Back to building.

 

Tamiya washes, Brown, Grey, black.

 

Then drybrush with oils, mixed to get right tone, Green, Raw Sienna, Olive Green and white on a palette to get the desired lighter green for em winches....yep works for me.

Thanks Ron.

 

Try to do other builds ive never tried before, between 1:32 takin new experiances with me on each build and yes still learning, beleive that gives alot, and takin all that with me in to new project, yes next will be Arado 196 1:32, and one of the reasons doin a ship now, new things to learn and master in weathering, sea is something else.

Masterplan in my head.

 

Hmm, got to weather the deck completely, and the hull is next, before even put railing on, lessen the risk of damaging the pervious work, and the PE, and mount bigger parts that may bend or damage details when mounting them, as never done this much PE before, looked at youtube vids on does and donts, an what may be the most suitable way to attach theese oarts, several approaches, nope wont use entirely CA, will use UV Resin, PVA, kristal Kleer and Gorilla CA, different glues that will work for that specific part, need time to adjust, if only CA, well we kvow how it is when its stuck on a place we do not e´want it to be attached to, we all done that mistake in our modelling careers lol.

 

[Mal_Belford]

Ok....all theese small things take time, ship building sure takes time.

 

weathered all the left deck, and stern, and the vinsches....more parts falling in to place.

 

 

 

 

And the gondol for the sea plane,...hmm, no PE for this, well got to improve it little.....drill em holes

 

 

Way better hey.

 

 

yes, small things that ad to the whole.

 

 

 

.

 

 

[Mal_Belford]

Work at the plastic shipyard continues Mals Way.

 

well, more pieces i  place, railing on the steps, weathering in places that are difficult to reach later.....damn all is so freakn small lol.

A note, for those that wonder about em white gloves, (yeah little dirty now), they dont leave fingerprints, they are for show takin on exlusive waches when showing to customers, yes superior imo when handeling a model....got em from a friend that works with waches.

Everything is coming together nicely,  the additional details really stand out and make it look alive.

Thank You Paul, 

yeah, common sense and yes looked alot on reference pics on ships, and btw my dad were a Sailor (1st Officer and on other trips 2nd) on freight ships in the 70ies and 80ies.

[Mal_Belford]

Allright, This is my real first real  hand to hand experiance with PE, IP panels and flat details doesnt count lol.

 

Geez yes now got huge respect to ship modellers.

 

So this will do just fine for me, lol, its good enough for me.
