Hi All, Here are the Main guns, et after their final coat of grey. I have all the 100 or so lockers to paint next. It's gonna be a tedious job. I will get some duck tape and stick them all to it then paint them as blue tack isn't up to small items.

Cheers Chris.BigGrin

BigGrin Hi Chris lookin' superb Drool fresh and clean too Drool

May i ask:-
Confused The decking plank templates for my Bismarck feels dry and quite brittle...... would you recommend treating them to a splash of Danish oil.

Mellow I am along way off before these parts are required but thinking if i do it now it will have plenty of time for the oil to soak in and nourish the wood.

Crying Worried in case they splinter when handling etc
Thanks

Fabulous work as always Chris, a pleasure to watch you at work - well done!! Drool Cool ThumpUp

What brand of airbrush is that hanging on your wall by the way, it looks quite meaty and I see you also have a Spitfire build on the go as well judging by that instruction sheet at the end of your bench? Would that be an Airfix kit

Cheers guys,
Budgie, yeah the decks are really brittle but handles with care are OK. I didn't treat mine but to u can try Danish oil on a spare bit of deck to see how it takes and looks.

KeV, Not sure what make the airbrush is. I got it from airbrush company on eBay. I also got two normal dual action airbrushes with it. The Spitfire is my lads he got it for Christmas. Its his first kit. He is waiting o prime it now. It is airfix.

Andy. Yeah it seems to be never ending with the deck furniture.

Cheers guys.

Cheers Alan,
Here are the lockers and other deck furniture on double sided carpet tape. Works a treat for holding all the pieces.
