Day 36

Time for primer. I will still leave the funned removable it will make it easier to weather I think.

I also managed to paint the water tank but it had two different shades of green before I decided on this one. Should look good with some streaking grime. It wouldn't be in a position for taking a bashing so there will be little work to do on this part. I think the extra detail I added makes it look a little more convincing to the eye.

I love what you have done to the funnel. That looks very sooty! Nice.

Thanks Ian, I used Black pigments and a good stiff bush. Came out great I'm impressed (very smug expression on face).

Day 38 - 39

More progress on the front cabin section. Still no planking!! this will prove to be a problem if I don't get any soon as I need it before I can start the next deck level.

Hi Andy,

I have never really been a boat person, but this is simply stunning Sir, each time I see that you have posted I pop in to check it out and each time I am impressed...

Andy...
 
Thread owner
Thanks Andy. I always try to impress and your valued comments and all the other guys tells me im on the right track. My next project will be nice and clean as im thinking on building a steam boat complete with the steam plant and im hoping it will be a showcase piece.

Cheers

Andy
 
See what happens when I don't keep up with progress?

Brilliant stuff Andy...It's come on leaps and bounds since I last looked. The weathering is excellent - top marks!

Day 40 -42

I have made some progress over the last few days especially the last two as I finally got the planking I need. I made sure I brought a lot more than I need this time so I don't have to wait 4 weeks again. I have added a few more touches to the weathering that I think was needed and managed to fit quite a few more parts.

Furniture and crockery for the Captains Cabin

The Captains Cabin is now in place but still a bit of work inside to do before we move the furniture inside.
