  1. Do you dampen parts like the wing fillets to shape them?
  2. I've got OneNote as it came bundled...never used it. Thanks much for getting the word out on that software. Will definitely try it out now.
  3. Thanks. I watched some Youtube videos to learn about the app for my iPhone. I'm lucky if I know 10% of my cell phone capabilities. I really appreciate learning about the feature from you. Here I had a solution for the problem all this time and didn't even know it.
  4. Not sure how to use a translation app on my phone. Do you take a photo of it and the phone translates it or ??
  5. What words of advice can you offer those of us who have never built a card model now that you have some experience under your belt. What parts of it seem the most challenging? The fact the instructions are in a non native language is intimidating to me. What steps are you taking to solve that issue or are you fluent in other languages?
  6. With the exception of a set of deck crew figures not yet in my possession, this project is rapidly coming to a close. I applied a blue-black wash to the deck then masked and painted some random deck planks in a darker wood color. Next I intend to give one last wash then add a few missing pieces to the deck along with a little detail painting.
  7. Thanks Yves. I painted the blast bags with Mr Color bone. Then applied liberally a Tamiya brown detailing wash. After the wash dries in about 20 minutes, clean away the excess using a paint brush wet with odorless enamel thinner and a cotton swab. Remove enough excess brown to your satisfaction that leaves shadows in the recesses. Next for the deck treatment, I have covered the mahogany primer with Mr Color sandy brown. After allowing the coat to dry, will continue with additional applications of oil paints and washes to detail out the deck.
  8. Painting and finishing of the deck begins with a Mr Surfacer mahogany primer.
  9. For the life of me, cannot figure out how to make a pre order. Maybe if I wait a bit longer a pre order won’t be necessary. The figures posed in deck cleaning activities will help make an interesting display.
  10. Thanks Ken. It won’t be as prominent with the guns in place. The flat coat tones it down a lot as well.
  11. That's a super camo job, Alan. Looks awesome!
  12. Thanks Mike. I think the base will really set it off. Got to wait until tomorrow or Monday to start painting the base. Paint on order due to arrive then.
  13. Trying not to over do it…added some streaking light rust, grime, and light gray. Want to keep it subtle. A good dull coat over everything should blend it all much better. Waiting until my guns and blast bags are finished and installed for the dull coat.
  14. Thanks! Who makes the deck aftermarket? Have not seen that yet.
  15. Thanks much. I am looking for some Japanese sailor figures but have not found any yet.
  16. The kit provides a section of clear monofilament (fishing line) for the railings. I decided to replace it with Plastruct .3mm styrene rod.
  17. Thanks for the comments gentlemen. Will do a little more weathering then give it all a dull clear coat to seal it all in. Saving the railings for last as I am afraid of breaking them while handling the model. I've already dumb-thumbed the stanchions a couple of times but stopped short of actually breaking them off.
  18. Gave the entire model a blue wash-filter, then added some accent color and rust streaking.
  19. I have hand painted some chipping effects and detailed some raised parts, then gave the entire model a good gloss coat of lacquer. This gloss coat is in preparation for washes and other effects to be added later after it dries thoroughly.
  20. Beautiful model! Outstanding is an understatement.
  21. That rigging is the most challenging part of a ship build for me. Yours looks great!
