  1. Welcome Messis, something different from your beautiful boat. Thank you for your kind appreciation of my endeavours
  2. I'm still trying too ... so far it doesn't work the way I want it too ... keeps us busy ...
  3. Bit sloppy drilling mate, all those curly-wurlies ... Ken (Canute) comes first, I'm curious as to how he is proceeding ... it is suddenly very quiet in his neck of the woods ........ I got some more deck furniture to add to my RCN Tribal class, and the railing ... after that ... some touch ups, decals and up to SMS Seyd...... you-know-which. CVan only do some basic work as the detailup has not yet been purchased
  4. I really like those extra details you added with your carvings. Very sharp too
  5. Shading, it means you add dark and light sections on it before you overspray with the diluted colour, establishing depth and highlights. Now you have an even colour all over the turrets, whilst if you use shading, you add some artificial depth to them. HAve a look at this build: quite educational
  6. Just curious Mark, as it looks rather good. It will always be a matter of ones prowes and what is best suited I presume
  7. Thanks for the tip ... although, I won't be needing it for these stanchions ... these do not have holes ... they have indents ... so much easier than trying to pass the thread through the needles eye ...
  8. Fortunately I am not a master, for there wouldn't be anything left to learn. airbrush would make it a lot easier, a thinned solution would do it, even with a brush. OC (Old Collingwood) does a lot of hand painting his models, and works in layers. I can't see any reason why you can't. Airbrush, you must take care not to add to much layers as you cover it up again, whilst you only want to make an adjustment brand of your paint and the type play a role, besides the fact that curing is imperative if you work with layers
  9. Thank you for the likes and comments, gents ... soon the rigging of the railing begins ... wonder how much of that will be visible in the end ...
  10. Christmas decorations ... filling up the deck, and adding items to the rear superstructure .,.
  11. I've seen such a configuration before, can't recall if it was on MSW's tool section or the net, very nifty. The brass gives it a real sturdy touch, besides the fact that it looks nice ... you always make such nifty, appealing jigs, and tools Michael
  12. you are building a kit, you're kit bashing !!!!! now I know why it looks so gooooooood! luxury upstairs, only the necessary downstairs ... reminds me of a Tommy series ...
  13. Stevendtslag should be Stevenbeslag de Steven is the prow Real astonishing work, Kortes. How do you weld/solder the parts?
  14. nice details. Do you use silver solder on the rings, or the standard one
  15. how thick is your primer at the armour plating? If you don't want the etching to be to visible/sharp edged, could it be possible to etch, and have another layer of primer on top, or would that make the etching invisible after painting ...
