You're getting there Ian. So many things on sticks!! It's like an 80s cocktail party
and not one with cheese and pineapple Jim!
I have eyes on for this one - a favourite ship of mine!
Steve
Cheers Steve. I hope that you can find your way around when you dont have your eyes on!
Cracking work so far Ian.
Thanks Ian
This morning I got the stripes sorted. lucky for me they were not identical either side. So far only done one side though as I find it easier to have the hull up on its side...
I gave the boot topping a second coat while I hade some paint in the
airbrush.
Never mind the box its on, thats for later. All the stuff on deck is just placed there 'out the way'.
I cant remember if I said this but I am NOT painting this with Colour Coat enamels but Vallejo
Model Color acrylics. Oh and one from their Panzer aces range.
They match right out the bottle and need no mixing of colours! I went to a lot of bother to get the Colour coats paints but it has been soooo long since I used enamels of any kind, I found that they did my head in and the room stank for days. With windows open and extractor on!!
Have always been an enamel fan but ..... I have been looking for a Match up for Acrylics for a while and have a spread sheet with all I need to know (Only the different Navies).
Anyhow:
Really need to paint those blast bags lol.
The Funnel cap needs a bit of flat clear with a drip of white to take the bling off it.
I will take the other side tomorrow and then its a quick touch up of the Hull Red and a good coat or three of clearcoat. Then I go top side and start painting all the tiny bits that go on deck and all that. Oh and the ID banners fore and aft.
Cheers and comments and questions welcome.
