Ok time for some small updates - sorry its been so long but I've been too busy to get on with the build. Right time for stairs and pipework
Having made the railings for the stairs which I found to be very tricky it was time to get the paint on them. I had a little production line on the go!
A couple of pictures of the fitted stairs
Next up was the pipework that goes from the winch housing to the rear deck. I messed up a bit here as I only took a couple of photos
Then how they look painted albeit on the other side of the deck
Then some smaller pipework - This is 0.5mm brass which I found difficult to paint for some reason. Even though I used etch primer the black paint just did not want to go on smoothly. I guess its just the small diameter of the brass?
Then DISASTER
I wanted to paint the recesses in the winch house black but even though I used the same paint that I always have I have a big reaction which ruined the finish
Not to worry though I spent a few hours rubbing it back and painted it to its original green. The masking up though was something to behold.
I'll get some more pictures up later - Thanks for looking Mark
