Michael M 2,158 Posted February 27, 2019 Author Share Posted February 27, 2019 there is no white screen . I've drawn new PE railings and few other bits and just printed them on paper for shape testing. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Fizgig 61 Posted February 27, 2019 Share Posted February 27, 2019 (edited) I know it's a bit early in your build, but have you decided on what technique you're going to use on the water? I only ask because have just started to build the Mirage 1/350 Mazure and put her afloat. This will be my first attempt at floating my boat and am a little nervous (!!!)

Need to try, till now I used very thin CA, and the paper gets hard so it can be sanded into shape, but it is also brittle..  Link to post Share on other sites

Courageous 10,984 Posted March 30, 2019 Share Posted March 30, 2019 Well, that's not something you see every day, masking of a ship, thanks. @Bandsaw Steve might be interested in this after he asked the question on his Carpathia build.  Stuart 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Corsairfoxfouruncle 23,436 Posted March 31, 2019 Share Posted March 31, 2019 Starting to get some color, love the work you’ve done so far.  Dennis 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Courageous 10,984 Posted April 1, 2019 Share Posted April 1, 2019 Great to see what can be done at this scale and I'm sure it'll get more impressive as time goes on. Can I ask, what greys you have used before and after masking? Â Stuart 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Michael M 2,158 Posted April 1, 2019 Author Share Posted April 1, 2019 Thanks. Decks: grey tamiya primer then shadows around superstructures and other protruding bits with XF24 misted over with base colour XF75. Then masking the shape of anti slip coatings. Again shadows done with XF63 then highlights with white, afterwards misted over with base XF77. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Jamie @ Sovereign Hobbies 12,703 Posted April 5, 2019 Share Posted April 5, 2019 That's not bad as a G20, and it looks in keeping with the scale also. The contrast between the two colours looks OK I think 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Silenoz 1,463 Posted May 8, 2019 Share Posted May 8, 2019 Paper templates? Â Looks good, the trick with paper and CA I knew, but with the clear can be more handy, when it makes the paper less brittle... is it hard enough then so that you are able to sand the paper also then?

Michael M 2,158 Posted May 8, 2019 Author Share Posted May 8, 2019 You can, but I just trim it with knife first, and then sand the lot. Link to post Share on other sites
