Paint problems.
My favourite primer - Panzer Grey has lifted on my brass barrel. I have rubbed this down and recoated.
Now waiting until tomorrow before I recoat.

Perhaps the Panzer Grey is too old.

Its now been 70 years since the end of WWII!!

What about some nice Halfords Grey Primer??

It seems to have a better hold now, will only really be able to tell after the next coat.

I was not happy with the gun barrel, it was too thin and flimsy, at present I am attempting to rectify this.

I also sometimes have problems with things that are too thin and flimsy...can I come to you for rectification

Rectification at any time for you.
Sanding my new barrel down at the moment.
I begin to think that I should have left well alone.

Here we are some undercoat on the new barrel. The rest has had a coat of clear.
I need some decals, transfers, this gun was named HILDA.
I still think I need a bit of flare out at the barrel end.

Keep persevering Zak...it will all be worth it in the end. looking outstanding allready!!

Thanks, if only we could get it right the first time.

If only I could get it right ANY TIME.

Some weathering and dry brushing done. Once dry I will apply matt varnish and then some weathering powders.

Looks 'Railly Good'.
Hope to see this at Northern Model Show, Zak.

Anyway congratulations for exceeding the 20,000 hit mark for 'Modelling World War 1'. There is obviously a lot of interested followers out there.
Are you thinking of setting up a 'fan club'?
Though probably not a good idea as you would need to grow what hair you have got left to look hip.
Well Done,
Bigkev

Thank you for the 20,000, tomorrow the world.
It may be at the Northern show, but at the moment I am not sure.

More paint applied.
That's it for a while, it needs some contemplation from a distance.
