Von B Well thank you kindly Gent's First Aid Refresher course today so managed to skive off finish work early. So got some more of the base done and hope to get the bow wave done tomorrow after another early finish. Stay Safe beefy 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beefy66 Posted March 4, 2021 Author Share Posted March 4, 2021 OK so a bit more work on the bow wave for those of you who have been at sea for a living does this look right before I go further. Stay Safe beefy 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnWS Posted March 9, 2021 Share Posted March 9, 2021 Looking good, beefy! Do you have any tips for painting the hand rails, e.g the white stanchions vs the black railings? Regina will be my first with 1/350 PE handrails. I think I'll need all the help I can get for fitting/gluing & painting them. John 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Hi John for the railings I paint them on the PE fret good primer coat them matt black and the stanchions get brush painted with an 4/O brush to fit them I use the same method as @robgizlu small dab of CA to get them lined up and then run a thin coat of Gator Grip along the base line HTH 12 minutes ago, longshanks said: Very tasty Stay safe Kev Cheers Kev my cooking is coming along a treat as well 😋 Stay Safe beefy 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robgizlu Posted March 10, 2021 Share Posted March 10, 2021 John - the only amendement tiny as it is from what Beefy has written - is to paint the "wire" a grey black which to my mind looks more convincing - My go -to paints are Vallejo Model air 71055 and/or 71056. Black Grey and panzer Dark grey respectively. Rob 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beefy, That looks pretty convincing to me, especially as it gets back around the bridge area. With that hull shape I might have expected the bow wave to rise more steeply at the bow, then drop back into what you have there but it's very dependent upon ship speed, sea state and swell. Looking at the wake, it appears that she's not travelling that fast so the bow wave is created more from the bow slamming down as a result of the swell rather than the physical force of the ship driving through the water and under those circumstances the bow wave is much less predictable. I think there's a danger now if you tried to modify it that it would end up looking less realistic so personally I'd leave as is. Hope that helps 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ArnoldAmbrose Posted March 17, 2021 Share Posted March 17, 2021 Gidday Beefy, she's very well done. I think the rust streaks on the hull and the turbulent sea indicate what a tough war these little ships endured. Superb effort.
