Lol you know how it is, it’s not a build until blood

Not going PE crazy on this one, got in way over my head on first one and didn’t finish it, got Hood and Missouri in the stash

 

[bcsoseven]

Portholes and windows, got almost all of the deck cut out and fine tuning it before application. I’m going to use the seams in the deck to make the deck in slightly smaller sections because last time it got off just a tad and gave me a headache lol

Getting ready to paint the hull and stuff, trying this new glue for photo etch

​

 

[bcsoseven]

First red coat, it will dry to a Matt finish and after I do slight weathering and add the boot stripe it should look good

​

 

[bcsoseven]

Final flat coat and hull will be done

​

May have to re do the boot stripe that little wiggle is driving me nuts!!!

If you would not change it -> you will see it every time looking at her and beeing angry about yourself, that you did not change it - I know this situation very well.

It is easy to do because I use trim tape from RC aircraft

Shading, clear cement for portholes , shading put on, then I will use a wet q-tip to blend, I’ll send after pic

Close up of deck after doing some shading, not going to go crazy with weathering or anything just some shade, just got to add a couple more pieces and finish life rings
