I think the weathering/highlights look just fine.A story I was painting a Ki-45 Nick 1/48 pale green/darker blotches with the dark blotches done by brush.I did 1/2 of the plane about 1 1/2 hrs of work put it down and came back later the next day actually.I started repainting and crap the blotches were turning out different and the pattern was off??It's all a creative process and one cannot always tap the mood from the day before it was the 2nd time this occurred now I paint in one sitting.Keep that in mind and the formula you used if you walk away keep the paint with the kit. Kevin I know this from a long ways back but just something I have learned.Now back to pg6 got lots of catching up.

Scott what an outstanding build you have got going here still got pages to look at but work in my shop beckons.I want to share with you a build a fella is doing of the Eugen in doc/dio and plant a seed for lights maybe on Big Mo if you go down that path.This is his build log https://www.modelforum.cz/viewtopic.php?f=171&t=123675 and if I may a pic and weathering is spot on Kevin

If you notice Kopp is "black basing" with the airbrush for shadow effects(even 1/350 ) to give depth/character to the individual pieces which I have never consider for ships?I have used the technique on some 1/32 A/C mainly a B25.We all could learn a bit from Kopp. As to the glue I have and recommend the Gator glue http://www.gatorsmask.com/paintmask.html and you will notice he has mask for ships!I thought at one point he did some paints but he's good to deal with.If you think you may want to continue in the plastic medium and PE I P/U from http://www.radubstore.com/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=77_79 some of the folders I have used abit on the B-25 but will come in handy when I get back to the Eugen.A destroyer is a good learning curve to work with.

That Seriously is some Nice Work!I usually look at photo builds sometimes quickly but your's slowed me down to a study mode Kevin

Well I think most of the guys would say seize it will look more professional but d#@* if that would be a bit of work and good system for repetition/tools needed.I am thinking off the bat a small board @45' angle with small holes drilled(2) in it(smaller than deadeyes shaft) good lighting tweezers and tightbond(diluted) for the seize string.Just my first thoughts have not done seizes before if I did it was years ago. Kevin Oh hey that long shot of the deck looks bad ***

Still debating whether to attempt weathering the whole ship or going with a clean "museum style" build... what do you guys think would be better? Stay clean those decks are just to nice.
-
Like the looks of the ship along with the colors kinda of reminds me of WWI German A/C colorful.The shop looks good to But abit to clean I try with mine but it's a cluster. The office area/modeling room is 7X16 and the wood shop is 22X16 not big enough they never are. Kevin

Liking the touches !What about the red ladder something they used for fire control?Also how did you determine to paint the front railing lines black on the bow area but others are not? Kevin

I think she is coming out quite Nice after the retouches.The complaints about acrylics may be founded but I use alcohol if I think the model has gotten dirty from oils/sanding dries in minutes and sterile screw the gloves experience but I do use enamels.Acrylics if you do not clean your gun quickly will harden up fast. I have left mine with paint in it and came back hours later and it cleaned just fine with enamels.Milk! that's the consistency of your mix and I spray alot at from 10-20psi when doing small parts and small areas just to control the spray using a Badger Renegade Airbrush and use higher pressure for bigger areas.I hope that helps and yes I know of guys who use higher pressure than 30psi with acrylics and do beautiful work gun/talent/years.Keep at it it has the looks of a good build coming about Kevin

That's just what I was thinking this guy Popeye(aka Dennis) has way to much time on his hands and he's getting better by the day for it! Dennis I like how anything that floats has your undivided attention Kevin

Ron that is an interesting boat you have going there and I like how you are using the computer to help solve some issues.I have to agree a single action brush usually can cover more area than alot of the duels since they are setup for fine painting.I just in the last year damaged my Badger 150 after 20years of diligent work still have the Badger Renegade.keep up the good work I have you set to "Notify" Kevin

Excellent Build!! I went through it and yes I like the new phone could see the shading much easier and so subtle I am with you less is better in most cases.The info about the shading and the layers I started thinking I had seen some of your work on another site ya'll live in the same neck of the woods though I think he is in Norway(?) Fantastic Job!! Kevin

One of the Mod as about another project on the side I have or thought about 50% probably more like 30-35% the Eugen.I thought I drop a few of my other WWII ships while I was there in the cabinet.

A small update is in order.I have been playing with the mast of late and experimenting with and enamel base then using a mixture of of a not quite golden brown and umber in oils to simulate the wood effect.The next step is to go over the oils with a clear acrylic clear mixture of red and yellow thinned and airbrushed on to your taste the pictures do not do it justice but they do look a bit like wood.The bowsprit just came out to dark but I leaving it as such since all pieces did not come from the same tree or type I would think.The rings on the mast were all taped off ( @#% ) and painted with MM Metalizer Gun color and sealed with a clear.
