Thought the 2 small boats finished - with brass oars added but looking at the photo its back to the cleaning up and paint on the bow of the top boat - don't you just hate photos - hohohhoho

They can be a blessing in disguise.

Nice bit of work going on there MSea.  Do the kits compare favourably to other manufacturers?  I really do want to have a go at a floaty thing soon but don't fancy paying £50 for a kit then having to buy brass on top of that.

Hi Wizz - I like Zvezda kits but you do need to get the brass to finish then off.
All the small boats have now had the oars fitted - now who will notice them - Haddock of course

Well done. I think they would try my patience!

[MSea]

The brass does mine Red - so its do a bit and then change to do something else, I don't know how Haddock can do it for so long.

2 replacement brass walkways added for the boat stations

Looking very nice Martin.

Exquisite Msea,
Not You, the oars in the boats and the walkways!

Don't try and rush to finish a bit before you have tea.
The first photo shows the small walkway at 90 degrees to the large walkway and the second photo shows the last one I did before being called for food - yes it had not fully dried and has moved to fasten itself onto the side of the  walkway.  So its out with the debonder when I feel like messing about and am in a calm frame of mind.

This stuff has a mind of it's own sometimes.
Show it who's boss!!

I know the order -- You first -etch brass second -and me a long long way behind in third - hohohoh

[Wizzel]

Thanks, I mis-read your first post, thought it came with the brass.  I'll hang fire until I've found a decent priced kit that comes with a bit of brass first and see how I get on with it.

Any recommendations?  Nowt too complex mind you!
