  1. Hey Tim

    I'm into the same kit. You're no doubt finished. Helpful to see your work and comments about the materials. So far it's fun and being my second a decent challenge. I used individual copper plates on 1st model and will for this. Waiting now for the road to be free of snow to get to my workshopin Seattle

    Take care.... appreciate the share

  2. In case anyone is wondering, the water is some gesso texture paint (to create the larger wave patterns) on an mdf board . Then I create the smaller wave patterns (rippling) with PVA glue pushed around with a brush. Then spray on a coat of gloss varnish. Finally tiny bit of gesso again to create foam (and fill in the small gap around the ship), but used very sparingly. T
  3. Nearly finished on this one. Just a little bit of rigging thread left to add. And a some flags. And a few extra details... I find working at 1/700 scale very very difficult. Particularly anything involving paint. But if you put the model in a nice box...it seems to look ok! Will post some better quality photos when the model is finished.
  4. Thanks Mugje for your encouragement. I like your Pegasus build. Looks like a great kit - that you are taking to the next level.
  5. Quick Update. Decking and rails installed. Painted the longboat. Name letters added. Once again discovering that the hardest thing to manage is paint.
  6. Rob, Thanks for your encouragement! I sometimes think ship modelling is not the ideal hobby for someone working six days a week and with kids. Its usually an hour or two late into the evening activity for me...which makes progress slow. Hope ministry is going ok in midst of lockdown. Prayed for you this morning. Are you still at Corsham Baptist (I found you on their website)? Your Ethalion is just splendid btw! Tim
  7. Larry. I just made these hooks out of copper wire. I think it was 0.5 or 0.6mm diameter. I form the hooks using round nose pliers filed down to a small enough diameter. Sorry for being so slow to respond. I took a break from this website for a while. Tim
