Unfortunate situation with the tape Warren...sounds like you jumped back in the saddle! Looking forward to seeing the woodworking soon! 
Couldn't leave it alone and had to fix it as soon as possible Todd.
Anyway, another saying comes to mind, feast or famine.. yes this is a fairly large update after I managed to sit at the hobby desk for over 6 hours today.
First up, the brass wood bits had to be painted black first to try and pick out the details better, and to act as an undercoat of sorts. So it was out with the trusty Tamiya XF-1 and some X-20A Thinners and on went the black..
Just on that, have you ever had a brand new piece of equipment to use but continue to use the old one? This spray booth has bits broken on the side panels but I still keep using it for some reason when there is a brand newy in the wardrobe..
Then I hit the black bits with Deck Tan XF-55..
See how the details are bought out a bit?
Next up the repaired bridge structure..
I can't remember if I have posted piccies of the painted hose reels either..
Detail work not done yet. Then we have a couple of different types of life raft stowage assemblies. Bottom view..
And view from the side that will be facing the water..
And another type..
Then a painted gun before the camo colours are applied..
Then I applied the planking to the bridge external walkway..
Never can have too many clamps..
I must have gone a little heavy with the Buff there as the detail is not as sharp..
And finally, an ladder..
Which are some of the trickiest things to build.
That's it for now.
Cheers
Warren
