Weather on Saturday was quite good so I managed to get some more primer on the hull, but it's been downhill since then so I've been indoors, doing the detail painting on the two cabins.

1/18 really isn't my scale, so it won't bear close inspection, but giving it a light wash with hull red has made it look a bit more 3-dimensional from a distance. As I worked from many different sources, rather than modelling it on a specific boat, I've given it a non-specific number (000) & will just add "RNLB TYNE CLASS" on the side where a name would ordinarily be. I also have some blue & white safety signs to make up for the cabin doors.

Masking for red oxide (lower hull)... ... sprayed .. ... masking for blue (mid/upper hull): Blue sprayed + masking removed; foam bump strip + #s & waterline decals applied; I ditched the copper wire & used woven polyproplylene cord instead for the side ropes: Attachments:
