Many congrats for such a finish with such a kit ...👍👍👍 Your custom work on the model, especially curved decking, packed sails and futhermore paint without using primer, is an attempt that most of the experienced modellers won't dare to do ... 😉😉😉

1. Stir the media well before use. 2. Thin with cellulosic thinner. 3. Apply multiple thin coats till achieving the desired result ( with airbrush if available )and give some flush off time between coats. 4. Let it dry at least 48 hours in a dustless and warm condition. 5. Try not to use gloss paints ..... make it shiny with gloss clear coats at the end .

Matt clear coat
komdgurhan replied to robbe33's topic in Painting, finishing and weathering products and techniques
So you are trying to apply the material too thick .... Increase your thinning ratio and work layer by layer .... and give some time to dry for each layer .... -
Matt clear coat
komdgurhan replied to robbe33's topic in Painting, finishing and weathering products and techniques
Whatever you do with brush, you will get a wavy look between matt and satin ..... this is the nature of matt cote .... you can't be able to spread the particles evenly in the material, which causes the matt look, with brush .... try spray varnishes then .... -
Matt clear coat
komdgurhan replied to robbe33's topic in Painting, finishing and weathering products and techniques
If you are using the matt clear cote with brush or roller , it's mostly impossible to get an even and homogene matt look .... If you are using airbrush, stir the material well, slightly increase your thinning ratio, slightly increase the pressure ( up to 1-1,2 bar ) and slightly increase your application distance from the surface ..... but first, try all these on another surface and see the result -
Cool boat, cool weathering and nice fabric parts ..... I guess they are not tea bag ...

About the NRG
If you enjoy building ship models that are historically accurate as well as beautiful, then The Nautical Research Guild (NRG) is just right for you.
The Guild is a non-profit educational organization whose mission is to “Advance Ship Modeling Through Research”. We provide support to our members in their efforts to raise the quality of their model ships.
The Nautical Research Guild has published our world-renowned quarterly magazine, The Nautical Research Journal, since 1955. The pages of the Journal are full of articles by accomplished ship modelers who show you how they create those exquisite details on their models, and by maritime historians who show you the correct details to build. The Journal is available in both print and digital editions. Go to the NRG web site (www.thenrg.org) to download a complimentary digital copy of the Journal. The NRG also publishes plan sets, books and compilations of back issues of the Journal and the former Ships in Scale and Model Ship Builder magazines.
