Baker Posted December 4, 2017 Share #1 Posted December 4, 2017 Does anyone know what "the white stuff" looks like when a wooden ship is in the water for a few months? Or better , could have looked.. My idea was, painting with white or cream and thereafter weathering with a wash of dilute green. Examples of what I have in mind. Since I only have experience with painting military models. I now have absolutely no idea whether this is correct or totally wrong. mtaylor and J11 2 Quote Regards, Patrick Finished : Soleil Royal Heller 1/100 Wasa Billing Boats Bounty Revell 1/110 plastic (semi scratch) Pelican / Golden Hind 1/45 scratch Current build : Mary Rose 1/50 scratch Gallery : Revell Bounty Pelican/Golden hind 1/45 scratch To do : Prins Willem Corel, Le Tonnant Corel, Yacht d'Oro Corel Shore leave, non ship models build logs : ADGZ M35 funkwagen 1/72 Einhets Pkw.

druxey Posted December 4, 2017 Share #2 Posted December 4, 2017 There is no 'correct' or 'wrong': it has to be something that you are satisfied with. mtaylor and Canute 2 Quote Be sure to sign up for an epic Nelson/Trafalgar project if you would like to see it made into a TV series http://trafalgar.tv Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Louie da fly Posted January 31, 2018 Share #4 Posted January 31, 2018 After a few months in the water it would probably be supporting a fine growth of underwater weed - particularly if (as I suppose) it's the Golden Hind sailing into tropical waters. But I don't think that would be very pleasant to look at - I agree with Druxey - do what you want to do. Steven Canute, mtaylor and Baker 3 Quote "Just a moment - just a moment.

Baker Posted January 31, 2018 Author Share #5 Posted January 31, 2018 Thanks Steven The idea that I think of : a thin layer of white paint with a light wash of green over it. So that the wood structure and treenails remain somewhat visible Like this : Work in progress ( with one thin layer of white paint) Canute, Farbror Fartyg, druxey and 3 others 6 Quote Regards, Patrick Finished : Soleil Royal Heller 1/100 Wasa Billing Boats Bounty Revell 1/110 plastic (semi scratch) Pelican / Golden Hind 1/45 scratch Current build : Mary Rose 1/50 scratch Gallery : Revell Bounty Pelican/Golden hind 1/45 scratch To do : Prins Willem Corel, Le Tonnant Corel, Yacht d'Oro Corel Shore leave, non ship models build logs : ADGZ M35 funkwagen 1/72 Einhets Pkw.
