Such detail is sick ... it really is incomprehensible the realistic detail you create in your build ...! -
You might not need steelers with that size of wood. Put it in boiling water, and you'll be able to bend it quite far

I use the cheaper ones for less important work, a.o. priming large surfaces. I prefer the Bulson/Harder & Steinbeck for more detailed work The H&S has two different needles and two cup sizes, which makes it more versatile (http://www.harder-airbrush.eu/en/infinity.html - the tow in one) but is rather pricey (simply put darn expensive) but I want to use it not just for modelling. Compressors ... is a different piece of cake. Get a silent one, and one you can regulate the pressure easily. I've made the wrong buy, I can regulate the pressure, but it isn't easy.

I found some value in this: http://www.ebay.co.uk/gds/Your-Guide-to-Buying-an-Airbrush-for-Model-Kit-Building-/10000000177318677/g.html In the end it is the content of your wallet, and what you are prepared to pay. At present I've got four: two brand-less (one siphon fed the remainder gravity), a bulson, and a harder & steinbeck. As an after thought, you do notice the difference between low and high end airbrushes

The Test Strips Art is a pain in the hiney. I know, my father was a dress designer, I've followed art school, and I still can't get across what I want ... Colour (Finaly someone who knows how to write the word ) Maybe try a light underground, and dry-brush a reddish (teak) colour on top. Define the planks by drawing a dark line, to represent the seam between them ... Painting guids are what they are GUIDES. Teak isn't sandy brown, it is reddish brown and if not maintained with oil, it turns brownish grey An established deck in teak, looked at from afar .................. grey-ish I would presume Beat you to the the book bought it from a seller in Germany Doitashimashte, Fartyg-san

Have you seen this one http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Pontos-Model-1-350-IJN-Yamato-Detail-Up-Set-New-Tool-for-Tamiya-kit-/272318184359?hash=item3f676dbba7:g:zTMAAOSwf-VWZTNL it comes from Greg's corner of the globe. Found most of the PE sets in that neighbourhood. I usually look on ebay.com/co.uk/de one never knows if and where you can grab a bargain. Often cheaper even including shipping & handling The same bloke has a set for the old tool (AU$340)

That is not what I meant. Planks usually run from stem to stern or vice versa, but your wood looks a bit like a single plank for the entire deck. As a plank it looks good, although, as deck it looks strange to me.

Looking at the sizes ... For testing ... That will be a tight fit

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.
