I don't know how you're supposed to be able to sand those Shipways blocks into something passable?

Azzoun reacted to LegoKing5522 in Bluenose by LegoKing5522 - Model Shipways - 1:100 - Canadian Fishing Schooner
hi guys. sorry it's been a while since my last post. I've been really busy and haven't had much time to work on my model.
I finally got around to finishing most of the rigging. and I am currently working on making sails.
there is still more rigging to do when I finish the sails, but that's all the rigging before the sails go on. the change from black to the tan lines is a little weird so I did all the Latters black to make it look like it's on purpose. I kind of like the look it gives the model a little more detail, I think.

Ever use sand sealer? Apply, sand then one more, and fine sand should get you there..

It'd be helpful if you posted photos of the kit so people can see how intact it is considering you're already disclosing damage to the product. GLWS

hey guys, so i started the rigging about 4 days ago. I was putting off doing the rigging until I was very bored. rigging kind of intimidates me. anyway, here are some photos. it's not much yet.

Who knew planking could take this long!?! I am slow. But progress none the less.

(Using pushpins as the hull starts to close up.)
And messy "tailfeathers" to trim. Hopefully we can do her stern justice.
When to do a wedge? The wood will tell you...

Taping off this funnel was interesting, I attempted it with blue painters tape and it was going horribly. The blue tape is what happened below where the zenithal highlighting overshot on to the brown linoleum decking. Of course, I taped it off and reshot that section! No.. I really did though, this time with Tamiya tape. But with the smokestack, the Tamiya tape was light enough to hang onto the small surface area of the funnel. Here’s the ship’s currently most assembled-so-far status. I’m going to have to work out painting those turret bases. Not sure how I missed painting those yet and then I was hoping the turrets would mostly cover them. They’ll have to be carefully brush painted now!

And Joshua - you should post your cannon prototypes in your build log - they would be cool to see!!

I'm excited to see your progress on this, the PDN has been a shelf queen of mine that I plan to return to soon!

I obtained the Tamiya Acrylic Flat IJN Gray paint pot equivalent to the T-69 which is…XF-77. Why couldn’t it be the same number?? I rattle can primed the subassemblies with Tamiya white primer for fine detail which does a nice job. I thought the lacquer rattle can laid paint too thick, too fast so I became determined to use a newish tool for me, the airbrush. I picked up the flag ship, Harder and Steinbeck, because part of the fun of this hobby is spending money on it. That was my victim some fateful Friday two some years ago. It is a fine tool that I have no business owning because it’s for an expert that I aspire to be. I diluted the Tamiya paint with 91% alcohol using the bottle top-off technique and it sprayed very nicely, dried quickly, and provided a very nice fine matte finish. I then attempted a zenithal technique to highlight the horizontal upward facing surfaces and got a bit carried away. The deck ended up lighter than I was hoping for but believe some weathering will tone it down. Plus, it’ll be well covered with planes at some point, a lot of the deck stays in shadow, probably want it a bit lighter? Happy Accident?

Then I focused on adding some details to the gun turrets including ladders, arial tower, and railings. The arial tower was scratch made from available brass. Using a stencil, I determined a proper shape of the base pattern, marked them in piece of wood and then drilled holes in each angle to hold the legs. Then soldered the legs together at the top, soldered the cross member and trimmed that to the proper length. Using heat sinking clamps, I then soldered the inner support trusses. I’ll admit that it’s a bit overscale in terms of leg thickness. Then I mounted all the subassemblies to holders for airbrushing.
