magpie1832 Posted November 11, 2020 Author Share Posted November 11, 2020 (edited) Hi Guys, Thanks for looking in. I started by spraying Klear then once dry masking off the lower hull then Sprayed the first grey coat. I masked off the camo pattern sprayed the next grey then masked off those areas so I could do the final dark grey. Im giving a couple of days before doing anything to the hull.

magpie1832 Posted November 18, 2020 Author Share Posted November 18, 2020 Hi Guys, Thanks for looking in. Here I have layered different weathering colours. I added salt streaks, Dark streaks, Rust chips, Rust streaking and then Rust wash. I think this side is all done. Just needs a clear coat to seal it and see what all looks like. Then a Flat coat.

magpie1832 Posted November 29, 2020 Author Share Posted November 29, 2020 Hiya guys, Thanks for looking in. I have done the weathering on the starboard side now in the same way as the port side. I have also enhanced the detail on the aft deck structure with a wash and some slight highlights. Then stuck the wooden deck down. I have sprayed the various deck levels of the aft structure in dark grey ready for masking off ready for the camo. Chris 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

magpie1832 Posted December 18, 2020 Author Share Posted December 18, 2020 Hi Guys, Thanks for the nice comments. Here I have finished masking most of the structure was very labourious. Took about 4 hours. I have also painted the medium grey so I can then mask the rest for the Dark Grey. Chris 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johndon Posted December 20, 2020 Share Posted December 20, 2020 Looks great, brave man masking round all that PE - I'm going to have to do the same for my Iowa build and I'm not looking forward to it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan P Posted December 20, 2020 Share Posted December 20, 2020 Beautifully done camouflage, I'm incredibly impressed you masked over all that detail with tape! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Modelholic Posted December 20, 2020 Share Posted December 20, 2020 If I tried that I'd be looking in the discarded tape for the PE! Tom 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

magpie1832 Posted December 30, 2020 Author Share Posted December 30, 2020 Hi Guys, Hope all are well. Thanks for looking in and the nice comments. I have made a start on the rest of the main structure section by section. I have also weathered the deck slightly to make it look worn and dirty.

magpie1832 Posted January 3, 2021 Author Share Posted January 3, 2021 Hi guys, Thanks for looking in and comments. Sorry for the lack of pics, I did do 21 pics of this stage but my Memory card packed in while plugged into Macbook. It's now un recognised by any device. So had to use an older card for now. This section is ready for primer but will move upwards and make more so can prime at same time. Chris 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magpie1832 Posted January 4, 2021 Author Share Posted January 4, 2021 Thanks for looking in guys. I have had another few hours on it today and done the next level and started the next one. Then it can have a coat of Primer. Had to scratch a few parts as one or two PE parts went ping to the monster. Plus a few additional parts.

magpie1832 Posted January 5, 2021 Author Share Posted January 5, 2021 Hi guys, thanks for looking in. Here is the next update. I have started on the main rangefinder and radar antenna. These are fiddly and very small. But very enjoyable to make. Chris 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ship models = 4 sheets unless doing 1/200 then my pontos set is 18 sheets of it. 🥺 Thanks for looking in and comments. I finished the second Rangefinder then Primed with badger stynylrez primer. I thought I'd try it out after reading a few reviews. I must say its very good. Thinned 50% with UMP thinners and a few drops of WN flow improver. I then gave it a coat of the Light grey, now mark out and mask for the Darker grey. Chris 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magpie1832 Posted January 10, 2021 Author Share Posted January 10, 2021 (edited) Thanks guys, for looking in.
