Congratulations,

Mark, Carl and Bob on your great builds. You deserve the accolades you have received for your builds.

My Fletcher and I will cross the finish line sometime in the future.

I'm getting closer to finishing (just a little bit late, well, maybe just a littlie bit more than a little bit late) the USS Fletcher and getting my "Group Build" entry done. I need to add the rigging, flat coat, add the ship's boats and create the water and she will be done.

Better late than never!

Matt

Thanks Matt,

Well disaster struck yesterday morning when I put a flat coat on the Fletcher. The flat coat turned white, so I started repainting the ship with a brush and had got the area around the ship's numbers done when I thought about putting gloss coat over the flat coat. I picked out an area and brush painted on some gloss with great results. I then airbrushed a gloss coat on this morning.

The Fletcher is now rigged and ready for an other try at flat coating. I should have her done by the end of February.
