Heico van der HeideYes Holger, you are right. I've noticed excitement within myself when i placed the turret on the hull. hehe 😛 And that's a good thing, it's more motivation.

Heico van der HeideHull is now masked, the turret has got the anti-slip coating. Next up, anti slip on the hull and seal it with a coat of paint.

Heico van der HeideThank you Holger, as you can see on this new update the antiskid is on, sealed with brown and the masking is peeled off.

Urban GardiniWhat did you use for the non-slip surface? It do look a bit like Citadel's Texture colour. Have a tin but haven't tested it yet.
