Long time no update but finally here is one.

The hull where the torpedoes launch from were masked and touched up.

Sorry for the slow response Jason its probably the correct colour but lighten it for a scale effect i.e. smaller it is lighter it should be just my opinion.

Here some pics of the 1/700 German destoryer I'm working on. This is my 1st ship. all the superstructures are just placed for photos.

The Instructions call for german grey as the main color but this seems to dark to me. What color should it be? As allways all comments welcome.

Jason

Thanks Jason

I think its getting there ever so slowly.

Cheers

Fordboy

Fordboy Very nice I like the effect that gives

Jason

To those following along I decided to add some more off white to the hull and superstructure:

Great idea Bondoman however I havea cunning plan to update the sight.

Here are some images of her ready for paint just before I started the compressor up:

Cheers

Fordboy

The rear gun deck sight was solid so I hollowed it out hope you can make it out.

 I tried to make the centre hole larger and to insert a sight however the plastic (which is pretty soft and crappy) broke therefore I just left it alone.

Cheers

Fordboy

Well she sits rather lonely in the drydock awaiting paint:

Cheers

Fordboy

Hi Bondoman - great to see you around.

Got the old paint brush out and undercoated the propellers.

Yes the colour is rather garish but that will be fixed in the final detailing.

Cheers

Fordboy
