Lyle I've been following this and I am amazed at how well you're doing on this! Especially given the parts count! Way to go!

We are modelers - the same in spirit, in hunger to insanely buy newly released kits, hustlers in hiding our stash from our better halves and experts in using garbage as replacements for after-market parts.

Thanks, Mark.

There are rumours that Lyle's ship lost one of its containers...

Not yet! They are still to be assembled.

Not much to tell about...hull painted, but needs some touch up, accommodation block needs a lot ...sprayed Tamiya Insignia white over this Krylon stuff and it crinkled up pretty bad. removed it and primed with Duplicolor. During all that a few of the tiny bits came away, so those have to be replaced.

Re: MV Colombo Express 1/700 Revell Germany
I had had some okay results...it seems it liked the Mission Models paint. The black on the hull is Krylon.

Re: MV Colombo Express 1/700 Revell Germany
Shame about the paint issues Lyle, but that hull looks really good!
