more on Graf over xmas but sadly Julies dad was taken to hospital 3am xmas day and is not at all well. So its been a worrying time.

But today added the false bow waves using for the first time AK masking putty. What great stuff! Not 100% but i think it looks ok.

C C as always !
Bob

Looks good Bob. Hope Julie’s dad is on the mend.
