robgizlu Posted November 11, 2020 Share Posted November 11, 2020 This was a fun little painting project as a diversion from Cruiser modelling. The quality of the 3D printed models are just excellent and it was a chance to try out some North Star figures. Paints are Sovereign Colourcoats and Vallejo. The funnel stays were a trial and that was the thinnest stretched sprue I could manage. The B6 (light blue) boat has no rudder as this will be planted in the Berwick dio Thanks for looking Rob 50 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt Parvis Posted November 11, 2020 Share Posted November 11, 2020 They look great Rob. Took me a minute to figure out there were two of them. They are pretty tiny though, so, that's my excuse. Matt 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob-700 Posted August 30, 2022 Share Posted August 30, 2022 The Micro Master 3D printed parts certainly are outstanding in their detail. For the funnel stays, rigging, etc., try paint brush bristles from cheap house paint brushes. In the cheap brushes the bristle vary in diameter and therefore provide a range of thicknesses. They adhere well to plastic with CA super glue. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bertie McBoatface Posted August 30, 2022 Share Posted August 30, 2022 Thanks Rob for bringing this to the top of the pile. I hadn't seen it first time around and I'm glad I've seen it now. In this scale, or in any scale, that is a beautiful marine model worthy of a place in a very small museum. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
europapete Posted August 30, 2022 Share Posted August 30, 2022 I think my HMS Hood would benefit from some Micro Master. Where's that website.....(and wallet lol) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ray S Posted September 4, 2022 Share Posted September 4, 2022 Sometimes it is fabulous when an old thread reappears, and this is a prime example. I must have missed it first time around, but oh boy, what an amazing couple of boats you have produced. I will have to check out Micromaster and see if they do any ship's boats suitable for HMS Dreadnought, I think the Zvezda boats could do with improving. All the best, Ray 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
