Jaxboat reacted to Telp in HMS Victory new colours
Red lead itself was not as brilliant as the final finish, it was used as a part of the original finish as normally it is a dull colour mainly used in its own right as a primer of metal. Of course lead in paints is now as such banned in the UK so i'd be interested to know what they have used as a substitute. The linseed oil gave the gloss sheen but that is a great red for sure. Nice video, and when I get round to building my Victory I will certainly use the new colours.

Excellent film. Thank you for sharing with us. I did not know that red lead was that brilliant. It will be interesting to see how she looks once the linseed oil "dries' (oxidizes). I would imagine they used turpentine for brushing consistency. I wonder if lead poisoning was an issue for the crew who painted her or the yard workers who mixed them. Today if you opened up a bag of red lead pigment to do paint grind you would probably be in a hazmat suit! BTW: you must grind (apply energy) to the pigment/ paint vehicle mix to wet and disaggregate the pigment particles into their smallest size. This optimizes hiding and stability. In water borne exterior house paint the pigment is ground in a water soluble resin know as a pigment dispersant. Once the "grind" is finished it is "let down" poured mixed into the primary waterborne polymer emulsion
paint vehicle.

Jaxboat reacted to Paul Jarman in HMS Victory new colours
Have you seen this small documentary on HMS Victory's Trafalgar colour scheme? Anyone planning to repaint? I do love it when the experts suddenly find new info on all things ship wise and we modellers have to decide whether to change our build for realism.
Good luck to anyone deciding to repaint. For new Victory modellers you have the opportunity to paint her as she looked at Trafalgar.

Jaxboat reacted to wefalck in Prepare wood for acrilyc paint
Acrylic paints are water-based and will raise the wood-grain. So one would need to sand it again afterwards. Assuming that you are talking about a fully covering, opaque layer of paint, I would prepare the wood with a good solvent-based sanding filler, sand/scrape it smooth, and then apply the paint.
Solvent-based fillers are to be prefered over water-based (acrylic) fillers, because they penetrate the wood better.

Vallejo specifically, I know their latest range is cadmium free, but there might still be older stock around with cadmium in it.
Anyway, it is only good practise to wear a respirator when airbrushing.

Ulises Victoria mate, I have heard that the Jotika/CalderCraft 1:72 is the best kit so far out there.

Thanks for the info even if it was sad. Now I can put off saving for the home addition I would need to display it. I was in Stavanger several decades ago. Charming and beautiful place. Remember you could have reindeer about a dozen ways when you went to a restaurant.
Ulises:
Sorry you will be disappointed (for now). Was looking forward to following your lead on the build
Sounds like some evil marketer is the problem

Hi Mike,
Those issues are Sept/Oct and Nov/Dec 2016. Griff is doing a nice job on these builds.

Thanks for providing this info. I have the part three issue but evidently accidentally threw away part 1 and 2 . Can you tell me what issues they were in? I want to buy new copies from Ships In Scale.
Thanks

Jaxboat got a reaction from Canute in Model Shipway's Paints
Pet peeve of mine: Floquil paints are not "acetone based" and Acrylics are not "water based". In both cases the water and acetone are in the case of the Floquil, solvents for the paint polymer vehicle or, in the case of Acrylics, they are water borne i.e. they are suspended in the water by various means but not soluble in the water(acrylic paint vehicles have little or no water solubility depending on their acrylic polymer's composition). There are acrylic paint vehicles that are soluble in the appropriate solvent blend (KRYLON spray paints for example). Some acrylic vehicles have partial solubility in water alcohol mixes which is how acrylic water borne hobby paints develop good flow and level properties.

Moonbug
How wonderful of you to finish Augie's Confederacy. You did a first rate job. I am working on my own Confederacy and have a question. What finish did you or Augie use on the deck? I love the warm color. Is from the finish, a wood upgrade or both. Any help greatly appreciated.
