Now that it's painted the sanding of the name is hardly noticable.

Those cannon on the main deck are just cheating - I'd have had to whip them off and add wheels etc

I have the Airfix one in the stash - bit smaller scale than this one though. Really must give it a go sometime

 

[papa 695]

Got some more colour on the decks also cleaned and drilled 30 cannons, painted and fitted.

Coming along nicely Ian.

 

[papa 695]

Got the sides painted now.

 

[Steven000]

Looking good Papa
Smart to keep the 2 parts seperated, helps a lot with painting I assume.
Cheers,
Steven

Very nice Ian.
I see that you have gone with the more muted colour of yellow ochre.

Yes you have to do it really, otherwise with all the cannons sticking out it would be a bit more difficult.

Very nice Ian.

Thanks Ralph, it’s a mixture of Flat Flesh and Cork Brown from Vallejo.

 

[papa 695]

Got the 2 hull halves and decks fitted, also quite a few of the cannons.

Looking good Ian .

 

[Jon Heptonstall]

Great stuff.
Are those port lids moulded as closed?
Jon.

Jon.

Yes they are Jon, but you do get separate ones for the ports with cannons in.

 

[papa 695]

Still slowly painting the finer detail to the sides and back.

 

[Deleted member 4539]

Very nice .

 

[Jon Heptonstall]

Yes indeedy.Love the colours you've used.
Jon.

 

[papa 695]

Got a little bit more done to this one.

 

[Deleted member 4539]

Nice to see this again Ian .

 

[Neil Merryweather]

Looking very good Ian. I wasn't sure about the salmon pink but it looks ok actually

 

[flyjoe180]

Nice work Ian. The decking looks very convincing.
