Tad more, started on the railings


Spot the misstake??

Painted the top bits but should have painted the bridge first, one to sort out in the future!

Added some railings, a friend kindly supplied some assorted metal bar cut too size so ideal for doing curves etc

Stopped when i realised the top of the bridge is deck color, bad planning, bugger!

Still practicing on the more complex bits before i use the actual kit railings

[BattleshipBob]

Thats more like it

Have started a book, on each page there are things i need to sort out or do better!!

On volume 4 already!

Thanks Tim, painted first but most came off. So in the future i will have to brush paint carefully or airbrush when possible

Might be worth metal blackening them then just a light dry brush to finish?
