With my deadline set, Yeovilton 2015 on 21st Feb, I made a list of things still to do and started cracking on
Examples of things left to do, finsih the spotlights, lots of little deck bits to add, guards around the guns, life boats, paint the blast bags on the secondary gun turrets, fore and aft masts, hose reels, ammo boxes, single 25mm AA guns and flags. I think that covers it, some of these are already at some point in my production line of prmer, paint and varnish.
Once all is assembled and a couple of touch ups done I will then see if I have time to give it a dry brush in places, any suggestions for colours appreciated, im thinking a light grey but with an oiil paint as the Tamiya acrylics with thinner tends to dry out too quickly.
A couple of pictures of where I am, with sandbags hand painted, triple 25mm AA guns added and a start to filling in the deck with the small deatils.
