magpie1832 Posted August 24, 2020 Author Share Posted August 24, 2020 Thanks for looking in guys. Here is the slow update. I have now done the other side with the portholes, doors, lights, boat racks and also the decks are added and masked up. I have also added some railings to the front. I will most probably add more railings before spraying. Chris 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

magpie1832 Posted September 30, 2020 Author Share Posted September 30, 2020 HI guys, sorry for the delay. I have re-made my work bench and spray bench then tidied the drawers out to get it all more organised. Here are the latest pictures of where I'm up to. I have glued the aft lower deck to the made deck and started on the railings. Chris 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris No what have you gone and done that is far to tidy get some modelling done immediately and make a mess that is not allowed on BM Stay Safe beefy 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArnoldAmbrose Posted October 1, 2020 Share Posted October 1, 2020 Gidday Chris, you're setting a bad example and a dangerous precedent. Listen to Beefy and get some mess on that bench. Oh, BTW, the detail on your build of Tirpitz is very good, very detailed. Regards, Jeff. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magpie1832 Posted October 14, 2020 Author Share Posted October 14, 2020 Hi guys thanks for looking in. I have installed the main decks and masked them up. Then started adding more PE ready for priming. Theres still a way to go before priming though. I was wondering whether to put the main railings around the hull before or after painting.

magpie1832 Posted October 20, 2020 Author Share Posted October 20, 2020 Hi guys, Thanks for looking in. I have now primed the hull and the First of my sections. I used Alclad grey Microfiller primer. Really good stuff. Chris 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pennys Pitstop Posted October 23, 2020 Share Posted October 23, 2020 Watching with interest. Just joined the forums and builidng the Tamiya version of this. Thank you for posting and your pictures are not only brilliant but inspiring too 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magpie1832 Posted October 25, 2020 Author Share Posted October 25, 2020 Thanks guys, I have sprayed the decks where you don't get wooden deck for it. On Tirpitz these two are wooden Colour. From pictures I've seen Bismark has them Grey. I have masked them off now ready for painting the camo. Chris 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magpie1832 Posted November 1, 2020 Author Share Posted November 1, 2020 Hi guys, Thanks for looking in. I have never done this weathering before so probably wont look so good. I started with a coat of Hataka RN hull red, then 2 coats of Worn effects from AK. Gave it 10 minutes to dry then a coat of AK Deep rust. I waited 5 minutes to dry then rubbed off half of the paint. I then gave it another 2 coats of Worn effects then a coat of the correct shade of Hull red From AK. I rubbed off various areas then sprayed random areas with a mixture of deep rust and the hull red. Then a watered down coat of the proper hull red. This is the results. I will be adding streaks etc at a later stage. Chris 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Hewitt Posted November 2, 2020 Share Posted November 2, 2020 Superb detail ,a pleasure to watch ,again great to see a Tirpitz build. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magpie1832 Posted November 3, 2020 Author Share Posted November 3, 2020 Thanks for the nice comment Chris. Thanks for looking in guys. I have done some grey paint chipping then added dark streaks, salt streaks, and a little green slime. I will be adding more slime to layer it. All this is trial and error so if it looks over done tell me so I can learn from it. Chris 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan P Posted November 4, 2020 Share Posted November 4, 2020 Looks superb, very neat detailing 👍 I wonder if the chipping effect is too severe, with such large diameter gaps. I know it was mostly based in nordic fjords but it looks like it's been icebreaking...! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magpie1832 Posted November 6, 2020 Author Share Posted November 6, 2020 (edited) Thanks guys for the nice comments. I have now done both sides of the hull. I added more slime to the bow and now think thats all it needs. Onto painting the upper now. Chris Edited November 6, 2020 by magpie1832 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
