    I just came across this great build and l’m reviving a bit of an old topic. I’m just pulling mine out and this is certainly a benchmark to aim at. When you do you oil canning effect, do you mask/paint a single horizontal line at a time and then move the tape up? Or do you mask several horizontal levels at once with very thin strips and spray them, then move on to the vertical? I very much like you’re effect. I did a similar shading on my USS Laffey build: https://www.dropbox.com/s/k7aqn9v8yrd98ip/04.jpg?dl=0 But I masked a grid and sprayed the same corner with a lighter color. Overall good effect, but extremely tedious and I think highlighting the raised “rib” of the oil can the way you’re method does is a more realistically. It would be very uniform, but I wonder if the process could even be sped up by spraying the lighter color first, then using a course window screen as a mask for the grid and then spray the darker color. Then overspray to fill the contrast.

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.
