And after a bit of a hiatus where most of my spare time was gobbled up by this monster called "reality" I finally got some time to sit down and fiddle some more today.

 

Fist I decided to add some more details to the decks, can't go without railings between the decks after all, the crew could hurt themselves.

Then I got to painting, didn't take any progress pics though, the process proved to be fairly fast at this scale.

I'm feeling quite proud of the icon at the stern, even though it doesn't look like much when the pictures are this blown up.

Here are a couple other angles:

Hi Tony

 

Wow, wow and wow! What an impact the paint job has brought to the overall effect. You must be a pretty dab hand with the paintbrush, because the individual colours stand out cleanly and crisply from one another. No blurring of the colours, there.

 

Overall, I'd have to say that my favourite shot would have to be the stern photo with the emblem. Nice stuff.

 

Cheers

 

Patrick

Today I went to the dollar store and bought something I never thought I'd buy for myself.

 

A pack of faux hair.

 

Decided that it would be better to use plastic and even coloured hair rather than my own for rigging and shrouds.

 

So, the rest of the day went towards making the rig for making shrouds and now it should be fairly straightforward to make all of them.

A test shroud to see how it works:

I need to be a bit more careful, managed to glue two horizontal hairs together on the test piece, but now I know it looks more or less to scale. Enough for a good looking effect at least!
