Good progress being made.
I have been lax in my modeling. The urge seems to come and go, which I am a perennially in such campaigns.

Well, here we are Nov. 21st and not long to go before this campaign ends. Time to get busy. I've been occcupied with all kinds of other 'stuff' and so had no time for modelling. I also had to order rigging blocks because I intend to add a couple of extra sails and rig as best I can.
Anyway, here's a photo with the paddle wheels positioned, but not glued on.

Just a little less than 2 months to go. Of course, I haven't touched the Trafalgar since I stripped the paint off it.

Hey Goof, no worries - we're pretty casual around here! I know what you mean about deadlines; I'm not fond of them either. Just drop in when you feel like it, and have fun!
I really enjoyed the Do-24 you did for the Flying Boats Campaign over at Aeroscale, by the way!

Deadlines are fine. At work. But i've come to the realization that deadlines and hobbies don't work for me. It ends up looking to much like work and that's not what i want. Above all i want hobbies to be fun.
With that realization i've decided to stop all groupbuilds, campaigns etc. that i've started. Of course i'll keep watching the often amazing builds i see coming along in the campaign threads, i'll just not participate anymore.
And since i consider it somewhat rude to just drop out without notice... well, there's this notice
@Gary: it is indeed a nice kit, fiddly PE, but quite doable. It's just the finished that i never get around to

Then I had to make dinner and be a functioning adult for a little. Then I got some paint down real quick before bed time.
That Hull Red sure looks brown in the jar. Would like to add in a little bit more red on my next ship. and Hey!! Did my own boot line and it turned out ok!
Dry fit all together as of this morning
Now I need to seal it up and start the weathering so make it look half way decent.
Thanks for looking!

Keeping this thread alive!
Got some AB done this weekend
Also painted some 53 Corvette pieces since I got the black out. You can see some in the background.
Touched up the deck and TRIED to hand paint some Tamiya. I would say at best, I got mixed results.

Got a little work done this weekend.
Taped off the hull but didn't break out the AB yet.
Hand painted the deck. Let me tell ya, there are two ways I thought of doing this: Painted the whole piece deck color and hand painting the little bits, or the wrong way. Guess which way I chose.
Either way, progress!!!

And then you realize you have enlisted to a campaign and not even told the world what model you'll be finishing 
For this campaign i will attempt to finish the Italeri S.L.C. 200 "Maiale". I started this kit a few years ago. Construction wasn't problematic, if i remember correct. The PE bits are fiddly, but doable. I primed the kit with Vallejo UK Bronze Green, the figures with (i assume) Vallejo Black primer. Then put the model in a box when moving town and have not opened it up since then.
These are the bits in the box:
And this is everything taken out:
Only 1 small piece of PE broken off. Not a bad result

Hi Charlie,
I have to admit... I enjoy - forgive me - crappy kits! They provide great opportunities to take some low risk chances in trying out new techniques. You've got the right idea; be bold, throw some paint around! You will undoubtedly learn something, and even if it is a total disaster you are only out seven bucks, right? I built the Lindberg Scharnhorst years ago, made a glorious mess of it - but I still had a great time, and learned a lot.
I am having a lot of fun!! I am gonna try some things with this one and it doesn't bother me much of it isn't perfect. This site has been a hug inspiration to get back into modeling again. Even with the limited time I have, I love it!!

Well lets see if this works.
The workspace with the bits all ready
Then I layed down some paint. No primer this time, just some alcohol wipes I "procured" from work to clean it up.
This kit only has two sprues outside the one piece hull and deck. Not a complicated model but I have to admit: a small fear I may be using the airbrush incorrectly has caused some hesitation on my part.
But, practice makes perfect. Since I got this kit for $7 at Hobby Lobby, it will be my test mule before I get something I really want to build.
