    Added ropes to the mast to see how it would look, unsure if these ropes would be tarred and should be black and what the function actually was? (coffee dyed string, the thickest of the two string coils provided in the kit)

    Intend to put multiple washes over the bright colours.

    Still unsure what colour to do the windows, I like the idea of blue, to seem like they are reflecting the sky, but it looked very unateral, so went for grey.

    Sounds like good advice thank you, much appreciated.

    Then stated to add plank lines with a 0.5 fine liner pen and more wash.

    Added a white wash to the deck as I wanted to start to build up a really worn weathered look to the boards.
  10. bosco72
    Started to add green wash in small areas sap green acrylic, 25/75 water.

    Tea for the thread was too light, or I used the wrong tea, so used two spoons of instant coffee over night and got that desired effect, top left of the image.

    using magnifying glasses to try and paint the hinges on doors, it was interesting.

    Putting the string/thread in tea, trying to age it.

    Stared on the colours, at this point I'm still not sure which colours I was going to go with and was still deciding if I was going do all the strips of colours.
  17. bosco72
    The lighting makes it look orange/red than it actually is.
  18. bosco72
    More black wash 5/95 water. Also you can see the deck part is twisted, it came that way.

    Started to add a black wash, lamp black acrylic 5/95 water, did not remove, let it dry on.
  22. bosco72
    Did a light coat of burnt umber acrylic, 25/75 water.
  23. bosco72
    Did a couple of coats, no water.
  24. bosco72
    At this point had no idea, if I'd got the correct paint, how it would react to plastic.
  25. bosco72
    My thoughts were to stay close to the box art as it looked way more fun that the two replicas I had looked at.

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.
