Just reworked the first two cannons. I initially painted it but was not happy with the outcome.  I bought myself an airbrush and Humbrol enamel bronze (171) paint. It was a bit of a struggle to get the old paint off! I've completed the airbrushing and is happier with the result, the details are much more visible!  Kobus

Pierre Hi Pierre Thanks for the welcoming. I realy look forward to the build, I'm getting impatience with the waiting for the next delivery from Jacklin, but as Hans has reminded me that 'This hobby is all about patience!' I follow all the other SOTS builds and I'm getting good ideas for mine. Regards Kobus

Good to see your pics Kobus. you are coming along nicely, take your time and enjoy. I will be joining you in a few months time as I need to complete my Victory before I start on another build. If you are the impatient type and have the time, why do you not acquire a second smaller build and do them side by side?? Rgds, Hans

Hi Hans That is exactly what I'm considering doing, especialy to get some practise on the planking. Is there any good small projects that you can recommend? Regards Kobus
