Excellent paintwork. Really complements the build.

Well I started decaling today and they just broke up in the water, so after some choice words. I decided to paint them on. Not done much, but I’ve made a start.

Looking really good! nice work.

 

[Steve-the-Duck]

Nice start there, but it's all sounding depressingly familar!

 

[papa 695]

Been a while, just getting over Man-flu, but got the roundels and stripes painted and put on the small decals.

Going to start building these now.

 

[Neil Merryweather]

[Guest]

Sorry I've looked in before Ian.
Love the idea of the painted roundels etc, they look really impressive. Your take on the wood is good, never an easy thing to replicate at the best of times.


One of my first builds was one of these from Airfix , way back in the depths of time , built and painted in a day of course and looked nothing like yours of course.

Nice .

Thats a great paint job Ian

 

[papa 695]

Thanks guys. I’ve got the guns built, painted and fitted now.

 

[papa 695]

Ok I’ve done a little more to this, got the lower rigging done also fitted the struts and painted the prop.

 

[Steve-the-Duck]

Another excellent wood-effect prop

 

[Mark1]

Nice.

 

[The Smythe Meister]

[Neil Merryweather]

that's a stonking paint job on the propeller!
I really must resurrect my unfinished camel sometime

 

[papa 695]

Thanks guys. I’m heading towards the finish line now.

 

[Guest]

This is gorgeous! I love it and that wood effect is just stunning.

 

[yak face]

Looking sweet now Ian , cheers tony

 

[papa 695]

Nearly got this one completed, just a bit more rigging to do and a little weathering.
