Well done on the crew (so far). If you have the full 100, just do them a few at a time.
A thing I have found with the shiny matt paint, and varnish, is that it often just needs a bloody good stir and shake to get the pigments up in the suspension.

THANKS Ian an yes i did give the matt paints a good stir up in the tinlets but i think its because they are over 20 yrs old an the matt in the paint has gone off but im not goin to do the hundred as my eyes get eye strain now an i dont want to push them eps the one with the new lence in so im stickin at the 40 crew members that ive done an to day i'll have a look through all my paint tinlets for a clear matt varnish to get rid of that shine HOPEFULLY but if i an'it got none then i'll just go with them on the ship as they will soon wheather out in the open air an i think they will look ok on the ship as there will be plenty of detail to distract from the figures how's that
ATB to you Sir

Wondering if I can get a 1/200 Japanese set I could be tempted

WHAT of crew figures Bri ? as ive seen them crew figures in 1/350 for my big enterprise so i know they do them but 1/200 figures ive not seen but most of these 1/200 kits are only just comin out so i would think if there are 1/350 then then the 1/200 will be bigger an it will set the ship off no end an jap sailors are easy to paint as from what ive seen on the real ship they just have white uniforms
Chrisb
Just seen 1/200 generic sailors but....£18 plus post for 30
ION models has 1/200 japanese crew set and a Japanese naval air crew set.
yes but how many an how much ? mr sheep
chrisb
WELL that aint bad Bri as my H/O railway figures were 14 pound for 20 figs i think an remember Bri fittin on the crew figs will show off in scale just how big the yammy was so in my opinion go for them figs
chrisb
WELL Bri just to show you how well the crew figurs show up on the ship an really makes the model here are some around the captains speed boat on my
