Thank you :notworthy. Yes, it is big and I have another one, the Mig 29 but that is a bit smaller. More about that one later. Started painting this huge thing, blue first. This is after peeling a lot of the masking off and still more to be removed. Some imperfections near the engines, but...

Ha .... if I were to do a "what-If" I would do that, Arctic and all. He never went that far up north though. Repeating the fact that, the Bismarck was not a "she" but a "he" due to the tremendous historical figure of the Chancellor Otto von. Anyway, more celluclay laid today... First I put...

Lovely work Bob. Messy worker or not, the results are great. As for moving ... yuck.....way too many times to even want to start counting, I'll just say 5 times over the past 9 years alone. The record (distance wise - almost 9,000 miles) is migrating to Australia with a suitcase and a piece of...

Right, while the "water" on the Bismarck is taking it's sweet time to dry, more work being done on this beast. Primer done and wheel bays painted a shade of grey called light sea gull - Vallejo. Have to redo some areas, they are a bit too black. The engines will remain black, awaiting some...

Happy birthday Bob!! :drunks: :drink Anne (Laurence's better half) lol

More work done. With the first layer dry, I started the next layer, which is the foundation for the following one, outlining some shapes and volumes. Not too much done because this is not an even spread and I wanted to try something .... the first layer seems to be sucking out the moisture from...

That is so true, big bird and the details are fantastic - I'm gonna need another display cabinet. Laurence

Happy Birthday Bob and many returns !!! I will print and frame this photo :lol: Loving it :bigrin::bigrin::bigrin: Laurence

Thanks to the forever wet state of the celluclay I am laying on the Bismarck diorama, I thought I would distract myself from the strong temptation to go ahead with the water. I thought I would do something a bit different without going crazy about it. My online provider had some kits on special...

Thanks Mike, you're right, worth the wait provided I don't screw it up :bigrin:. I manage to give myself headaches just trying to sort it all out in my head. Not the end result, but how to get there - transition from transparent resin to celluclay and shaping the waves so they look natural...

I wouldn't trade that coat for a flag :bigrin: They look like it's a still from a movie and they are not even on the dio yet ... this is awesome. :tens: Laurence

I am speechless and a bit hypnotized :wow: ... I will certainly try to do my best on this one, have a few ideas but let me tell you, this Celluclay business is just like watching paint dry. Can you believe the darn thing still isn't fully dry yet? I have been taking it out on the balcony, few...

Proud to be in such select company :notworthy

I got absolutely ZERO of that thing .... sad ... very sad....

Right, time for an update - started doing the water. Things have more or less settled with us moving back to Sydney, work is a bit less crazy, so, time to make a start. Few words around this - the shiny stuff is aluminium foil, the kitchen thing, from the supermarket. I will be using Celluclay...

Nice one mate fun to watch this build :good: Laurence

I think posing and making all figures fall in place in a way that makes sense and absorbs the viewer is at least as difficult as painting them. If you ask me, that is way harder to achieve than painting figures to perfection. Wonderful stuff Bob :tens: Laurence

Sad thing is that slamming other people makes them less miserable, if not happy. Other than that, I agree, MA is an awesome bunch. Personally, I joined to learn a thing or two about models and I stayed on because of how supportive and encouraging this lot is. Time at the bench isn't always...

Well, that is the best news I have heard in a while, thank you Bob :notworthy And one of the Arizona - a cow of a kit .....bought it at Pearl, on our honeymoon. Hope this brings back some good memories :bigrin: Laurence

Same here, believe you me. That water needs to be sorted out still ... any news on that pesky email provider of yours ? Laurence
