Matti ThomaesHello Treehugger,
I bought them on the site of Naval Models itself, this set should still be available, although the stock is limited

TreehuggerQ: Is there not supposed to be railings on top at the back in photo 3? Just below the mast structure.
22 October 2023, 17:29
Matti Thomaes@ treehugger, yes indeed, it is one of the few pieces of PE that I still have to add
Guy, welkom, take a seat,

Matti ThomaesI've been working on the details to make it all look a bit more realistic, I hope to get busy with the airbrush very soon.

Matti ThomaesI had hoped to be in the painting phase by now, but no, still adding detail to it. I didn't have the time to do much, as other things kept getting in the way.

Matti ThomaesWell doesn't time fly. It's been months since I gave you guy's an update on my Jean Bart. I have been working on her, but only in short sessions. This gave me the impression that I was getting nowhere with this one. Then came along the Plastic & Steel show where I had the opportunity to work on her for two full days, and lo and behold she is close to getting finished. Just adding the last details know, than some weathering, clear coat and windows and clear parts and done.
Hopefully next update very soon…

Mike GoodmanI think it was time well spent, seeing how impressive your rendering of this tug is at this stage!

Matti ThomaesThanks, Mike, It is indeed a far cry from the original kit, of I may say so my self.

Martin OostromAnother ghost build that started in my vacation. All parts are ready for paint, unfortunately the weather isn't cooperating.

Martin OostromToo windy and wet. I can't open my window to let the hose from my spray booth out. Rain will come in 🌧️

Michael KohlFollowing.
PS: you can guide your hose into a bucket with a bit of water and a lid with an airvent.
Check: How to use a bucket to vent a spray booth on Youtube. I will build myself one too as the concept looks very convincing.

Martin OostromThe yellow needed 7 more thin coats. More than half a jar was used on this small car.

Alexander GrivonevHey Martin, you can buy colored primers like yellow or red. 2K as well.

Martin OostromThank you gents.
I have black, yellow, white, pink, three kinds of grey and rustoxide red primer. But the zero paints yellow "needs" 2k and that is one of my greys. That paint is soooo thin with colour. The decanted ts-16 on my Aussie truck covers so much better.

Sergey E.Mike, у меня есть собранный СТЗ-5 ( в альбомах) и есть БМ-13 от "Звезды" (тоже в Альбомах). СТЗ крайне приятен в сборке, модель очень хорошая, рекомендую всем.
