Hi All,Thanks for looking in and comments, been a little slow over past couple of weeks. I have masked the decks then painted in Light grey. Now I'm masking off for the camo on the Fore structure.

Nice work on that superstructure Chris. All of that lovingly applied PE detail really pops when it's all brought together with a coat of grey over the top of it! I don't envy you trying to mask that lot without accidentally knocking a few bits off or bending them out of shape!
Excellent work so far, well done and keep it up.

Beautiful.... love it Chris... Looking at that superstructure gives me an indication as to how my Bizzy will hopefully look.... Can see masking off may be a little problematic.....  .. Keep those pics coming.... Regards Alan

Hi Guys, Thanks for the nice comments. Here I have finished masking most of the structure. I have also done painted the medium grey so I can then mask the rest for the Dark Grey.

Hi Chris As Tony says looks complicated  Think it takes a lot of time,patience, skill and experience I would be too scared to attempt this kind of paint job Am dreading if I ever get to the painting stage of mine with the basic grey, hull red and bootstrap which are straight lines Can’t wait to see the end result will set model to palladium edition May I ask as never attempted anything like this myself Once your masking is complete can you spray the exposed areas the colour you want or do you have to spray the same colour that is under the masking first  Thanks

Superb work Chris. That is some time consuming masking to get that effect. Mark

Credit where it's due Chris, that's a fantastic bit of camo painting and very much the result of some very time consuming and accurate masking. Well worth all of that effort!
Very well done, she looks great!

Hi Chris Looks like she has turned out very well I suspect this will be down to the amount of time, patience and skill invested in the preparation before the actual painting process  (I have 1 out of those 3  )

Hi guys, Thanks for looking in and comments. Sorry for the lack of pics, I did do 21 pics of this stage but my Memory card packed in while plugged into Macbook. It's now un recognised by any device. So had to use an older card for now. This section is ready for primer but will move upwards and make more so can prime at same time.
