Neil I really don't know just following the paint guide for the control room sort of breaks it all up and makes it more interesting Imo

Brilliant Brian. I really am looking forward to the engine room build. All those wheels and dials!!!! Oooo, I don't envy you putting that lot together!!!! I suppose you'll be in your element??

I wonder if it's to make crew members easier to spot? Like the stripe and colour change around prison walls.

I thought that was done as a facsimile of the old Victorian Dado rail panel effect? It was common in municipal buildings and schools as I recal.

Very impressive painting there Brian, you must have very steady hands, it must have been very fiddly though

[Bri62]

Just the final end cap to put on but its proving tricky lining everything up.

 

[Bri62]

All done on the control room aft living space next

 

[Bri62]

some compartments look a bit clean will sort it out later.

 

[Bri62]

Made a start on the aft living quarters and also very happy with the amount of P.E,

 

[Bri62]

Morning guys, did a bit this morning not a lot to see but it's progress :smiling3:

 

[Bri62]

Had a couple of hours in the model room but most of it was waiting for stuff to dry.

 

[Waspie]

Nice steady progress Brian. Love getting the updates.
Seeing your builds Brian has made me realise what an untidy builder I am, (have become). I do try and organise myself and be tidy minded but it last about ten seconds!!!!!
