Thank you all for all your kind words and comments. These gestures are often what keeps me and I am sure many others from grinding to halt and keeps the spirit alive to continue. Thank you, more to follow as there is still much to be done. Rgds, Hans

Hello fellow builders. Well this is my first airbrush excercise and feel I have not faired too badly. Was very nervous at first but then just followed through. I realize there is much to learn but with the right tools anything is possible. I continued and added the colour by hand, far more daunting and required a steady hand, mmmm obviously not that steady. So produced the shield and cherubs. Still need slight touch ups but good to go. Next episode is to detach lines, install and reinstall lines. Hans attached the following image(s): Rgds, Hans

Thank Derek and Alan for looking in. Time is a problem for me so I fortunately, will not be rushed to finish as I still need to do the cutaway, gunport lids and fit the guns, which I know is going to take time. Thoroughly enjoying the build though. Thank you for the support, greatly appreciated. Rgds, Hans

Thank you John, Tom and Steve. It was daunting but once I started it was a good challenge, made a few mistakes and still have to do a little touch up, but felt comfortable. Some have made comments on other posts that have said practice, practice and when you think you have it practice again. I must agree wholeheartedly with them. Thank you for looking in. Rgds, Hans

Hello fellow builders. Just a small update on my build. The shield and cherubs installed into position. It is almost a pity that it is covered up with the bowsprit sail, but the overall picture is crucial when fitting all the sails so it must be expected and accepted. Rgds, Hans

Hello Fellow Builders Just a small update where the shield and cherubs have been installed in position. Its a pity that they will not be too visible due to the positioning of the bowsprit sail. Oh well, can't have it all. Hans attached the following image(s): Rgds, Hans
