"Dust yourself off, brush yourself down....and start all over again"

Well not quite but the new plan with the varnish-damaged ships now looks something like this:
  • The original 8 ships will be undercoated to start again - from scratch
  • The 4 models that were finished will be undercoated rather more carefully and repainted
  • The final 6 models for the RN will be included with the above - so in effect I will be painting 18 ships in total which will finish the RN capital ships for the Jutland project.
If I am honest I have gone through the angry phase and am now at the 'coldly efficient and keen to get started' version.

The plan as it stands then, will be to get all 18 finished by the close of play next Sunday so I best get a wriggle on....;-)

    Good luck Sir! May your dockyard workers finish at a rate commensurate to the scale of the beasts :-)

    Good on you, David. Just catching up here, I can empathize with your varnish disaster.

    I do clumsy things from time to time such as dropping a just-completed figure and breaking it. But glad to say, have suffered no serious mishaps with varnish/coating. I use Krylon artist's spray cans and occasionally get a defective can, but it's something readily apparent.

    Regards,
    Steve

    Hi El Grego,

    "Full steam ahead and damn the varnish!" or something like that!

    All the best,

    Hi Bob,

    Gone. Forgotten. Move on.

    The work has begun and I am confident all will be well this time around.

    All the best,

    Hi Steve,

    Cheers old chap! I felt really annoyed about this and so left it alone for a few days before considering the next step. I am really glad I did as I was able to assess the damage quite calmly.

    Onwards and upwards!

    All the best,

    DC
