I would recommend you do a trial first on some scrap. If your not carful you can get to much build up of paint which can result in you having a ridge.

As always when trying something new experiment with it firstBigGrin

Hi
I will point out that the second yellow coat is just a quick brush over to seal the tape. The method works fine and I used it on my Vic build and can see no visible ridge where the two colours meet-

http://forum.model-space...osts&t=6074&p=2

You can also use a matt varnish instead of the yellow to seal the tape.

But, as Jase suggested, if you have doubts you could also have a practice on some scrap wood before trying on the VicBigGrin

I know what you mean about the wriggles, I painted my Vic stripes way earlier than the mags say to. I did it when I had a nice clean hull with no obstructions for the masking. There were many cases of re-touching later though but I though this was an easier way for me.

hi steve,
I just never realised what involved in painting,as it is my first build after all. There are a lot of instances in the magazine where some things should have been done at different stages etc., but not knowing what to expect what do you do. I am not complainingMellow like the masts for example, it might have been better done after the hull was finished. I am still enjoying the build after all said and done.
Great hobby to do.BigGrin BigGrin even better when I get all the advice I have had, I presume I am not the only one. BigGrin BigGrin
Thanks again
rob

ps. just had a look at your great build and seen there were no wriggles when you painted. OH! hindsight again.BigGrin BigGrin

Hi Pete
I did see some other ways to do this but I used the mag / official build way and found it to be fine, not easy I admit and a bit repetitive but take your time and it will be okBigGrin, you may even work out another method while you are doing it.

You may need to find those deadeyes again as there are not many spares supplied.

No need to order back issues though - http://www.cornwallmodel...artesania-deadeyes.html

I will say one thing I did though was to use black coated wire of a slightly thinner gauge. The reason for this is that I wanted the deadeyes black as per the the real Victory and this saved painting the wire, easier to twist also so maybe that's why I had no real troubleLaugh

I only noticed on the off chance that the real ones are black so that's what I did.
Make a little board with some inverted masking tape, stick them all down and spray them, then turn them over, easy!BigGrin

Hi Folks, back again,at last, just never had much chance on my boat over the last months. Scrounging for info again.
Anyway, I am on 83. I am about to glue the acetate etc, It says to use clear glue as superglue is not suitable,
could any shed light on this as this is my first build things just pop up for me to buy or ask etc.
Which glue to use etc.
just put the cannon port lids on as you can see,does not look too bad.
thanks for any info.
