Victorian Steam Launch by Cap'n Rat Fink - FINISHED - Constructo - 1/26 - kit-bashed to the WINDERMERE


Recommended Posts

Hey Tarbrush,

      It's our annual trip to the Carlsbad, Ca. Beach. It's by San Diego. We live in a desert so 30 degrees cooler makes for a nice visit. Plus we will be going to check out the on going building of the replica of the San Salvador Galleon.

Thank You all...

oh I love Carlsbad!  I used to take my boys there boggy boarding every year when we lived in Calif.

 

Hope you have a great vacation and take lots of pictures of San Salvador.  I've been thinking of making a trip back there when to see her when they launch her.  I'll be interested to hear about your trip when you get back.

John

oh the engine is coming out beautiful!  how did you achieve the diamond plate finish on the copper?  Enclosing under the seat is definitely  more classy.

Nice details.  The more you add the better it looks.  The book and glasses.  Is there a drink to go with them?

Mario that engine is just amazing!  How long did it take you to build just that part?   I love all the extra details you have put in like the candle lantern.  Your paint job on the stack is so good, it really looks like it has seen a lot of heat.  How did you do your painting of it?

glad you are back from vacation. :)

Hi John and Thank You.

 

I used Humbrol Metal Cote. You can see it on page 3 of the log. You brush it on then wait about 10 minute for it to dry. I usually wait 30 minute to an hour instead. But it does dry in 10. Once dry you take an old cotton cloth something an old t-shirt and then just rub it out, and there is your finish. It's neat little stuff

Thank You all...

Mario,

 

I also wanted to build a steam launch, but now I've changed my mind.  How could I possibly come close to  matching your beautiful detail work.
