Absolutely essential in all good toolkits! Kindly donated by my GF, it's great for those fine sanding tasks.
This was the method taken with the flag:
- Masked up the material leaving 1mm showing all round
- Applied superglue to the unmasked area to seal it. This changes the colour slightly (becomes a shade lighter)
- The glue provides the rigidity to then cut the flag out from the surround
- Added a spot of glue at the end of each tab. Glued it to the staff at these points and let dry
- Wrapped the flag around the staff then glued to fix
All rails have now been epoxied to the deck section.
The gaps in the rails received some Tamiya putty and were sanded into shape.
Another portion of the deck under the superstructure was removed to give better access to the battery later on.
Some combing will be applied here as a margin.
The lifebelts received a coat of orange, before getting masked to apply a coat of white.
Used small shaped strips of plastic to act as a clamp to affix them to the railings.
