Allright, this will have to do for me now,blaming it on firstimer with a modelship...LoL

 

[Mal_Belford]

Hull is finnished....masked of the orangea area, so to finnish of with flat/matte coat only on the hull red ( dont use flat that much at all) its needed, as it will be displayed in dry dock.

 

This will do just fine for me.

 

 

 

forgot to ad, will in the last ad water rinning marks on the hull, apply gloss on a finetip brush.

Thank you for them kind words.

Looks awesome, Mal!

[Mal_Belford]

This is the PE chart...lol for me it is ALOT...LoL.

 

and yes, i mean no i wont use figures, no dogs, no pinguins/seals from that....all are crazy flat (of course its PE), make em more fattier using CA or PVA...nope, wont ad those...looks ridicioulus LoL. look like they were run over with a steam roller....or from a crime scene investigation, you know with white tape around LoL.

[Thomas Lund]

Wow that's really impressive

[Mal_Belford]

Thanks Thomas dor them kind words.

 

More details this evening, also received a small notification from a member on IPMS Gothenburg, time to start to check where rigging goes and prep for few holes as later will be way more difficult without ruining previous work.

 

Yes its becoming more fragile allready now.

Allright, little done this afternoon, well alot then, geez PE in 1:350 is fiddly to work with LoL....

 

Modified the stern masts, cut them away, replaced them with a injection needle and guitar string, drilled hole on them poles, attached ladders and antenna, reason, easy later assembly, as all this build gets more fragile every step, so later makes things easier for me.

 

all is only dryfitted, yes it will work for me.
