  1. Starboard side done. Don’t panic Cog, I’ll do some more dusting at the end.
  2. So Grunging part 3; Rust. Using Schwartzbraun as a base layer, then dark rust then light rust. That’ll do 553A60D1-619B-47BB-A428-7BF6A868DA42.MOV
  3. 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,
  4. 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.
  5. I want to rust it. It’s fun. And if I don’t, Cog will pick on me.
  6. With thin CA and a toothpick you’d be fine, take longer to drill out the holes.
  7. Grunging part 2, streaking grime from every porthole and edge, I used salt from the portholes painted navy. Rust is next 433DB6A7-B6E4-444C-8F40-440EED0A8397.MOV
  8. The portholes are included in the PE but they are not needed as the kit ringols are good enough really.
  9. 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
  10. Awesome idea. I love it. I love the WW1 torpedo boats done like this.
  11. 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.
  12. 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.
  13. It’s really nice to see an unpainted PE build.
  14. All three colours done. Lots of little touch ups to go then some filters. Not ready for weathering yet. The hull is huge.
  15. 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.
  16. Kangaroos are dangerous up close, they’ll disembowel you. Number 1 cause of accidents outside of capital cities. As for the sharks.......
  17. Infini, Uschi and EZ line, there is a lot of denier lives out there now.
