Re. the bridge deck painting. That is the trouble with model ship painting, you have to think and act ten steps ahead of any actual gluing! :upside:

Onwards and upwards.....

Evening all

Was hoping to do a lot more on Graf over xmas but sadly Julies dad was taken to hospital 3am xmas day and is not at all well. So its been a worrying time.

But today added the false bow waves using for the first time AK masking putty. What great stuff! Not 100% but i think it looks ok.
