  1. Aaaaand done, I used a few washes to bring out the highlights, then a dry brush to white to hit the night points on the rivets etc. Then some streaking grime, then some dark brown to represent chipped rust points, then some streaked rust from those points. i know someone is going to say “they would never let it get that bad” but I don’t know boats.
  2. The main 8” guns painted, primer, dark grey, light grey then a medium grey overspray. A blue filter was then added over the top. Washes and weathering next.
  3. Ok, I found it on the internets; where pray tell my learned friends, did you find it? looking for sources here....
  4. The Micromaster bits, the depth charge rack, and flota nets and the 36 inch search lights
  5. So a full day of masking, and the superstructures painted. Filters washes and weathering to go.
  6. So, some chipping a and filters, faded the wooden deck parts
  7. Deck grey, chipping to go. and some deck details being worked up
  8. I’m far too disorganised to make a ‘how to’ build. I need to start writing lists to make sure I don’t forget bits. The Pontos set looks so good for this but it would be too big to park anywhere.
  9. thanks all but Unfortunately if it’s not weathered now it’s bland! moving along, the upper works, unpainted, primer; you can see my scratch built splinter mattresses with the details scratched in, came up OK so far, the first deck painted an old rust colour, I’ll give it some chipping fluid after I do a clear coat. These would have been busy areas with lots of foot traffic
  10. Focsle base done, rusty chains and chain stoppers to sit on these yet.
  11. Washes and a light spray of tan to make it look like the paint has been worn down with foot traffic working the decks
  12. So HMS Kent did a lot of Murmansk convoys. So I reckon lots of weathering
  13. Filters and some grunge. I’m thinking I might do them as salt instead
