TYNE Class Lifeboat build

that's a filler primer matey……..fills all the scratches and imperfections....it will have 3 - 4 coats of that all over the boat...

but I wont be doing it or the top coats.

my friend Dave Stavros Jones who is a professional car body repairer and sprayer has volunteered to spray the boat for me, knowing how impatient I am at painting, when all the pieces are in place that need to be painted orange blue or red oxide..

he is going to paint the boat in two pac paint in the spray room.

just like he did for me with these two.

Very nice models, and Pro job too, Neil

Well......My regards to Stavros and Phil Button too

Both nice chaps, we used to met to them at Llanberris and the good old Colwyn Bay annual regatta and the shows of course

Hello Neil

As always you have produced a superb standard of build, no matter how messy I make my workshop I still can't manage your level of skill.

Paul

cant stop laughing at that one Paul.....A+ for your observational skills at least...…….I just can't believe how I can produce models in there...….takes me a day to find some working space large enough.

will pass on your message Bob.

well it was like Christmas for a 5 year old today......my new propellers from PROPSHOP have arrived, and I am almost orgasmic...…...they are beautiful.

I just cannot understand how Simon Higgins can sell them for that price. he has to cast them in bronze, drill and tap them with the thread ordered, in my case 4mm, and then grind them down, balance them for weight and then polish them to such a lovely sheen...……..no soldering....all for only 25 quid each.

they are beyond words!

Neil

To paraphrase a well known term, '

Behind every great model builder there is messy workshop'
