Czech modeler Doris Obručová advised me to use an external matt spray topcoat. I tried matt Vallejo varnish .. Tests outside the ship have shown the best way to pour a horizontal layer of paint ... Bingo Then dry with a hair dryer and .. the surface is matte! Ship finally unpacked .. I will not edit any more..💥 O. -

The dyeing is already finished after two months, the retouches have stretched a bit. Red sprayed somewhere again. I damaged the acrylic paint with alcohol .. Spraying with matt clear lacquer is also not without problems, semi-gloss paints do not want to matte. I'm studying how to do it.. -

I'm fighting green. The first did not cover at all .. I had to use the darker one. At the same time, the front wall was redesigned.. The result is not so bad.. Retouches are still waiting for me and matte lacquer comes on top..🧐 O. -

Airbrush painting
Ondras71 replied to Keithbrad80's topic in Painting, finishing and weathering products and techniques
Greetings. I'm just starting an airbrush for a wooden model, I've studied model fibers, especially for plastic models, there's a lot of information. The finding is that it suits everyone and everyone recommends something different, it is important to buy and try and try until you get used to it. After a few experiments with acrylic paints, I am satisfied with the result, the brush never again .. Good luck!! Ondras -

I have already finished the white one, a lot of layers were needed for the dark wood. But the result is beyond my expectations..💥 Another question, on the German plan from the book "Risse von Schiffen des 16./17. Jahrhunderts " and on my Czech adaptation, is a different shape of geometric shapes. But the Czech one has a simpler square one, so I'll probably use it..😇 -

Thanks for the like.. Due to the need for dyeing and the need to create all the parts that will be dyed, I started making Knee of the head. I studied the construction of Knee of the head, it is nicely covered in the Czech thread by Doris Obručová for its construction Sovereign of the Seas .. https://www.modelforum.cz/viewtopic.php?f=177&t=43575&p=882705&hilit=klounová+paluba#p882705 A study of Dutch ships, I found that the grate of the deck drawn from the folded slats is from a later time, historically more faithful is the grate of longitudinal planks, as in the plan of the Pinas Vitsen by Ab Hoving. Production of Knee of the head.. Delivered paints and accessories to the airbrush.. -

Thank you very much Backer, it's a compliment from you..🧐 Machined vertical beams glued to the supporting part .. The front pillars, where the head will be carved, gave the most work.. I also have beams ready for the first carving test.. As a basis for the head, I used a drawing from Derfflinger's plan, RL is unusable.. Test whether pattex adhesive sticks to the waxed surface - OK! Simple beams glued. Pins and wax are waiting.. -

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.
