Well, I'm a little very old fashioned. I don't have an airbrush. Simply the old methods. painting, dry brushing and a washing with thinned paint. On plastic Have a look at the military models (links in signature) On wood Paint with thinned paint, Let dry, polish with scotch brite (post 129)

Building the superstructure of both vehicles. The ammo carrier (left) All parts fit 👍 Grrr Some cutting and sanding, and hairpins and glue The gun carrier : little space availeble for many things to place Some extra parts for detail ( from Russian kv turret...) The instructions say to place the cannon first. But I don't know if the parts of the superstructure will fit so i make the superstructure first and dry fit this on the chassis (Surprise, it fits from the first time ) And then the cannon doesn't go in anymore I will place the cannon first and then the superstructure. It's been a long time since I've built such a difficult kit like this one. But we'll get there. Instruction riddles : Make part C and see where you put it an they sometimes forget to number part 5 Thanks for following

When fully planked an sanded, it will look great. Shields, shields,shields. Looks you really like to make them

Great work G.L. And of course, thanks for the detailed explanation .

The purpose of a spritsail was to help with steering. It may be that this was still experimental during this period. With the help of the spritsail it was also "easier" to keep the ship on course. Helpfull?

For a first build, excellent work !

If you want to drill out the barrel of the cannons. Usually these were 6 pounders with a bore diameter of about 76mm (on this scale 1 mm looks ok). I think you have a rigging plan a few hundred years later than the GH, 16th century rigging is different from your drawings. And yes, normally first the shrouds, and then the yards

The deck curve English Spanish

1/72 scale Panzers in white metal from MMS models. painted more then 25 years ago with Tamiya acrylic paint. Looks ok to me

We can go fishing with the worms for bait. In this build I will only give you an idea every now and then. It's your model and you build it There is some free interpretation in 16th century shipbuilding Some things that I don't think are right. The "stairs" on the side of the hull, never seen them on a drawing of a ship from this era The draines of the lower deck are also questionable Grating or hatches? I think : grating that can be closed with hatches

Neat : indeed Armament ammo tank : none No The main purpose of a carrier is to transport material (weapons) and people. In theory, people and equipment leave the carrier before entering combat In a tank everyone remains "safe" inside the tank and takes part in the battle Indeed. But i think only some parts of the suspension Yep.

Welcome back You haven't missed anything for now. This build was temporarily on hold. First finished a small plastic Bounty. Had a "light" corona attack, and defeated it Now build a few military vehicles and then we'll get back to this build.

Next build The 10.5cm LeFH-16 auf geschuetzpanzer Mark.VI(e) and the munitionspanzer Mark VI(e) In simple english A 10.5 cm howitzer on the chassis of a captured British Mark VI light tank and the accompanying ammunition vehicle. both models are from ACE http://acemodel.com.ua/en/model/558 http://acemodel.com.ua/en/model/495 General history https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/10.5_cm_leFH_16_Gesch%C3%BCtzwagen_Mk_VI_736_(e) The myth of a modern motorized German army in 1940 is not entirely true. Only elite panzer divisions had modern (tank) equipment ( some of which were actually just training vehicles). Their tactics were more daring and modern. After the Blitzkrieg of 1940, Germany had a large amount of captured material at its disposal. All this went into the service of the German Whermacht. A certain Alfred Becker had the idea of mounting his unit's howitzers on these light tanks. They served well on the Eastern Front and were the first fully self-propelled howitzer unit in the German Whermacht. Alfred Becker's talents did not go unnoticed. Baucommando Becker (Build unit Becker) turned hopelessly outdated French vehicles and tanks into completely "new" German vehicles that made it quite difficult for the Allies in Normandy (1944) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alfred_Becker The plans and the parts Start building the two hulls. as always with short run kits a lot of flash and a lot of cleaning. to be continued

The general shape of the model LOOKS pretty good (Google translate made an error, or me) haha 😇 I did 4 years of study and building to make a painted hull is the shape correct? Is the painting correct? With or without a balcony? with me with balcony. Correct? I still do not know.. 16th century shipbuilding, few rules, many differences, little correct information added some pdf's (all legally downloaded from the internet) about 16th century ship building elizabethan-merchant-ships-and-shipbuilding.pdf Full thesis bates.pdf Furring in light of 16th century ship design_web.pdf Princess Channel model.pdf Princess Channel.pdf red bay 2.pdf red bay.pdf scheepsbouw 16e eeuw Engeland.pdf red bay.pdf Steere-MA2004 versiering.pdf spaanse scheepsbouw werkwijze.pdf Need more info : just ask, but you will probably have to wait a little for a answer

I follow In this era there was not much decoration on the stern. And indeed a statue of a bambi ?? This ship was intended to operate "behind enemy lines", not to attract attention. But there is little information from ships of this period. And the general shape of the model is pretty good Good luck.

Billings's Vasa was my first wooden ship. I really enjoyed building this model

Thank you Thank you Thank you Thank you Thank you Just two figures, a small crate, small blueprint and it tells a full story in the shipyard (I made an attempt to put a bottle and 2 cups on the crate. But on a scale of 1/110 it did not work out very well) Dull colors and rusted copper... (Once a military modeller, always a military modeller ) No more big covid problems, but still tired quickly

If I now add Tahiti ladies... then we have a party and then there may not even be a launch of the ship 🤣

I have the same problem, does anyone have an answer for this. The photos are on my PC and I don't have a URL Update: The photos are in the gallery. But I don't know if they are in an album

In this period they only used 1 single rope / gun door
