Yay me - partially for now ... Coat of Tamiya Clear first then Vallejo Matte. Then more peeling and replacing, while cleaning all the parts and reattaching them ...fun ! Thanks for watching, Laurence

Something interesting in the photo below... There are two round holes above the waterline, dead center on the stern. Apparently those were to release smoke, to obscure the view of the ship or something. Bit of a strange feature. If you think about it, how easy would have been to have a pin at...

Thanks Paul. I'll do my best. I like the look of this new deck I bought, it is slightly weathered already. Painted the big red flags bow and stern, Baltic scheme in full, as originally intended. I'll have to give it a matt varnish coat or two, looks too "new", but that's coming soon (I hope).

Holy "whole bunch of cows". Thanks MP. Finished peeling off the whole wooden deck, removing every single little piece of plastic or PE on the main deck, trying to preserve them as much as possible.

Next steps include - fixing various elements attached to the hull, such as the propeller guards, life boats on the deck, chains, ropes. Then correcting some paint issues - after removing the hull from the base as it were, noticed some areas that required corrections. Had to remove the whole...

The Bismarck diorama went from bad to worse, with me making the mistake of continuing along a path that I never really liked. After way too many months of contemplation and procrastination, hoping the issue would just go away by simply swearing at it, I decided to reset things and back to square...

Thanks Saul - I wanted the Romanian markings but can't buy those separately and I couldn't be stuffed trying to print them myself.

Thank you :good:

Thank you - ended up spending more $$$ than I first intended, but happy with the result.

Thanks MP - It was and also some strange opinions on what planes are considered "post WW2".
