    Tirpitz with this and that, slow return for me

    What I have done is to paint a separate plank either with the brown shadow or another with the bluey coloured darkener Also then mixed together, but of course randomly Let it dry then using a brush remove using ( yes) remover. I have been almost dry brushing but next I'll load the brush more

    Pesky dust and blowing it away

    Sorry Jim, forgot to reply. Good idea, biggest problem with ships of course is they tend to be long, especially Hood

    Hi Tim So far ok, will see after its dried. But the lack of instructions is terrible.

    Tirpitz with this and that, slow return for me

    The satin varnish seems to have done a good job of bringing out various shades of brown planks Did make a start at the stern but overdid the bluey shadow. Must have left it dry too long so the remover didn't remove much. One to watch out for. However the instructions, bugger all.

    Pesky dust and blowing it away

    True, but getting a large enough one to cover a 1 350 hull or worse a 1 200 hull is a problem

    Pesky dust and blowing it away

    Think I might know where the problems lie? The stuff doesn't look like dust or hairs but look like tiny straight lengths of possibly fibres? I use the green paper sheets you some times get in paper towel dispensers. Or general serviettes to wipe brushes in. What is best to use??

    Me too lol! Just put a spare bit of wood deck on plastic card. Instructions say to varnish first.

    Tirpitz with this and that, slow return for me

    Not painted yet but fitted Given up trying to cover the marks ( self inflicted ) on the pe decks but the centre section represents metal deck on the ship and has brush painted ok. So used Tamiya varnish on the plastic deck then fitted the wood deck. Not the best quality. But more practice. So...

    Sprue goo?

    Didn't mention what filler i use at the moment. Creative materials, like the way it can be removed with a damp cotton bud. But always interested in different methods / ideas. Biggest area i use it for is around the prop shafts etc

    Me again, brush painting PE

    Hi Jim, I did use that in prep and was wondering after John's replie that I could just paint it on the patch. I'll give it a go as all the build is one big practice anyway and the ship will be thrown out
