Afternoon Ron
Thought so, with the items being small on the deck i think i should be able to get away with it !!

It's just an underwater StuG.
It looks like the upper edge of the boot topping to me Bob.

Found this on Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HMS_D...Gibraltar_territorial_waters_MOD_45160525.jpg
There does seem to be something catching the light above the boot topping.

Bob take it from me that line is the black boot toppin as ive been studying petes pisc an its not too far below where the front ankor is so if you paint up to that line with black you will be right in my opinion
OLD BOATY CHRIS LOL
Too late its gone lol
This is the Trumpy paint chart, you can see the line above the boot topping, my brain hurts lol
So removed the line right or wrong, sanded and added bulbous bow thingy
Will finish hull then prime to see if its ok
Been trying the fit of superstructure some tidying to do

Bob, let your brain hurt no more.
Chris is spot on. The line is simply a demarcation between the black and grey.

Dear Nelson, hope your missing arm does not stop you scratching on the poop deck sir
Good job I'm not Capt. Hook! :flushed:
That would make your one remaining eye water sir:dizzy:
Bob, without putting too finer point on it (Great pun, eh?) it's not my eye that I need to scratch!
You should be on the stage, out of town. Lol
Be very, very careful how you go and what you scratch lol
Afternoon:upside:
Right, added bilge keels (right name??) and 2 stabliser fins? Used Mr Surfacer 500 as filler on the backs of the bilge keels for the first time, using cotton buds soaked in thinner to remove, will deffo use again, worked well.
Also prop shafts and support brackets, will leave off props and rudders incase i knock the buggers off!
Next started on PE, simple doors and grills, but made a right mess of a small grill, mangled it when cutting off the fret, so tried using tamiya masking tape to stick the fret/parts onto first, so when I cut the parts off it held the part steady so saving damage! You can see the ruined grill top right 3 pic, and the much better ones, phew learned something new, for once lol
Also fitted the copter hanger. One big problem, my workstation which is great for armour models only just fits Daring, so need to sort something out!!!
Next up more PE then the deck
A ??? Should i fit all the deck bits, bollards, reels etc, etc then paint the deck followed by brush painting the bits or paint the deck first then add the bits pre painted first??

Nice progress Bob.
Because I brush paint, I would usually paint the deck first. This allows for a nice 'sweep' of the brush, without the danger of paint gathering around the bits. Then add the bits, which I paint on the sprues.
...again, you will probably get different answers to your question.
Your friend,
Popeye
