Soya 1/350

[Mark1]

The hull has now had a coat of vallejo gloss ready for some decals to be applied and weathering.
And a random selection of the many small bits have got some colour.

This is a nicely done progress Mark, reminds me of my 1/700 Spy Ship build I did a while ago. The moulding detail on the hull is really good. Definitely will assist in the wash and weathering later.

Cheers,

Cheers guys thanks for looking in
I have watched that video already, wish the orange i used covered that well, i used mr hobby h14 as per instructions ,sprayed over white but practically zero coverage, think its orange clear labelled wrong!

Hi all, progress has slowed a bit due to an interruption called being back at work but i have now got the 22 parts together to make the bridge,still more to go! The rear deck is now fitted and the front one has had most of its bits glued on too ,including the anchor chains. Made a start at painting the plane,great fun masking at 1/350 scale.

Hi Mark

What a lovely build, unusual subject, but built and painted very well!

A ?? I assume you have brush painted most of the deck fittings?

Thanks Bob, yeah is unusual just fancied not painting grey for a bit lol. The only thing ive brush painted so far is the silver on the winch pulleys. And a bit of weathering.

A little bit more progress,a few decals gone on and started adding some bits on the rear deck. One of the helicopters has a pe upgrade which will look a bit better than clear plastic with decals.

Hi all, bit more progress, hull decals have been applied along with some weathering,being an icebreaker it seemed reasonable to give it some rusty scrapes. Ive toned dow the heli deck as it was to black and new looking,still some decals to add there also, and just a pic for size comparison.

I was impressed when I saw the weathering on the hull. Then I became impressively impressed when I saw the scale of what your building. That 17ml bottle certainly puts it into perspective.
