ZachP319 Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 Coat of orange clear. Looks really great! The clear coast ties the whole effect together! Zach Whitey 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1to1scale Posted September 28, 2017 Author Share Posted September 28, 2017 No pictures today, but spent about three hours last night working on applying decals and detail painting the interior, i also added a wash to half the pieces giving them a little age. I still have a bit more detailing before I start assembling the interior, hopefully I will a few pictures tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeanKB Posted September 29, 2017 Share Posted September 29, 2017 The wood graining effect is excellent, will look even better when it's off the sprue. Can see you've been bitten by the WNW bug in a big way. They are just bloody superb kits. Be careful about painting parts to be glued - the fit is so tight that a coat of paint can put the fit out.

Yes, thanks for the advice. I will dry fit and scrape before I glue. Out2gtcha 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Out2gtcha Posted September 29, 2017 Share Posted September 29, 2017 Be careful about painting parts to be glued - the fit is so tight that a coat of paint can put the fit out. Tiz good advice. The tollarences that Sir Peter makes his kits to is pretty precise, and even a few mil of paint can throw the fit of the entire build off, as Dean mentioned.

1to1scale Posted October 1, 2017 Author Share Posted October 1, 2017 I have spent a couple nights detail painting, weathering, and finally...tonight I did the rigging. It took me two solid hours to glue up 26 pieces of floppy, stretchy, noodles. It drove me crazy at times, and I even combined a few swear words for some new combinations that even sailors have not heard before. But alas, I am ready to assemble the cockpit....just not tonight. My eyes need a good rest. BlackMikeModels, sandokan, Whitey and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1to1scale Posted October 1, 2017 Author Share Posted October 1, 2017 Thank you all for the kind words. I am still not 100% happy, I made some mistakes and will correct them on the next WNW model. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
