Hi Micheal. A really nice build. Excellent workmanship. The frames look spot on and the colour of the timber is real nice. Please keep on posting your build log.. Waiting on the next instalment. Regards Antony.

Hello fellow ship modellers. A update as promised. The fitting of the parts is tight if you don't remove the charring from the laser cutting. Contours look nice although the bulkheads have yet to be sanded. The method used in assembly is fool proof and holds the keel very straight. The stand has some very nice shape and design We have decided that we will not continue the magazines and will cancel the subscription. BUT this does not mean that we are not going to finish what we started.. We are going to do our own version of the Pearl with pictures from the web. Should be fun and we can call the shots on what Alex wants in the ship Will be using Birch ply for the remaining components of the build. And all sorts of hardwood timber that I have accumulated. Many thanks for looking in. Regards Antony and Alex

dry brushing
AntonyUK replied to stevetuck56's topic in Painting, finishing and weathering products and techniques
Hi. I use drybrushing on all on my warhammer stuff. For instance on a stone wall.. Put on the background colour. Then drybrushing the surface. Using a lighter colour. Use a very fine brush. Put some paint on the brush then remove 90% of what you just put on by brushing it off with a cloth or paper towel. Test it first on some scrape to get the right texture/finish. Then brush it lightly over the stonework. The high spots will be highlighted with the drybrush colour. It takes a little practice to get it right But the effect is outstanding. it's what the name implies Dry Brushing. There are a few good videos on Utube. Regards Antony. -
Hi Bob. Just catching up on your build. And I am stunned at the shear quality of your build. Your Triton build was excellent .. but you have excelled yourself with this one Regards Antony.

Hello mark. WOW. Turned out to be a fantastic model and the detail is first class. Regards Antony.
-
Hi Keith. Mark is spot on with his advice All the ships I have been on do not have any ropes on the deck. They are long coiled and tied with thin lashing and stored on the belaying pin that is used to that that preticular rope is tied to. The only exception to this is when the ropes are being inspected and then they are in coils for short ropes and snaked along the deck for the long ropes. I know there are a lot of photos out there ... but that in for ceremony purpose and not done in normal practice. Regards Antony.

Hi Steve. Yes you can fill the Bow section if you want...It will make the planking better. I use balsa blocks the same thickness as the gaps between the bulkheads. Dry fit first and mark both sides to show the excess to be trimmed off. Trim off the excess leaving a little spare to be sanded later. Glue them in place. And sand the contours. Hatchttepartworks is a pain. I still have only got parts 1 to 3. Not happy with them. Regards Antony.
