Hello Seaspray - well, I have to say your work on the bridge roof looks great. :-)

As for the mast, like most construction jobs in this game, I'm sure will look the business once painted up - keep it going. :-))

Regards,

Ray.

Starting to assemble the rails and stanchions a little more tricky as there was some on the bow unlike the Meteor Now lets see if this computer behaves itself


pic 1 started to build the railings like the Meteor on a brass strip but changed my mind.
pic 2 tacked the stanchions in their places and threaded two bottom rails in place 0.4mm
pic 3 shaping the top rail around the bow
pic 4 started soldered top rail into position
pic 5 most of the railing fixed
pic 6 complete railing removed cleaned under hot water ready for spraying
pic 7 sprayed with etching primer and hung up to dry for a day of two
pic 8 slight damage to boat while building the rails and it being laying about for a time a resprayed is being done

Nice work on the railings. A section that size and complexity can often end in tears.

Cheers Steve
I done the rails this way as I opt to spray them off the boat. As painting them would be a pain in the butt. Anyway most of the white acrylic paints now a days is that thin its like painting milk on the railing. Although I have found 2 paints that have a little more body to them.  The first one is from the Games Workshop called Citadel, Ceramite White a base and with a little water added it has a reasonable coverage. Second one is Model Colour''s Acrylic, White, RAL 9016 it to is good. Ammo's their Signal Green A-.MIG-054 is almost a good match for Halford's Ford Mondena Green which I use for the decks
I don't use Humbrol or Tamiya paints anymore

Few picture of some little work done in the last week as I've been painting and decorating

pic 1,2 I have to use what wood is available and when the grain is open I use P38 smeared over the wood. Then run it down smooth with my drill. I will do this with ply in the future as it has been lying around the place for years.

pic 3 This lot of wood will become the two cranes when assembled.
pic 4 Railings all spray up with a coat of etching primer, a thin coat of white primer and then a coat of appliance white. Just got to scrap the paint of the bottom of the rail ready to insert rails into the deck.
pic 5 As the model has been knocked about for years a respray here and there was required. Just the hull bottom the spray with lacquer,job done

Main deck and forecastle deck railings. The railings  were a good fit after being sprayed up and fitted to the boat. But should have glued then as I fitted them in the first place. Removing them to glue caused a few problems. A little adjustment here an there a touch of paint and I think they'll be o.k.


Pic 1 Starting to fit rails
Pic 2,3, 4. Rails glued in place
Pic 5, 6. Starting to look like a boat now
