Removing naval property! surely that's illegal...

Only when you get caught. 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.

Been trying out ideas on the Dog House

I think this was Mk2/3

P1110516

 

Then I thought I'd try the salt technique 

Used AK chipping colour as a base coat

P1110521

 

Built up with various shades of mucky white

P1110522

 

P1110523

 

Then worked with the rest of the AK rust range

P1110542

 

P1110541

 

P1110540

 

P1110544 P1110532

 

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

P1110526

What does the jury think???

 

Thanks again for all your kind comments and likes

 

Stay safe and avoid the numpties

Thanks guys but asking for your thoughts on the paint chips and guano

That is looking superb Kev, I think more tihs is required though,  The LC  has been exposed to the elements for a long time so would probably be caked in the stuff ?

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!

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

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. Regards, Jeff.
