NAZGÛL Posted July 7, 2013 Author Share #156 Posted July 7, 2013 Hey all, went to the museum yesterday, and took some more pics. Galleries and the small windows plus some details first then some pics for Michael. Sorry for the poor quality on the last one as it is really dark at that area, but Michael you can see where the hole is. /Matti Salty Sea Dog, mtaylor and canoe21 3 Quote Billing Boats Vasa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
md1400cs Posted July 7, 2013 Share #157 Posted July 7, 2013 Matti, Great pics. These will also help me. Especially the Large drain on the side of the hull, rope pulley frame just above the chainplate brace for the poop deck mast. I see the deck drain hole. It is a bit above the deck edge side trim (:-) I'm happy that you are feeling better.

This time they opened the door while I was in line to get in. It felt almost surreal to stand outside and see her. I had my family with me this time, and its fascinating to see the impact she has on kids. /Matti Salty Sea Dog and canoe21 2 Quote Billing Boats Vasa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DesertWolf Posted July 9, 2013 Share #162 Posted July 9, 2013 Matti Your paint technique is so perfect that I nearly thought the museum pictures were more photos of your build! (taken with a broken flash of course). One day you must take the time to describe your process in more detail to our mere mortals.

normanh Posted July 9, 2013 Share #163 Posted July 9, 2013 Strange as it may seem I was there last Monday on the 1st July and yet to sort the pictures out, she makes a great model subject, a ship I have admired for for over 50 years since I heard about her story.

NAZGÛL Posted July 10, 2013 Author Share #164 Posted July 10, 2013 (edited) Wolf, thanks for the very kind words! Mixing the stain to a nice shade was a bit tricky. Try it on spare planks before starting anything. Once its applied, I use acrylics and pastels for different shades. Light sanding between layers makes them merge. Airbrush a light coat of varnish to bound the pastels once in a while. A lot of washes in different shades of brown. I mix all my colors trying to get control. Norman, yeah I strenghtened the area, and it seems fine. Visiting the museum is very inspirational. I went to the doctor as I turned ill again, and it turns out I do have pneumonia. Now I got antibiothics, so hopefully Ill get better now. It would have been better if the nurse I talked to the first time would have let me come in for a check. /Matti Edited July 10, 2013 by NAZGÛL DesertWolf 1 Quote Billing Boats Vasa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DesertWolf Posted July 10, 2013 Share #169 Posted July 10, 2013 Hope you get well soon Matti. Thanks for the description of your painting technique. Airbrushing a light coat of varnish to bound the pastels is a great tip! I would have thought that it will mess with the pastel washes applied afterwards.

NAZGÛL Posted July 10, 2013 Author Share #170 Posted July 10, 2013 (edited) Thanks Wolf! The varnish makes it slightly darker, so take it into consideration. I use acrylic washes, oil works well too, but Im used to acrylics. The pastels are hard crayons turned to dust, just use and mix the colors you like. Then apply with a cotton bud or brush. Pastel dust must be bound with a coat of varnish, before doing the next steps. /Matti Edited July 10, 2013 by NAZGÛL Quote Billing Boats Vasa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NAZGÛL Posted July 11, 2013 Author Share #172 Posted July 11, 2013 Thank you Lawrence and Mark! Lawrence, For my style, acrylics works best, and I love to not have any fumes with small kids around. I like how easy it is to blend and mix, and the ease to wash the air brush and brushes. I also get a good matt finish. I can also use my fingers to "smudge" dirt realistically, and just go and wash my hands before I continue.. Like you I would look at solvent based stuff if I wanted a gloss result, at least a solvent based varnish to finish it off with. There are many great tutorial films on youtube if you search for oilwash, filters, model weathering, acrylic washes. /Matti Quote Billing Boats Vasa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NAZGÛL Posted July 11, 2013 Author Share #173 Posted July 11, 2013 Yay, finally I could do some work today. I glued the top wale/list. Also cut out one of the small windows from kajutan, and the rearest smaller gunport, and also my favourite: the message port located near the waterline. This is done on both sides.

I wish I could give all my builds such a realistic weathered look. Absolutely brilliant! Time for me to go and braai (barbeque) as well.

NAZGÛL Posted July 13, 2013 Author Share #179 Posted July 13, 2013 (edited) Cheers, Lawrence and Wolf, your kind comments are most apreciated! Enjoy your bbq, wolf. I wasnt entirely happy with the red I blended earlier and started to make a new one. The old one had to much brown in it and didnt go right with the tarred brown hull. The new nuance is warmer and while the new red isi close to the first one, its more vibrant. I repainted some of the redpainted areas, but I think it will be interesting to have some of the old red left. Like I said its very close, but Im getting more of the "blood" effect Im after with this. /Matti Edited July 13, 2013 by NAZGÛL Quote Billing Boats Vasa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NAZGÛL Posted July 14, 2013 Author Share #180 Posted July 14, 2013 Yeah, its important to get it how you want it, and difficult to know how colors will blend as the build evolvs. Against light wood, the first nuance lookes different. Here is how it looks now. Its more blood red in real life. Painted the planks a little different from each other to give the paintjob life and scale. /Matti Ferit, DesertWolf, Salty Sea Dog and 2 others 5 Quote Billing Boats Vasa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
