longshanks Posted January 11, 2019 Author Share Posted January 11, 2019 Continuing on with my battle damaged discarded lifeboat I had a picture in my mind as to how I wanted it to look. I decided to try a new technique and thanks to @Dads203 advice I've got that picture down on plastic. Called The Hairspray technique and no it wasn't mine. First laid on old wood, hairspray. Dark antifouling, hairspray, light antifouling . . . . . I think you get the picture Water and a cocktail stick et voila A bit of dressing and I think it will be good enough for a corner of the quayside Thanks for looking in. As always I thank you for your comments and likes Kev 9 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beefy66 Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 Great stuff amazing just what you can find around the house to help with your modeling little boat looks well worn and torn 👍 beefy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnWS Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 I've seen the hairspray technique used on aircraft models to simulate paint chipping and wear. This is the first time I've seen it used on a boat. The end result looks very realistic. Well done, Kev! 1 hour ago, longshanks said: ... and no it wasn't mine. ...

Well it wouldn't be yours: this technique doesn't work with Harmony. That said, the boat looks exceedingly effective. Martian 👽 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robgizlu Posted January 12, 2019 Share Posted January 12, 2019 First the wet-palate - now Hairspray technique - he's going the way of Armour I tell you - mark my words - the next we'll be seeing is a Panver IV (Looks Fab!!) Rob 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I was too ill this week to do any work on the "B" On a serious note - The dinghy might benefit from a wash - Mig ammo (and no doubt AK) do a "Slimy Green" in different shades - https://www.migjimenez.com/en/33-nature-effects Worth a thought?

I need to know the type of illness that means you can do as you fancy. I'd love to use it with the other half... Naga is looking good. Good idea with the washes I'll give it some thought, watch this space . . . Kev 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
longshanks Posted January 15, 2019 Author Share Posted January 15, 2019 As per instructions of @robgizlu who wants to make me into a tank modeller . . . I've added various oil washes, splotches of many hues and assorted plant life plus rope fender The observant amongst you will spot a plant growing out of the damaged area Enjoy Kev 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
