AH but you can't bring your own consumptions, you have to buy them from me. I need to have some source of income to pay for these builds!!!! Dilution 50% + probably 60% -
As you can see, I have darker versus lighter stripes, that is to accentuate the panels, I'll need to do the verticals too, but it will be a pain to realise. Since I will do a camouflage, that will hardly be visible at all on this ship. The pin stripes give a dark and lighter undertone to the layers which will be sprayed on top, as those will be done as a very diluted mixture, which will add to the realism of the ship. Koppalakki does it rather crude in the beginning, quite large, but after his first paint layer he adds oil canning at a smaller size This one will be lightly weathered, and the accent on the camouflage I'd thought you to be in the front row, instead of the "cheap seats" ... no price tags on chairs here ... first come first choice, no reservations but for chairs already occupied for the one occupying it

I'l do my own upgrade as you can see ... a few more things like this, as Trumper is not really taking care of it's used designs ... thnaks for the information though, I'll certainly have a look. Primary seat was just taken by Greg, Jack ... you need to be sharp with us plastic modellers, but you still have a generous pick of seats I would say ( bleechers )

She got her nose job done whilst I was working on the G-class, since Trumper has an error in it's Tribal class hull form at the bow 1: Previous unaltered build, 2: Current build The last three as she is now ... ready for the base colours, and I'm working on deck structures

A sister to my previous G-class, build from the same box, with a few adjustments to hull and deckstructures. I'll be using some 3D printed parts to replace the original kit ones as well. The box ... not so much different as the other, both derivates from Trumper's Eskimo kit ... (just print another box's cover and you're done ) Colour scheme will be either Athabaskan or Iroquois

Thank you Steven, not half as brilliant as your dromond with it's rubber "yard garters". Much appreciated though. Glad to have been of service. Maybe I will try my hand at a diorama in 1/700 from her final heroic moments, that would be a real challenge ... first a few more 1/350 builds, and then I would like to start on the Arno XI, it has been boxed far to long

Can't say she isn't waterproof on top ...

You could bring her over, and take some shots here near the pond ... currently we have dry periods with infrequent short moments of percipitation ... besides that, I can see her "in the wood" ...

Dan, I've enjoyed your build tremendously (still do), mostly catching up, so a some what late response. In my plastic builds, I came across 3D printed parts at 1/350 and even smaller highly detailed, which could be a solution to your dilemma of the blocks, maybe even other miniscule items ...

I would suggest a trolley, or get your trailer in and pull her out

She already was looking like a fine vessel, Steven. She's getting finer, and finer looking though. For head room ... it depends on the entrance/exit points of the oars, compared to the relative hight of men during that time, which was something like a smallish Italian I would gether - taking the region in consideration to - and luxury was not an issue, only the captain had that if there was any aboard ...
-
Smashing, mate. I especially like the blue in the camouflage, makes her come a live, not just another dull grey beast on a picture. I see you whipped out your 3mm drill bit, stanchions and thread ... must be thrilled to bits when that comes up.

Not to shabby vossy. You might get her in some daylight with a somewhat more uniform colour background. That would improve your image considerably ... She looks pritty, so far a job well done. Fortunately we are our own worst critics ...which keeps us on our toes

Thanks Lou, I hope you don't mind to much what I did to her ... Now I need to learn how to finish her when painting by hand, OC, thank you Good to have you at the finish though, Jason, glad you like her in her battered state Ken, much appreciated, I am curious as to how you will fair with the SMS Seydlitz ... That's a lot of praise from our creative source ... next depends I can start on HMCS Huron, or transform that kit to HMCS Athabaskan (I like her camouflage better). However, there are some changes to be made to her furniture, which, after this, shouldn't be to much of a problem, and there is the 3' monster to continue with ... we'll see. First cleaning the deck, I had to much lazy sailors aboard for cleaning

oldfashioned is the word I think ... but I would go for historical I would go for the B&W not the sepia, it looses to much detail
