And nowadays it's called "recycling". And the build continues to look good. But I think the 'dog house' needs to be renamed. Until I saw the control panel inside it I thought it was a typing error, and the compartment served another purpose. Regards, Jeff. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dancona Posted October 19, 2020 Share Posted October 19, 2020 I'm just loving this Mr Shanks, its as much art and storytelling as modelling 👏 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
longshanks Posted October 22, 2020 Author Share Posted October 22, 2020 Been trying out ideas on the Dog House I think this was Mk2/3 Then I thought I'd try the salt technique Used AK chipping colour as a base coat Built up with various shades of mucky white Then worked with the rest of the AK rust range and one for the jury. I noticed on the original pics there was some signs of the original colour. So patches of faded blue and white and for @Martian some streaks of seabird guano (This doesn't mean there will be any trace of their bottoms Martian What does the jury think??? Thanks again for all your kind comments and likes Stay safe and avoid the numpties Kev 14 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terry1954 Posted October 22, 2020 Share Posted October 22, 2020 Wow Kev, just wow! I came in here for a quick catch up to see how this was doing and I'm gob smacked. Some of the best modelling of a rusting subject I have seen. Bookmarked for future reference! Terry PS 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The jury are currently sitting in front of a screen with their mouths open trying very hard to make some sort of intelligent noises, in most cases it sounds like "b***dy hell" ! I really do think that this is a rather good sign !!!!!!! Cheers from the Iberian numpty David 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Courageous Posted October 23, 2020 Share Posted October 23, 2020 What they all said, brilliant work. I agree with @JohnWS about the 'barnacle' look, something to remember for future builds. Stuart 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArnoldAmbrose Posted October 24, 2020 Share Posted October 24, 2020 Gidday, this juror was a little concerned at the second photo of the post. I also thought it looked more like barnacles on a submerged hull, but by the fifth photo I agree it looked very much like rust. Very authentic looking.
