Tirpitz with this and that, slow return for me
Evening Ian I would try to give julie a hug, but she's fast asleep! Not that brave lol. The wood deck kit does supply all the needed decks but I thought the practice would do me good. Painting will be a challenge so time for using masking fluid, its one big practice ship! Hope you are both 👍- BattleshipBob

Latest Acquisitions (2026)
Hi Tim I use to leave stuff drying either in new food containers with lids or larger in the booth and then cover with a cut down bed sheet. However no matter, dust always got in despite hovering first etc. So far, so good. Will use again tomorrow for the 2nd primer coat but at 15 mins- BattleshipBob

Latest Acquisitions (2026)
Being sick of painting then despite covering everything over, I still find dust in some of the paint. I've invested in a drying booth. Only small problem is no timer so you have to experiment and keep an eye on the time you need. The tirpitz bits are in Mr Surfacer 1500 dry in 20 mins, so 2nd...- BattleshipBob
