cog Posted October 22, 2017 Author Share #336 Posted October 22, 2017 (edited) How life takes ... rips away time ... last update nearly three weeks ago Yesterday more garden chores ... but today it's raining - or as Mark (MTaylor) says, time for the workshop - and I pulled out the airbrush again. Nothing fancy, just trying my hand on shading, but my finger was somewhat trigger happy from time to time The single and tripple AA have a black primer, they'll get first a coat of medium grey, and some light highlights - see how that will work out.

cog Posted May 13, 2018 Author Share #356 Posted May 13, 2018 (edited) How quickly time passes ... even if you're not having fun! Finally I got some time at the "bench". Had some restorative work on the hull, finished the decks, front and rear, as far as possible to be painted. Masked the decks, partly with tape, partly with an extra wooden deck I won't be using. Dragged the monster to my spray booth for priming. Hope to do some shading this week, but that depends on the boss, and the additional freelance work I got presently. Please, don't mind the very poor quality of the images. I'll try to get some better quality shots tomorrow if the weather cooperates ... Decks have not yet been glued down. First shading on the bit of super structure fixed to the deck, then the hull. Haven't decided yet if I'll get the colour (grey ... very colourful) on first before I mount the decks to the hull or after. The main problem will be putting on the wooden deck if everything is attached. So some minor headaches before I'll be ready with that ...
