Varnish over painted hull
clearway replied to TonyUK's topic in Painting, finishing and weathering products and techniques
no the ronseal quick drying does not yellow the white paint- i varnished the wheelhouse roof of my billings mary ann which i painted white and it did not yellow the paint. Keith -
Nice work with the cannons Boyd- don't forgetb that there is that much detail on Victory that people wont really notice any little compromises Keith

I use ronseal quick drying varnish which is water based and available in gloss, matt and satin. -
gotta love kit manufacturers sometimes!
-
In the Haynes victory manual it shows the ropes tied above the breech then run under the trolley to take up slack Boyd. Keith
-
I do this once in a while to dumb down a little and take a break Boyd- mind you have discovered all them lovely turned metal gun barrels and metal working track links + etched upgrades which is a whole load of fun Keith

Ty Lawrence- been having a holiday from my Vic and been doing 1/35 armour- especially german kitties see pic below.
-
Coming along great there- i must put my 1/35 german steel cats down and restart my Vic Keith
-
Yet again apologies for not being ships but weathered the edges of the tracks with a mixture of humbrol rust and dark earth and thinned matt 29 paint as a keying coat. Keith
-
Looking good there Boyd- will have to put my 1/35 ww2 german armour to one side and re-start my Vic Keith
-
really coming along nicely there. Keith
-
Nice work- i have the academy warspite with white ensign upgrade and hopefully soon the pontos wood deck. The weathering looks fine to me- at this scale i think less is more if you know what i mean. Keith
-
Nice to see you are better Bob and respect for the pork consumption Keith
-
Wasn't just you Boyd m8, i am about to re-start my Victory after mucking about with me 1/35 scale tanks for a while, and first job is to trim the brass castings to fit the available space. Keith
-
At the end of the day Boyd it is your ship so whatever you want it to look like will be fine- if anyone complains tell them to go and build their own - as for the admiral mine has been looking at me for years in the workshop and shaking her head and saying your nuts! Keith
-
Coming along great Boyd. keith
-
Looking good Bob- i always put a lil cyano gel in the nail hole to help it stay there
-
it can be a bit messier but epoxy resin provides a really strong bond as well and i always use this if possible for glueing eyes/ pins etc.especially if they are going to be slightly load bearing. Keith

Bob i have used peco model railway track fixing pins for the bolts on the pintles and gudgeons on some builds- they even come ready blackened! For my cutty i used billings panel pins left au natural. Keith
