Yes the really messy one with my tools all over the place
Now this is messy.
But there is no desk!
lol
Is this the deck befor you painted it black after the brown? Looks very brown all over in the photos I'm looking at.
I see you left the soldering iron turned on. More lights?
Dont forget the areas that will show most ware on the deck are around hatches, and the deck canon. Also to the conning tower and on the CT decks a lot of ware will be present.
What do you think of those paints you got. Any good? they look OK. (but then I am apparently colour blink... lol. )
There very nice go on lovely but clean up is not too good, the paint dries in the cup far too quick
OMG I wouldn't be able to sleep at night if my room resembled thatNow this is messy.
This is the deck after the brown and before the black, I was still soldering the led wires :thumb2:
A bit more done, up to now everything fitting just fine.
That really does look the business! :thumb2:
Tried to have an hour but got an arthritis flair up so on hold atm guys. :sad:
God I hate getting old!!

Tell me about it. And we're not even that old.
The u boot is looking the beez kneez
That's true Ian I should have said older :smiling3: I'm sure serving in the forces knackers your body lol (20 yrs up and down engine space ladders)
Don't go there!!! You'll start the 'tankies' off.
Getting there but having to let everything dry fully as the glue is holding some hefty stuff together.
You can see the hole right of the periscope stowage that's where the wires were supposed to go but i glued it in place before I realised so had to make a route of my own :smiling3:

She is really taking shape now.

Paint this morning, I did all of the anti-fowling and yes it looks black but there is a blue/purple hue which looks really nice.
Not at all happy with the life colour paint (comes off with the masking even after 4 days so plenty cured) also clean up is a real pain and takes twice as long than any other paint. Anyway some pics of progress
Paint coming off with masking (Tamiya)
Flag fixed
