I won't tell a soul...just our little secret. ;)
 
Jim you are such a plonker, everyone and his dog can read this, if you want a private conversation you need to pm (that's private message) them and I know it's confusing but eddiesolo is actually Si, (you'll have to forgive him Si he's new to this) its great you've started this again Jim looking good so far, is that the airfix kit.
 
Thread owner

Damn, that's a shame.
 
Hi jim can you not save the transom (that's the stern part of the ship) or use that part as a pattern to make a new one from.

hi all good news I got the new part for this boat:D but I have not got a very small paint brush to paint between the windows and I mean small paint brush because I also have to paint certain parts black and the wooden parts yellow and the glass blue I looked on scale model shop but I can not fined the smallest brush for the job and now it's a headache to find the smallest tipped paint brush:mad:
 
Great news jim, tip, use a cocktail stick for fine detail, I use them all the time, it's what I'm using on the Wasa, I guarantee the detail on the Wasa is finer than anything on the victory, dip the cocktail stick in the very edge of the paint on the tin lid (after you've given the tin a good shake ) don't dip it in the paint tin its self as you can't control how much paint you can get on the stick, the idea is to get a small amount of paint on the tip then apply to where you want it, it takes a bit of practice but once you've mastered it you won't use any other method. I am so pleased you are starting this one again.
 
Paint the whole thing yellow, then pick out the detail in black (always do the lightest colour first you will never cover black with yellow it is the weakest pigment) incidentally I think you would get a better impression of glass using gloss black rather than blue for the windows if you look into a unlighted house window the window looks black the only colour is the reflection from outside which the gloss black will give you.
