        Thanks Paul, needs another coat, then brush for the bases of the vents etc, followed by a lot of masking to paint barbette etc

                As normal my PE skills are poor to say the least! The first walk way and railings is not good at all, the 2nd one I am doing differantly by add the walk way first then adding the fiddly railings

                PE sure gives me headaches lol

                      Hi Bob
                      That is really impressive. All looks very neat and tidy and you've done a great job with the pe.

                        The PE is spot on.

                          Looks good mate. PE can be a trial, but you’re getting the hang of it.
                          Have to wonder though, if Tacom think plastic is good enough for the ladder, why didn’t they think it was good enough for the railings? I should think they are of a similar cross section.....

                              Good point Tim, the railings are very thin and delicate, and yes PE is a trial lol

                                Sorry Bob late again its of monolithic proportions how daunting would it have been to stand along side the real thing ,you can hardly claim to be working in braille scale ,if we need to have a whip round for the paint count me in ,will try and keep up from now on.Dave.
