...and now for something completely different.

I was experimenting with methods of marking out a carrier's flight deck. So I had some 1/64th tape and my traditional airbrush method. Using tape was a lot faster but I'm not so sure how permanent it will be and I had trouble getting the ends to adhere properly to the flight deck aft. On the good side, if you make a mistake you can just lift it right off and try again. With masking off the area and spraying the paint on with an airbrush, the result is permanent and blends well into the ship (ne seams) but if you haven't measured perfectly, it may end up off center or wider at one end than the other. Below are pictures of HMS Glorious and HMS Victorious. Glorious had her upper flight deck taped on, and the lower bow section painted on. Victorious is completely painted on.

I think I'm going to go with airbrushing until the tape method has had a chance to prove it will really stay on especially after being handled in a wargame.

Are you talking about ....

Looks like our happy forum has been hit by a spambot. I am a MODERATOR on another forum that has had 3 such hits this past week -- the IPs all resolved to eastern Europe, and they all had links. We had to initiate a human Admin "new member screening" process to the sign-up proceedure, and had one spambot try to sign-up within 3 hours of establishing the screen.

Just another way for the spammers to try to ruin the interenet for eveyone else.

Should we send an airstrike from the Glorius and Furius on Da Bot!
(Nice job Cbovll)

I can't believe you guys are being so mean to the newest member here, he is just trying to impress everyone with his vast knowledge of... toilet seats and pin holes

Yeah, spammers suck I just had to recover after a friend sent me a virus, the upside is that a lot of new people want to give me v!@-gr@ at low prices!

v!@-gr@?

Dear most beloved one, it is with greatest respect and humility that I would most humble to implore you to consider assisting the third wife of Ohwa Tafoo Liam, lately the first minister of oil and embezzlement of the country of Liberia, who dearly beloved was killed by rebels in the recent uprising, and whose refugee wife now is the most faithful guardian to that sum of fourteen million US dollars ($14,000,000) in foriegn deposits, from which is offered an transaction fee of 20% to an amount of $2,800,000 for your assistance.

I mean, you could certainly buy ALL the v!@-gr@ you'd ever want with THAT! Just send 'em your bank account number, and its all yours! Yeah baby!

And if you believe THAT, I've got a King Tiger that I'd like to sell you. Just PM me for pictures!

Very nice models cbovill

I'm beginning to think about adding some Italian and British naval units to extend my North African campaing into the Med.

Do the carrier models come with aircraft? (I assume so.)

I see that GHQ offers some aircraft packs (US and Japanese) at this scale, but no WWII British yet. That would be a nice addition to the range.

DK

[cbovill]

Yes, all GHQ carriers come with an assortment of aircraft. The British ones I've purchased have typically come with a dozen Swordfish and usually a sprue of five what I think are Fulmar's, but alas, no v!@-gr@. It would certainly make a great addition to their combat commands.

cbovill,

Beautiful British carriers!

Most of my carriers have the 1/64" graphic tape on them as well, and I think it works great.

Please continue to post photos of your ships on this site. I really enjoy seeing your outstanding work on the GHQ models!

Thanks for sharing!

Chris,

OUTSTANDING work on your carriers!! One thought on the tape -- after applying the tape, do you overspray the whole model with Dullcote or some other "sealant"? That might help adhere the tape to the decks, in that it would help to seal "loose" edges, etc.

Just a thought...

Oh, one other thought... If vi@gr@ was used, would it give the flight crews a "stiff" wind to launch in to?? ( sorry, couldn't resist...)

Regards,
Tom

[ACWBill]

Yes Tom, however, if your launch takes more than four hours, please see the Flight Surgeon.

[cbovill]

Thanks guys! I'll have to give that a try - the dullcoat that is!
