Why not paint your ship?
tarbrush replied to BassicBill's topic in Painting, finishing and weathering products and techniques
BassicBill, sorry about the slow response, my internet has been out since yesterday. I just went and snapped a couple of pictures of the old girl, she got knocked around pretty good on my cross country move and I have repaired her yet. shame on me. but here a couple of pics.

Why not paint your ship?
tarbrush replied to BassicBill's topic in Painting, finishing and weathering products and techniques
I built a model of a Monterey fishing boat a while ago. I loved the way they were painted but I also wanted to do a cut a way so you could see the framing and interior of the model. After wrestling with the problem a while I decided to do both. I painted one side completely. The other side was natural wood planking, painted wales and sheer strake, with a large unplanked area to view the framing and interior. It came out pretty good and was kind of fun to turn the model around from time to time to show one side or the other. -
the tracks came out awesome looking Claire!

great job on the funnel and fan decorations for the wheelhouses. Sorry you are having trouble now with the etching now. Have you tried starting over with all new chemicals?
-
you continue to amaze me Marsalv! what perfection in machining the the belfry and bitts. I love the fluted columns.

I just found your build log. Wow! this is awesome work!

hi Farbor, This is going to be the coolest diorama! I love your idea of the diorama in a box with lighting so the diorama is like a night light. I am really excited about this project. A fluyt would be awesome. For painting, I think an airbrush would be the best way to achieve the effects of silt accumulation. I recently got an Iwata Revolution airbrush and I love it, very easy to use. ok, I will be sitting on the edge of my front row seat on this one!!

Hi Brian Dave's reply above is what I was going to suggest to you. -

Brian, my brother in hating drafting, I too try to avoid the dreaded frame drafting, First can you post a photo of where you are at in construction and also a photo of your lines drawing? -
Max, you got an amazing deal on your airbrush! I have the Iwata revolution, love it! get yourself a compressor and start having fun. I just painted my first wooden hull with my airbrush and will never go back to hand brushing one. Iwata makes a great easy to use airbrush.

Wow, the model looks great on that base and the framed story of the boat with it. perfect Mario!
-
