In the past we have discussed the potential merits of painting in yards and other details, light brown washes etc. Well, I can tell you I gave it a go on a frigate this morning and it really has made a decent model even better. Its a bit fiddly what with the model being assembled, so a little care and a fine brush are needed. It would be far easier f the masts could be removed but they seem prone to snapping at the base if you try to remove them so I'd just live with and be careful.

I also added some ratlines (lower portions only) using the netting material that Rod Langton used to sell. Again, really worthwhile.

The only bad thing to report is - no camera available at the moment! When that is rectified I'll post some shots but for now take my word for it. Only a little effort needed and the results are great.

OK, we'll believe this as much as we believe that story you told us about you and Cameron Diaz one crazy night in Vegas. Photos or it didn't happen.

I'm with Andy. Pictures or it didn't happen. :wink:

Kidding aside, thanks for taking the initial plunge and doing some enhancement work on the ships. I sure hope they do arrive by the holidays so I might have some extra time to work on them?

Sounds like a Fish Story to me... about as believable as my hot, weeklong foursome with Julia Roberts, Christina Hendricks and Vanna White. :P LOL

Rory, it's like the famous line attributed to Mae West. "I used to be Snow White, but I drifted." :happy:
