With all the components for the deck complete I mocked everything up to see how it would look and then did the final prep on all the parts for paint.





All the parts were primed with Floquil Gray Primer. The metal parts were given a coat of Floquil Roof Brown, Followed by Rust and Weathered Black. The haul was sprayed with rust along the gunnels and a mist of black along the bottom.

As much as I liked seeing all three in natural light, I enjoy seeing the pieces in detail while in construction. I really appreciate all the scratching you do – construction over assembly. It really puts art into it when you make custom pieces to meet your own ends. Looking forward to number three and your future projects.

A delightfull build and a lot of fun just watching the transformation. This takes modeling to a new dimension when you realise it began as a little plastic model. I was inspired and have bought the Revell tug Lucky XII to see what I can do. Will let you know how I go. Good work! Les
