[papa 695]

Sorry for the late reply Ole. I just use the flory and Vallejo weathering washes

 

[yak face]

Looking good Ian , great painting of the tiny details. (although how you do it with the brush in the pics is beyond me LOL!!!) cheers tony

 

[Guest]

Excellent work so far, Ian : )

 

[Guest]

thnx for the info Ian

mobear

 

[papa 695]

Thanks Tony you should see me when i get the 2 1/2 inch brush out Ha Ha

Ole just been looking at Ajays coal burning truck and what he's done with the oils is just fantastic , looks like i may try some of those for weathering

Ian

if you want any help with the water effect just let me know and I can help you out, this ship will look fantastic on the open sea

Mike

 

[papa 695]

Chears Mike will do, i was going to hopefully try and display it on the open sea, never done a water affect before

 

[spanner570]

Very nice Ian, it's looking good mate.

Regarding the water, I used clear silicone for my recent PT109 dio. Worth a thought and would work really well, particularily on this model.....Bows dug in, plenty of water flying around....Wonderful!

Good luck whatever medium you choose, but have a practice first though, eh? I did, more than once! lol

Cheers,

Ron

 

[papa 695]

Thanks for the tip Ron , i was going to have some practice runs first , but will look into the clear sealant

 

[papa 695]

Been steady away with this. Got the guns and deck glued into place, and half the super structure

That looks really great Ian job well done.

Hope I am not to late but if you are using silicon sealer, you can protect the kit with some kitchen film/sandwich wrap.
