Beautiful to find no bleed I bet, well done Bob.

More spraying today then back to the bridge, which is the worse. One deck level warped and a lot of poor fit.
Built these two units, they set either side of the lower bridge and have a glass panel. No idea what they are, the navigation lights are mounted on the outside.
They have to be fired first as the deck above virtually traps them. So first use of masking fluid. Hopefully when I spray the bridge as one the glass will be ok?
You can hopefully see the fluid.
They sit on the peg behind the almost square tub.

Another attempt, small funnel. Bugger to mask due the numerous moulded lines
will need some tidying up.
Decided to spray the bridge in stages due the amount of detail which would be hard to paint. However the seams are still a bit visible. Spent ages but cheesed off and a lot. Might leave.
But Impressed with the masking fluid on the 'glass'

Time she's all done and sitting on the shelf you wont notice them seams bob, I think you've a pretty good job,they were big and awkward to fill and sand .
Cheers Mark, seams are one area I must improve on
Using masking tape and fluid on the quarterback. About 80% ok. Some paint creep and my attempts to brush paint over the linoleum have not been very successful. I masked the linoleum areas and sprayed the grey
now the dilemma? Attempt to repaint the linoleum by light sanding or strip the lot. I think you can use Mr color thinner OR leave it.
Whatever on the other deck I'll use less masking fluid, put it down first and layer tape over the top

The main thing Bob is to enjoy the building , never had any dealings with lino. The light sanding would seem the better than attempting a full strip. From the photo it's looks fine , so agree with Chris .
Looks great, a few touch ups will take care of the minut amount of bleed. As for the photo, why make them smaller?
Nicely done Sir.
A good tip Bob: Take your magnifier OFF when looking at the paintwork.
No need to sand or strip anything. What type of paint is it by the way?
