Evening fellas! Got in a good AB session this afternoon and got the base colors on the bulk heads and deck sections. Ran low on grey paint so the inside of the hull still needs to be done.Sorry there's no pics now,  the camera battery died on me and you'll have to wait patiently till tomorrow. |

Evening fellas! Just finished detail painting the control room and it's finished along with the galley and crew bunks.Having to use some artistic license on the detail painting. To bad it's all going to be hidden once assembled.

Thank you Todd! This heat and humidity is killing me on the brush painting.I really have to thin them so they'll flow nice. |

This weather does wreak havoc on painting! If brush painting, you could set up a wet pallet. They work great to keep things wet for an extended amount of time.
