glad we agree  ;D

on the bench currently a GZG Full thrust Musashi Class Super Battleship    http://shop.groundzerogames.co.uk/full-thrust-starships/japanese/ft-1311.html
the ship is 5 parts ad is just shy of 4" long assembled the main body being 2 parts its getting a dental wire pin to help hold it together, the engine pods are nicely rebated tabs so will hold together well, and the final part is the bridge and sensor dome which have a pin cast on  so don`t need extra,  phew, as im well out of practice with my Archimedes screw pin vice, and drill bit.

GZG's website is showing IMAGE NOT AVAILABLE to me for half the stuff on there. Is it meant to be like that, or is it just some browser/settings thing that's peculiar to me.

So if they're selling them, then... take pictures of them?

Anyway, thanks: now I know it's not just me being thick.

and in a haze of supergule and metal swarf, things are together
8 destroyers  and all 3 battleships in addition to the above.

currently they are drying after grey undercoat.
I am going to try to be clever... a dangerous concept,  by next giving the undersides a quick / light coat of GW Ultramarine blue, before the main coat of  Halfords ford ice diamond white,  then going for the inks and surface details.
hopefully it will give a slightly darker underside to force shadow.

the 2 picket ships are done   http://shop.groundzerogames.co.uk/full-thrust-starships/japanese/ft-1324.html      call signs Jay one, and Jay 2  written on the base with a Rotering pen
and the  atmospheric lander http://shop.groundzerogames.co.uk/full-thrust-starships/merchant-civilian-and-support-ships/ft-340.html     Dove one     it will be acting as a fast VIP transport

they will be varnished tomorrow,  the Destroyers have had a drybrush and the capital ships are just sprayed and inked.
things have gone reasonably well so far
