Michael M Posted March 19, 2021 Share Posted March 19, 2021 Just as a little variety from my recent microscopic projects I went for something completely different Big, simple, no PE and minimal scratch involved, om the other hand a lot of surface to play with painting. For now filling and sanding and filling and sanding.....phase is nearing to the end. Real fun will start soon Cheers Mick 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArnoldAmbrose Posted March 20, 2021 Share Posted March 20, 2021 Gidday Mick, please excuse my ignorance but I have no idea what this is. It can't be a flying thingy, those wings are too small. It definitely looks like it might possibly a submersible craft of some sort, maybe? Of that perhaps I'm sure of. 🙂 It looks interesting anyway.

Michael M Posted March 20, 2021 Author Share Posted March 20, 2021 It's Chinese sub called 351, sole example of type 033G1. It was converted from a standard 033G submarine to carry 6 anti-ship missiles. 033G is an improved version of 033, which in turn is Chinese copy of Soviet project 633 called Romeo by NATO forces. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael M Posted April 12, 2021 Author Share Posted April 12, 2021 Now there is something going on on this one as well, hull is ready for wirework, rockets for paint and the coning tower..... well it's coming along... bug.ger is too big for my background Early stage of conning tower, picture taken with washing machine That how it looks now: rockets: Cheers Mick 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael M Posted April 22, 2021 Author Share Posted April 22, 2021 Coning tower done. Lack of PE and the fact that in this scale it looks useless anyway, allowed me to refresh my ability to work with wire. Luckily for me the real thing is even rougher and more banged up Cheers Mick 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael M Posted April 30, 2021 Author Share Posted April 30, 2021 First colors, haven't painted anything that big for a long time Cheers Mick 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael M Posted May 6, 2021 Author Share Posted May 6, 2021 I've started to play with color on the hull. I'm lazy, so great background and taken with washing machine again 😜 Orange base: some shadows: Cheers Mick 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael M Posted May 7, 2021 Author Share Posted May 7, 2021 Highlight done. Now it needs the nice filter of the final color Cheers Mick 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael M Posted May 8, 2021 Author Share Posted May 8, 2021 Done In reality color is a bit more reddish brown, my camera gets stupid with that kind of colors.... Cheers Mick 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robgizlu Posted May 8, 2021 Share Posted May 8, 2021 That looks great - You really are the tonal shade Meister Mick Rob 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael M Posted May 8, 2021 Author Share Posted May 8, 2021 (edited) Thanks, It's 10-15 mist-overs with very thin mixture Beefy. This way you control the effect. Edited May 8, 2021 by Michael M 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael M Posted May 13, 2021 Author Share Posted May 13, 2021 (edited) Sorry Beefy, I didn't take photo after each color, but i think it's still quite clear what's done here. There's 5 shades altogether. Still needs some line treatment before final color. I'll do that while shading the sail and other leftovers.

beefy66 Posted May 14, 2021 Share Posted May 14, 2021 23 hours ago, Michael M said: There's 5 shades altogether. Cheers Mick are you sure that is not 50 shades of Grey. I take it from the patternation you do not sweep the air brush but more like a mottle pattern to apply these coats. looking great more please when your ready think i could use this method on my new project for the worn aluminium.

Michael M Posted May 14, 2021 Author Share Posted May 14, 2021 It's mottled because it's HUGE and would be quite dull without it, on them smaller ones there is no mottling 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael M Posted May 21, 2021 Author Share Posted May 21, 2021 Blue done, now time for deck (black), sonar and underwater comms housings ( bow top and bottom, silver-ish and crumpled ) Sail: Rest of the junk: I have far more fun with this than with Fuyuzuki 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael M Posted May 26, 2021 Author Share Posted May 26, 2021 Now fun is over, all base colors are done. I'll have to devote some attention to them windows MACRO is the modelers greatest enemy.... Cheers Mick 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael M Posted June 1, 2021 Author Share Posted June 1, 2021 Washed, I still need to make vertical shadows/crumples on the sonar and underwater phone covers, then few days for curing and DESTRUCTION DERBY As it stands I'd call it my version of NAVIGA Cheers Mick 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
