Update.

Hi got the H/S out and got all the painting done, just a light wash to highlight the nooks and crannies.

I have removed the four propellor blades and the two rudder blades for it to lay better in the gel.











Thank you for looking in.
Pete.

Pete,
You really do have the knack of making these builds look special.

Hi John, no apologies needed there are so many builds to keep up with, if anything I owe you an apology for not leaving a comment or two on your great build I do keep up with yours and everyone else's builds, so many good ones around now, but everyone beat me to the good comments.
Thank you for dropping in and leaving a nice comment. Back to the other two ships.
Pete.

Pete,
Just joined in on this build and not a minute too soon. Excellent, and a complete change from 'normal' items. How did you do the water, and does it come in different shades/colours.

Hi very small update.

This is the 2nd layer of gel it's about 5mm deep and still has 12h to go before the next layer of clear gel then foam.


The light blue is where it's still drying out.


Thank you.
Pete. :sleeping::sleeping::sleeping::sleeping::sleeping:
