Hey there ! 

 

Actually I don't know anything about Plastic Modelling but I'm sure this will be interesting. I'll follow your log and of course, good luck with your first build. 

 

Cheers, Bugra.

Good kit to start out on.  I notice you are using Tamiya paints, which are very good.  Do you have their "Mr. Surfacer" primer?  I would suggest washing all the parts in a warm water with a mild detergent, then once dry, giving everything a light coat of primer and you will find your model will be much easier to paint.

Beautiful paint job !!!

 

One tiny thing ... can you get any thread that is thinner than what you are using for your rat-lines ??

A+ Work on the build.  Ratlines are looking good.  What exactly are you asking, is it the yard orientation?  The pictures are rather dark.

Wow!  You ship looks great.  I am working on the same ship.  I keep trying to get my white stripe on the hull to where I am happy with it.  That has been the toughest part for me so far.  Right now I am working on my masts and the cannons on the deck.  I am using the plastic ratlines.  Your ratlines look great .  I like how you painted the bottom part of your cannons.  This was the first ship I did, and I am now redoing it because I didn't paint or do a lot of other things on my first one.  I just wanted to get the feel of putting things together.  My biggest problem is the rigging on these ships.  I am still trying to learn how to tie the knots and get the thread tight.
