Iain Posted November 27, 2012 Share Posted November 27, 2012 Severe bout of AMS/can't get motivated/everything I touch turns to ratsh%t at present. Managed to coax myself into trying to break the cycle with something very different by returning to my Soya project... Bridge area now assembled in sub-components - windows masked - painted - masks removed - decalled. Now waiting for decals to thoroughly dry before weathering and attaching to model. Funnel painted and blue band decal added - letting that dry too. Said it before - but I take my hat off to the nautical modelling types - patience of saints and skills of a jeweller! Bridge area weathered and assembled - looks a little better now. Work commenced on fo'c'sle with vents(?) and hold covers... For my next trick I *may* have a go at a figure after some good tutelage from Jerry and Dan at Telford the other week.

Iain Posted November 27, 2012 Author Share Posted November 27, 2012 Thanks guys - planks were done with careful masking and spraying slightly differing shades - before applying dark wash. I used about four 'plank' shades in all. Strips of masking tape cut to the width of 1:350 planks - to mask random planks ready for overspray in slightly different shade: And with a lighter shade of base misted over: Iain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JRutman Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 Mighty fine paint work. I really thought it was a laser cut deck until informed otherwise. J Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iain Posted March 17, 2013 Author Share Posted March 17, 2013 Back on the little icebreaker this evening - mainly concentrating on the base. This has been made with textured watercolour paper - painted sea blue and affixed to an MDF base. Still building up colour - hence the masking tape - but the texture is starting to look good! Will need a lot of glossing for that 'wet' look! Also dug out some thick perspex which I'll use to make some ice A little more done on the ship - the funnel and a start made on some of the detail parts - photos to follow.

Guest Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 Oh goodie ! Love this "huge" build of yours Iain.....Harv Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hubert Boillot Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 Great start (or continuation ?). This is one I have in my ever-growing stash...I'll follow your build with interest. After I spent - succesfully- 3 hours on a 1/600 f'csle winch for a Mauretania kit (always loved these four-funneled ladies - so much better-looking than nowadays' cheap-condos blocks on water), I decided that this was time to get back to 1/32 aircrafts, less eye-straining ... I hope this will be the same for you, and we'll see more of your 1/32 builds when your mojo has come back from the ices of the Antartic !
