Bangor Lad Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 Lovely work, Michael. You're certainly inspiring me to get a move on with some of my naval projects. Thanks for sharing. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BerndM Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 Amazing work so far, the paint job looks fantastic. The pe parts for the deck with these fine anti sklid surface is a real improvement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael M Posted January 31, 2017 Author Share Posted January 31, 2017 Well thanks for the nice words, it's good feeling to be inspiring Pity I only had the main deck, for the other ones stock will have to do... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael M Posted February 28, 2017 Author Share Posted February 28, 2017 Thanks, Hull is more less done, maybe some green stuff around waterline to finish it. Artillery: Those monstrosities on the sides are glued in just to plug holes made for them by Dragon...... It'll be fun to get rid of them without getting rid of all the surface detail 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael M Posted March 21, 2017 Author Share Posted March 21, 2017 Main guns ready for paint. All decks are painted and masked off. The time has come for some proper painting 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bangor Lad Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 Looking forward to seeing some more paint going on. I've never applied a dark primer to my ship models. I think I'll have to give it a go. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael M Posted March 22, 2017 Author Share Posted March 22, 2017 I recommend that method wholeheartedly. It's easier to do shading this way without a screw-up. Building up highlights on black requires more layers and time, it's easier to control, than doing it opposite way Now that is my personal opinion, so I won't hold it against you if you disagree Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've pre-shaded many armour models but not tried it on a ship. I think I'm going to have to try it. Cheers 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael M Posted March 24, 2017 Author Share Posted March 24, 2017 Phase one of my own attempt. I'm sure, that it can be done way better, I'm learning and experimenting as I go, as everyone else Dave which Independence is that? If one of those LCS's than armour methods will suit it well, it even looks more like Abrams than a ship Cheers Mick 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, 1:700. I was looking at the 1:350 in a model shop last year and I was sorely tempted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael M Posted March 26, 2017 Author Share Posted March 26, 2017 Aye it's nice and big bugger, and with all the stuff available for it it definitely is a tempting subject. Just not exactly my favourite time period, same as this nazi piece of scrap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
