Jerry L Posted July 25, 2022 Share Posted July 25, 2022 Michael, drawing up the chair to have a good look. How well do the decks fit? Looking good so far. I looks like you have a wooden deck for it in the background, did you purchase other after market items? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael M Posted July 25, 2022 Author Share Posted July 25, 2022 They fit well, I'm in progress of making the wooden decks for fore and aft. I have wooden flight deck and both Eduard kits. I also have 5" guns and whaleboats from Black Cat. I'll probably draw some more PE stuff in the process... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael M Posted August 19, 2022 Author Share Posted August 19, 2022 (edited) Holidays out of the way, time to go back to my little shipyard Hull primed, it requires 2-3 little interventions, but in general I'm out of the woods. Decks fit, that's a relief, not bad for the first time Cheers Mick Edited August 19, 2022 by Michael M 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jerry L Posted September 4, 2022 Share Posted September 4, 2022 The fit of the decks to the hull looks like a cad rendering. Excellent work, looking forward to the painting. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael M Posted September 19, 2022 Author Share Posted September 19, 2022 Done, now it's time to put proper color over that undercoat. In upright position Don't worry I won't bore you with the whole process for all colors Just wanted to show the process itself on one example.

Michael M Posted September 23, 2022 Author Share Posted September 23, 2022 As always with this color, what's on the picture looks nothing like the real thing It's more brown-ish and with a bit more contrast. Maybe it'll be better visible after lumping all the seaweed and other sh..... If anyone knows why I'm always failing in taking pictures of that kind of colors, I'd gladly get educated Cheers Mick 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Courageous Posted September 23, 2022 Share Posted September 23, 2022 A lot of work in that hull painting you've done there, looks good. As for your picture taking...is it phone or camera? Phone cameras tend to 'enhance' colours to make them more pleasing. Dedicated cameras are much better, especially when taking Whether this is your issue, I don't know but its worth thinking about if you're wanting accurate pictures.

Michael M Posted September 23, 2022 Author Share Posted September 23, 2022 It's camera and fully artificial light, so weather is no issue. There's never a problem with any other type of color. I'm not saying I'm a photo-master, but I think that I can do decent photos, as long as it doesn't involve hull red-ish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colour rendering in red is a problem with all cameras. The solution is to shoot in Raw format and customize the profile of the camera with a tool like this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ColorChecker 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
