Finished up the hull, now she needs gloss coat and oil weathering. The deck was a new technique I tried using Crayola water colors for a slight wood effect, peeking through the stain. Kyle

Nice! Always nice to see the Lady Lex getting some love. |

Excellent work, Kyle! Are you going to any Louisiana shows this fall? |

Thank you gentlemen! I would like to go to some shows again this fall - only ones I found on the IPMS list was Autumncon in Covington, LA this September. I would love to go and will be there if I don't go TDY for work. I might be dipping out "at the end of September" for a bit, that's all I've been told for now. Fingers crossed I'll be back stateside for that show... assume you're going? Kyle |

Some more progress - weathered with oil paints both filtering and rust, main superstructure added. Blended the masked deck lines in a bit better too. Kyle

Yeah. First show is 9/29 @ the Northshore. I should be there. We've lost Pensacola, Mobile, and likely Lafayette for the near future. It sucks. I'm not really into competition anymore, but I do enjoy attending a show for a bit. |

Woah what happened to Mobile and Pcola? I used to dig going to both of them! Kyle |

Working on the airwing, but just a question... Why is the only manufacturer of 1/700 aircraft in plastic decide to mold them clear, and why do they have separately applied landing gear and props? Just a solid hunk of grey plastic with nubs for wheels is fine, if folk want more detail there is PE stuff. Rant over: Filling out a very modest wing of F2A Buffalos, TBD Devastators, and two different squadrons (scout and bomber) of SBD Dauntlesses. Kyle

And she's done! Not a bad build, not rivet counting accurate for time period, I think she builds as a '30s warship better. Still makes for a nice, barely pre-war '41 fit of Lady Lex in my case. I finished out the sea base and airwing with F2A Buffalos, TBD Devastators, and SBD Dauntless' from both a scouting squadron and bomber squad. Kyle

Looks good. You need to make the Northshore show. |

I like it! I have fond memories of building this kit several times when I was younger (which was a long time ago) |
