liberty ship, trumpeter1/700


Recommended Posts

Well after much toing and froing, what set out to be a simple kit to expand my rigging skills (for a Wingnut Wings aircraft), the end result is here.

Rigging has been with the very fine EZline and the aerials to try and get the sag has been with very thin copper wire.

Weathering in the main AK Interactive brown streaks but there has also been thin washes of acrylics and water colour pencils.

Main painting was hand brush Vellejo.

Base tin foil and acrylic paints with a bit of tropical tank filter thrown in for good measure.

Yes I've enjoyed it but it took on life of its own because the rigging exercise turned into the model you see.
