Bigdave22014 Posted July 5, 2018 Share Posted July 5, 2018 Forgive me asking, but should the jolly boat not be tied up to the jetty? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have remade the rack added cargo and rope to hold it all down, painted inside and glued the roof on, time for some paint on this. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone used the Revell weathering set? I want to add to my limited weathering palet and this looks like a good set for the money, only £8.80 on amazon at the moment and it has a white in it . I think the truck and the ship are going to fiddly and small to using chipping liquid or salt on, so going to do it all post paint.

Brundledonk Posted July 6, 2018 Share Posted July 6, 2018 This just gets better and better ! The truck is great and I'm amazed at how much detail you have added to such a tiny model, it fits in perfectly with the look of the sky ship 👍 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rockpopandchips Posted July 7, 2018 Author Share Posted July 7, 2018 Your all far to kind. Made a start on the painting the truck this morning before dad duties start. Airbrushed the green so I could do a faded effect and made a start on the wood panel's, I will brush paint the rest of it I think. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brundledonk Posted July 11, 2018 Share Posted July 11, 2018 i was just looking at this in RFI and as I said over there it's a quality bit of work and that goes woodgrain is so good, not just the graining but the age and weathering on it is perfectly to scale. you should rightly be pleased it's a great job all round very well executed my friend Pete 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rockpopandchips Posted July 15, 2018 Author Share Posted July 15, 2018 Moved this to here where is should be. I thought it best I use my chipping fluid again so layer down some under coat and rust colours, used tamyia Red, orange and hull red for this and I will leave it a good 24 hours before I do anything more with it. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trying my hand at a bit painting tonight, chipping solution and a bit of salt for that total junk look, going to need to let this all dry before doing anything else tonight I think. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete in Lincs Posted July 20, 2018 Share Posted July 20, 2018 You'll need to find room on it for some I.D. numbers in a contrasting colour. They seem to feature on most of the pictures I've seen. At the weekend I found that I still have a Frog/Novo Shell Welder ship I built in the early 80's. So I think that may get recycled and be the basis of a flying ship sometime in the future. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
