Looking great! That is some of the hardest railings on the Texas. I'm not too fond on the aircraft on my build either. I make look to Trumpeter for replacements.

There are still quite a few 1/350 scale ships that come stock without photo etch. Tamiya kits unless marked deluxe or premium, will not have PE included. Trumpeter has a few as well as some other brands. There are a few kits that have very basic PE included, but you can build them without using...

Thank you Sir. I always use a fresh #11 and the tip guided by the body of the blade centered along the line. For ovals, just the tip in short cuts rotating the work so I'm always cutting the same way around the circle. I hope that makes sense...lol.

Well it doesn't seem like much to brag about on this update, but I put down the main forward wood decking. It was a very tedious process, but I can live with the results. I still have some tiding up to do on the hull details, scratch the hanger bays, and finish up deck fittings throughout, then...

@BarleyBop @wjbrandel Thanks guys, definitely on the tail end and back at the bench. I'll have more updates soon.

Well Hello everyone, it's been a while. I'm still on the tail end of my lovely upper respiratory infection and a second round of antibiotics, but I've mended enough and tired of not getting anything done. So back to the bench to get something done! So it was back to the port side plating and...

@scottrc78 Man that deck looks great, good coloring and all. It's looks super nice to have a great mask set like that to make it easier for painting the rest. Who manufactured the mask?

Absolutely, not sure how antibiotics make you feel, but they drain the hell out of me and brain fog. Again, here's to a speedy recovery for us both.

So I hope to have some images and updates on my Indy build soon. I've been under the weather with an inner ear infection and antibiotics are terrible for model building...lol. Anyhow, really enjoying this build so far and definitely look forward to updates on everyone's builds!

@Edbert Your Texas is looking great all around. The detail, colors, and weathering are making a great build. Really enjoy watching your work. I would even enjoy you making videos of your builds! ;)

Looks great! The color looks very nice on her and the clear will darken it a bit like you mentioned. Did you have to mix the batch to make that color?

That's great to hear. I've been looking for the Fletcher for a long time, but no one has it and it's discontinued.

Looking awesome, and yes a dead give away. I smoked those damn things for over 30 years, but I'm so glad I've been quit for the last 14 years.

It won't be a color shift exactly. I have a little technique I use that kind of gives the illusion of a color shift, but adds a different kind of depth and effect. We'll see how it looks before I reveal it...lol
