Im good thx mike how have u been. I'm about 3 issues behind. as its my first ship so I'm waiting for the more experienced people to do there's incase you find a problem. One thing I was gonna ask was how u was finding the build so far? Because I would of thought by now the hull at least would have been finished by now just seems hacthette have got it a bit arse about face lol. Do u feel the same or is it normal for the hull to take this long to finish? CURRENT BUILDS

ISSUE 55 BUILD Hi Team here is the latest update of the Hood, I have followed the instructions but used a different Humbrol paint (the build calls for 145) I have used 27 sea grey, I changed the colour because this is available in tinlet and aerosol spray from all good Model shops but if you have difficulty finding it you can go to Hobbycraft, so this particular colour is available nationally. This is what we received this week:- MWG attached the following image(s): MWG BUILD DIARIES: HMS VICTORY, SOVEREIGN OF THE SEAS, SAN FRANCISCO II, HMS HOOD, HMS ENDEAVOUR LONGBOAT, HMS VICTORY X-SECTION, 007 DB5, NISSAN GTR, CUTTY SARK, RB7, AKAGI, BARK HMS ENDEAVOUR, HUMMER H1, MITSUBISHI ZERO.

ISSUE 55 BUILD Well here we are with the final part, painting the turrets. I did not prime the plastic I brush painted them applying a thin coat, highlighting the rivits and getting a weathered look on the overall turret (I am very pleased with the result) Please take a look ( I will apply another thin coat on the brass etch only):- MWG attached the following image(s): MWG BUILD DIARIES: HMS VICTORY, SOVEREIGN OF THE SEAS, SAN FRANCISCO II, HMS HOOD, HMS ENDEAVOUR LONGBOAT, HMS VICTORY X-SECTION, 007 DB5, NISSAN GTR, CUTTY SARK, RB7, AKAGI, BARK HMS ENDEAVOUR, HUMMER H1, MITSUBISHI ZERO.

Hi Mike! I like the way you have painted the turrets, the paint does look like it’s been in a number of storms. The newsagent must get worried if you’re not on the doorstep each Wednesday morning when he opens Mike!  Darron
