RGL got a reaction from Kevin in IJN Isuzu 1945 by RGL - FINISHED - Aoshima - 1/350 - PLASTIC - Light Cruiser
Upper hull rust, getting there

Deck added and joins fixed (to a point), bit of touch up required before the brass tie down strips are added.

Continuing to grunge up the lower hull, overspray of very diluted grey, then black then green at the waterline (this time) dulls out the ribs. Salt to go then the upper hull.

And as you have to use the chipping product ASAP, the upper hull is painted, then chipped. It makes all the work on the hull plates worth it now (the glue on the bow gave way of course) as there was no detail at all.
It looks a bit stark but this is the first level of weathering.

So you like these holidays, Mr Bunny!?
Well done Greg. The brass were just sinle straight strips or segments of the deck? I think I would prefer the single straight strips to segments, although it would take more time, less chance to make a mess ...

Jeez, that was painful. A full day. Next, a matte coat, then dabble in some pigments to dirty it up.

Thanks Pat, not as hard as doing up the brass strips for the Lino deck....

It does seem sometimes as though this may be some form of modeler's purgatory.

Her movements in the last 6 months of her life were non stop, thus the flogging it's getting. It's also nice to try some new techniques just takes lots of forward planning and components
