No not Lego,has anyone else suffered from this ?,builders block ,it must be similar to writers block ,you know what you want to do but just don't seem to be able to get anything done.
Don't know whether to start something else just to kick start the grey matter.

Having not been up to it for the last wee while and now feeling a bit like my old self thought it would be a nice time to fight through the spiders in the workshop and continue with Arctic convoy , having next to no materials I found an old bit of 3mm hardboard and decided to use it to plate the Hull ,decided to do away with the rails and give her solid bulwarks ,quite pleased with the results so far.

As the song goes "give 'em the old (😉) razzle dazzle "
After priming and then spraying matt White spent a while masking off the Black ,Blue ,yellow and grey area's ,will have to touch it up as the masking tape unmasked for some unknown reason ,quite happy with the results though .


😁😎

Started making up the handrails ,there made from 1/16" (1.6mm) mild steel gas welding rods soldered together ,made a jig for the straight lengths uprights drop through the holes ,rail is soldered on then assembly is pushed up to desired height and then second bar soldered in place ,only one small burn 🙄.

That's all the Handrails soldered ,washed them in hot soapy water to clean off the flux residue , they ended up a bit over scale forgot about the thickness of the wire but its a model not a scale representation of an actual ship that's my excuse and I'm sticking to it 😁,a wee clean up and a paint next.
Cheers Marky👍

Handrails ,mast's and life boats painted ,decided to try weathering don't know if I've gone slightly to far ? or would ships sailing the Arctic convoys be in a worse state?
Cheers Marky👍

Having been nailed to a hospital bed and blasted with radiation and what felt like being hit with pick axe handles for the last few weeks am now back home so managed to do a bit on the ship so nearly there ,did some rigging ,more weathering ,hung the life boats and other odds and sods ,
