If I was going to do a Huge Submarine like Yves, is probably use chipping fluids. The difficulty with the camo scheme is not destroying it. This US Carrier shows how grubby they get at sea,

Basically look at photos of real ships to look for rust points, and see how it flows down the hull. As the side of this hull is so large I can’t imagine upkeep at sea would be easy. Pretty much a process of sponging on some black or using a brush , then dark rust then light rust.

I want to rust it. It’s fun. And if I don’t, Cog will pick on me.

With thin CA and a toothpick you’d be fine, take longer to drill out the holes.

The portholes are included in the PE but they are not needed as the kit ringols are good enough really.

Grunge part 1: using a wash for grey ships to bring out the ringols and panel lines. Streaking grime next. I inserted a video by mistake but it appears to have worked! 9E70AB2A-A8D4-47EB-87A8-9E6AA59B0E4C.MOV

The lovely thing about this model is you just can’t hide your mistakes under paint like I do. As a builders model it’s fantastic.

Now to tone and highlight, using AK Kriegsmarine filter. This stuff is incredibly strong so it needs a lot of diluting but it works well bringing out highlights. If you use it strait out of the bottle it splotches. I intend to do some pin washes next then some dry brushing to bring out the panels and ringols.

Roo meat is quite good really; considering we are probably the only nation to eat it’s coat of arms. There are sharks in Sydney Harbour so technically they live in cities.

Kangaroos are dangerous up close, they’ll disembowel you. Number 1 cause of accidents outside of capital cities. As for the sharks.......

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.
