elmarriachi Posted August 30, 2015 Author Share Posted August 30, 2015 *** UPDATE *** The hangars..... mostly finished and PE-parts added. The doors remain movable until I have decided if I would display it open or not.... The rear super structure was next step. Firstly the details of the kit removed... sanded.... and windows opened. Then all the PE-parts added.... several further details follow later after the painting ... And finally ...

BiggTim Posted September 4, 2015 Share Posted September 4, 2015 Stop!! Just Stop! You are weakening my resolve not to build anything but props..... (Yes, I know, ships have props, too, so don't even say it, smartasses) Tim D.B. Andrus and Girlscanplay2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elmarriachi Posted September 7, 2015 Author Share Posted September 7, 2015 **** UPDATE **** Now we are working on the paint of the rear super structure... First step again - a black primer (Valleyo black primer) to give it a homogeneous surface... The black primer als acts as a first kind of dark shadow under the later grey painting ..... After some drying time all the parts were painted in light grey - same grey as the super structure at the front .... I made 2 thin layers, still keeping the black primer shining through the grey... These are the first shadows in the surface, more coming later with the washings. (the upper part of the funnel - still only black primer. Aluminium and smoke following later) Lars Befring, BiggTim and Girlscanplay2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elmarriachi Posted September 7, 2015 Author Share Posted September 7, 2015 Next step.... Masking. With tons of masking tape, a ruler and more masking tape I started to mask the superstructure for painting the white and black stripes. Orientating at the stripes on the hull... Going up and up and up on the super structure. On the picture you see the masking for the white stripes. After painting the white stripes then I have masked it one more time and painted the black stripes too. And here we have the finished and demasked super structure... After some correction works with a fine brush and all three colors...... BiggTim, Girlscanplay2 and Lars Befring 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elmarriachi Posted September 7, 2015 Author Share Posted September 7, 2015 And that's how it looks now... All put together ..... The next step.... Adding the wooden deck and the dark grey metal deck parts.... Then giving all a layer of clear coat (future - as already done on the front super structure), then starting with oil colors and dry brushing.... Then a final layer of clear coat matt. So far for now .... Cheers - Michael mywifehatesmodels, Out2gtcha, D.B. Andrus and 5 others 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
