Happy New Year and great idea Bob Keith -
Looking niceeeeeee Boyd- have you tried Ronseal quick drying matt varnish which is water based and re coatable in one hour! just try some on a few off cuts first to see what you think, i use it on all my models now whether plastic metal or wood Keith
-
weather is the same here in cumbria m8 with some really nasty weather forecast midweek. to be honest i like the variations in wood shade- shows she hasn't been mass produced nd there is so much detail on the finished ship it will detract from the vary shade! Keith
-
looking nice n shipshape there m8y- gonna look awesome when finished Keith
-
I followd the destructions about fitting the decks Boyd and am now trying to figure the best way to rig the cannons on the main deck. Keith

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
