Thank you all! Sorry that I couldn't post anything lately. First swamped with work then got COVID with entire family. All is well. Thanks to vaccines!

I started the decal work. Eaglecals work well. Except for the wavy group sign, that was tricky. I used micro set and sol. There are some uneven surfaces where I need to work more on. Only whites of the swastikas applied so far. Work in progress.

Not much but a little more decals are applied including the Karaya heart emblem which I decided to include. More will follow.

Thank you! Yes, I will. I usually use the fine EZ Line. I still need to finish the decals and do the weathering.

But I have a conference trip coming soon so it will take some time.

Looks pretty good to me....

Greetings! I apologize for lack of updates. It has been a very busy month and a half. I was able to finish all the decals. I did the second gloss coat (Quick Shine) and then I used some archival inks and artist brush pens for weathering effects. That is where I am now.

Next steps will be as follows: satin varnish coat for weathering with pencils and pastels, matt varnish and finishing touches like antenna wire etc. Hopefully this week...
