there is no white screen .  I've drawn new PE railings and few other bits and just printed them on paper for shape testing.

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..

 

[Michael M 1,228]

Finally drawing stage for this and Danton done. Time for some practical modelling

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.

Base colours on deck done. Time to move down.

 

 

 

 

 

[Corsairfoxfouruncle 11,361]

Starting to get some color, love the work you’ve done so far.

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?

 

Stuart

[Michael M 1,228]

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.

My interpretation of G20....

 

 

 

 

 

[Jamie @ Sovereign Hobbies 8,151]

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

[Michael M 1,228]

Grey is just primer, G45 is to follow

[Michael M 1,228]

Airbrushing phase of the hull done and dusted. I'll start playing with oils after Easter.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Thanks for watching.

 

What do you think about G45 Jamie?

[Bangor Lad 704]

Very effective, Michael.

[Michael M 1,228]

Holidays done, time to go back to work   Scum plus wash on G20.

Good to see you back. She's looking better all the time. 

 

Stuart

Absolutely agree

Rob

[Michael M 1,228]

Washes done, I'll let it dry for a few days, then move on to fouling scratching and general destruction

 

 

 

base with the socket...

 

 

in the socket, in the tomb

 

 

Thanks for watching

Paper templates?

 

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 1,228]

You can, but I just trim it with knife first, and then sand the lot.

[Terry1954 3,117]

I somehow missed this one. What amazing modelling in 1/700! Really like your approach here.

 

Terry

[Michael M 1,228]

Water of shame  ah well you can't win all the time. It won't go to the bin, I always use mishaps  like this for testing stuff  I'll start new one tomorrow...

 

 

 

Cheers

Gidday Mick, what's wrong with it? I'd be very happy if I could do a seascape like this. Regards, Jeff.
