Still here. I did some detail painting today and thought about your progress.

Lol sorry guys I'll post something tonight. All week I've been sleeping up until I have to get up and go to work not sure why. Yesterday the alarm went off at 4:30pm I sat it for another half hour, it went off at 5 and I just shut it off next thing I know my wife is waking me saying its 8.

I think that your body is trying to tell you something...

[Floki]

I think I know why and it's my fault. First I took some photos of my progress went to turn on the computer and boom windows update didn't have enough time to wait for it to be done so tomorrow after work I'll get some photos posted. Last Friday night went to see SlipKnot awsome show first time seeing Volbeat live too and they put on one hell of a show. Had a few to drink something I only do after mowing the yard on a weekend if I ain't got nothing else to do after and then its only one. Too much headbanging plus the fact I'm not 18 anymore. It all adds up, woke up the next day with a stiff neck and a sore throat. Luckily no hangover I've only ever had one of them and it wasn't fun. So hopefully I'll be back into my everyday routine from here on out..... Until October when we go to Georgia to see Amon Amarth and Arch Enemy.

So a small update
First the decks after weathering. Bandai even added raised nails to the boards that after a flat coat I used some gun metal to pick them out
and also got some work done on the bottom deck sidewalls they still need weathering. Plan to pick the portholes out with gloss after all weathering and the final flat coat is put on.

To compare the decks before and after weathering



Thanks for looking in!

I was thinking about your music as I was listening to a band called Heilung (German for healing) which base their music on Old Norse texts. I think their “experimental folk music,” or Viking music, is amazing, but I like folk music.

Also, exposure adjust, methinks...

[Floki]

Heilung are really good, they just came out with a new album a few months back that I haven't picked up yet. YouTube thier live show called Lifa it's really cool.
