Ok, all the weathering that i did below the waterline just was'nt right, it just did'nt look like the photo's. So what to do? I know, i'll do it all again....easy! A tin of matt varnish, some oil paint, Mig pigments, white spirit, several knackered brushes, a roll a Tamiya masking tape, some bits of sponge, a whole day of painting, three day's of drying and two hours removing Maskol......and it's done!.....Easy!!
Actually there is still a bit of farting about to do here but it's basically done.
Comments and quetions welcomed,
Sav | That looks absolutely superb. I don't ever remember seeing salt and barnacle encrustations looking as realistic as that. Fantastic job.
Any chance of a blow by blow account, I'm sure there will be people out there who would love to see how you achieved those effects.
