    PeterJohn reacted to Landrotten Highlander in HMS Victory 2017 re-fit colours   
    I suggest for this you ask robdurant (one of the members here) - he has recently taken some pictures on the Victory (on a very bright sunny day).    He gave a link to his flick album: https://www.flickr.com/photos/150573193@N04/sets/72157689985594735
    There is one where the background behind the steering wheel does look a bit pink (is that the one you are referring to?), but i think it is either the same colour as the masts, or a very pale wood or even white? colour - but that is my opinion.
    Best ark robdurant for that

    Fright
    PeterJohn got a reaction from Fright in Weathering a copper hull   
    Hi Ray,
     
    I'm kinda new to the plastic sailing ship hobby. I just started my third, an old 1:96 scale model of the Cutty Sark, and painting the hulls with flat acrylics. But the thing is just looking too new!. I want to go for an aged, weathered look. There has to be a simple way, but I can't find whole lot of info about it.
     
    Will you post the results you got with the weathering powders, and how you did it?
     
    Thanks. Good luck with your build!

    Thanks! I will try that method and we'll see how it turns out.
     
    I've come across other techniques, all of which look interesting too. I'll post my results and let you know.
     
    Cheers!,

    Hi again Ray,
     
    I've only been using brushes myself, and acrylics. I've had good luck, making sure to lightly sand and prime the surfaces first. No problem, even with large surfaces, using large brushes and long strokes. My only problem is how to make the darn thing look weathered (still researching that topic). I'll look at that link cwboland has. Maybe something there. Thanks cw!
     
    Good luck,
    Pete

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.
