Thank you very much! I feel much better now, and i hope things will go faster. The "rough" work is almost completely finished, so I hope next month i can test the ship (in a shape of a big ugly white log) semewhere ina lake. Meanwhile i cant wait any more and temporary replaced a hammer with a brush. These details are still not fully complete, but they already started to take a shape. Please, don't judge me too hard, this is actually my first model paintjob, so i learn "on the fly". |

Wish Your health will improve quickly now. It's always great to see new elements done for this model - and don't worry about quality of paintjob. |

After 45 years I finally got around to buying an air brush kit a couple of years ago, before that everything was by hand. I am still learning to use the airbrush and occasionally fluke a decent paint job. From what you have shown so far, your on the fly learning is going very well. |

Hello again! A little more finished elements: Bofors ASW final and ready to be mounted to the model: 40mm Bofors final, colored as on Peder Skram: Mk 33 Gun mount completely colored, still without windows. Rear running light painted, assembled and working. It can be disassembled safely, if changing of the LED is required. I take few day-offs to work on the model, because slow progress killing me! So i hope I can share an update for the whole model soon. Have a nice day/evening! |

Hehe, my brother already wanted to eat that "chocolate candy Bofors" Unfortunately photo cant show the real color. I painted everything with bronze-like color, than some brown on the top, and when paint started to dry, i diluted it again and take some away with the hard brush. The effect is a mixed brown/gold plating. I'll try to make a better photo. |

Closeup. Actually brown paint was far more dull, but it unexpectedly, unlike another paints changes its color, when i apply the varnish. I'm afraid to remove all layers to try again, but i can try to apply another bronze layer - the paint is very diluted and maybe will change overall color, preserving the texture. If the results aren't good, i can safely remove the color with turpentine, the varnish is succeptable only to acetone. |

You do not happen to have drawing with measurements on of that 3" gun and the 40mm gun. I am considering updating some old Shipbucket parts drawings |
