Hello to all paper-modelers

The model of the USS Brooklyn is going slow... very slow...more slower that I planned...

In last weeks I had just a few time to try to seal with white glue the gaps between the paper foils covering the hull, and after a first seal, I applied some thin layers of Tamiya spray grey primer....

Once dry, I tried to make it smooth by very thin scrap paper, and before to apply some new few layers of the same primer, I again sealed the last gaps..

The hull will be not completely "smooth" on surface, there will be still visible some line of junction between foils, but I like so...

I need just to close some last gaps and put other thin layer of primer and the hull will be ready to be painted with Tamiya "red dull" spray (the most close to the typical hull color for many warships).

Once painted, I'll start to build the secondary guns, to put inside the hull, before to glue the white hull sides.

I'll keep you updated when I'll do it

Have a nice time and happy paper-modeling !!
ciao
