Geowolf Posted June 23, 2020 #151 Posted June 23, 2020 the finish of the copper layer are awesome! do you plan to fix the corrosion & paint with a varnish or something like this? i'm using varnish overall, it's more easy to clean the dust. I'm suffering seeing your model with some years, if it's not sealed in a glass box... great photos, regards! Quote

What material did you use in them to achieve that?

ErnieL Posted June 24, 2020 #154 Posted June 24, 2020 This is MY kind of build! As a long time plastic aircraft modeler, I absolutely understand the need to weather for realism or artistic effect. Most wooden ship models I’ve seen have been built to reflect a ship in tip top condition, which may not always have been reality. I, for one, am absolutely loving what I’m seeing here. It’s definitely seen hard use and is due for some dry dock time, but that’s what I absolutely LOVE! Keep it up, sir, this is incredible!

Ernie Plastic community has fully embrassed weathering, maybe deep down I'm a plastic modeler Jokes aside it's funny how things turn out, I started with planes, but there wasn't enough challenge on the assembly, and the final result depended too much from the painting, and I hated painting, tried cars and tanks, same problem, the tried a plastic ship, the assembly was satisfying, but still the damn painting, so clearly running away from painting I went on wooden ship, that didn't need painting And now 20 years later, here I am, painting wodden ships and weathering them Anyway, decided to change the anchors and started the boats coxswain, ErnieL and marktiedens 3 Quote
