'just built' or 'years of war' look

having not done a 'old school' boat build for over 25 years I am at a loss at what to do about weathering.
have allready took the new look out of the paint job and I might just leave it at that.

    Hi
    Hydroman
    Really dissapointed with the kit, it has arrived with no bottom panel and minus shaft and rudder. Maybe its a shame the company has changed hands, as I will never use Kitshack again

    I was hoping that the change would do good but obviously not, what a shame, that's put me off buying anything else from them, there is nothing worse than missing parts after you have been waiting weeks for it to arrive, I hope you have given them a rollicking matey cause that is what they need. 😭

'j' class destroyer 1/72

this little camera Is perfect for 'onboard' video footage. It can take up to an 8gb micro sd card for about 2 hours of video(thats how long the battery lasts),charges via the usb. motion activated mode or normal, an Indicator light to see what mode Its In,and It even takes photo's, not bad for £10.
fits nice under the 'overhang' on the upper bridge.

    HI I have mine now and it works OK do you find that the sound of the motor running is enough to switch the camera on, and I have not cut away around the LED yet but I see what you mean it would be difficult to see when the camear is running. Will try it out on a model later, but the video quality is reasonable.
    many thanks Graham

    hello graham
    regarding the 'sound activated' mode, I dont use it, I would rather start recording by pressing the 'lever' so to speak.
    you can see on the third picture how bright the light is after the plastic is cut away, it just makes it so much better to see what the camera is doing.
    regards
