Roger Newsome Posted October 9, 2020 Share Posted October 9, 2020 I'm working on this at the moment. I didn't bother with any photos up to now as there is very little to show during the construction. The stbd missile doors will be added in the open position once the interior has been painted. I decided not to try and manipulate the prop blades to make them look more realistic, that's just asking for trouble, so yes, I bottled it. 😆 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously this build didn't give you any hassle otherwise I'm sure you would told us about it. Like all things Russian, they have a very purposeful look.

Roger Newsome Posted October 14, 2020 Author Share Posted October 14, 2020 Bob @Retired Bob reminded me this morning I hadn't posted any updates on this so here goes. The sharp eyed among you will probably notice this isn't the usual submarine colour, don't worry I know what I'm doing. 😆 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roger Newsome Posted October 16, 2020 Author Share Posted October 16, 2020 The plan worked. Now I need to find a colour to paint the props. I'm not a fan of a highly polished metallic effect so looking to do a kind of mucky buff colour. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beefy66 Posted October 16, 2020 Share Posted October 16, 2020 That has come out great Roger I thought you were going for an Artic effect when I saw you start painting Have you thought of a heavy oil wash of olive green over brass for the props Stay Safe beefy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For the props I'm thinking of something similar to your suggestion, olive green washes over a pale khaki. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terry1954 Posted October 21, 2020 Share Posted October 21, 2020 Missed this one Roger! Great build. You are rather quicker at building submarines than me! Looking forward to seeing the finished ship vessel boat - did you see what I did there @Courageous! Terry 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
