Nick C Posted May 1, 2018 Share Posted May 1, 2018 Decks look great Michael, is the highlight freehand with the airbrush? Cheers Nick 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael M Posted May 1, 2018 Author Share Posted May 1, 2018 Now and the job done Next one will be trickier, brass tapes and searchlight tracks. It'll be fun Nick yes, all the deck jobs were freehand, unlike the plating this couldn't be done off the tape. As for those other tubs mentioned... we don't take that modern rubbish kindly here..... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael M Posted June 6, 2018 Author Share Posted June 6, 2018 Highlight done, time to go back to the other type of tiles, but it's only 2 and 1/4 of a streak. I'll do it in no time I even managed to align the top and bottom parts of plates.... well most of them Chers Mick 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael M Posted July 6, 2018 Author Share Posted July 6, 2018 Phase II finished, I was wandering lately why there are no comments... and then I realized that I put together and painted 18 parts.....in 8 months hahahaha. I hope that soon this thing will gather some momentum. Cheers Mick 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Martian Posted July 14, 2018 Share Posted July 14, 2018 An amazing effect! I still can't get my head round how you did it but I am mightily impressed all the same. Martian 👽 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael M Posted July 14, 2018 Author Share Posted July 14, 2018 Thanks. It's hairspray, toothbrush and three skin tones, quite simple, just a bit laborious 😁 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beefy66 Posted July 15, 2018 Share Posted July 15, 2018 This effect looks so simple but just shows what most modellers try and fail so many times to achieve and fail to get the right effect of the platting on such a small scale. 👍🏻 beefy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael M Posted July 24, 2018 Author Share Posted July 24, 2018 Bit of wear and tear on the upper part: It has to dry for a bit now ( used mostly oils ), but since I'm going away for two weeks holidays soon, it fits nicely After I'll come back, I'll finish underwater part with oils.

stevehnz Posted August 22, 2018 Share Posted August 22, 2018 I've not looked in on this since early days, to be honest, the box art rather put me off, I'm not a great fan of pre dreadnought era ships but seeing it now, that looks rather interesting, I might munch on a steady diet of words for a bit, mainly mine.
