flint_sky Posted August 11, 2020 Share #1 Posted August 11, 2020 Hello folks. I'm starting today mu new model ship Le Pourquoi Pas? from Constructo. It is another unrealized child's dream. I had this model in good scale in plastic when I was a kid. And instead of doing it I just ruined it So now it is sort of revenge Will see what it will become..... ccoyle 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flint_sky Posted September 7, 2020 Author Share #7 Posted September 7, 2020 Hi! Thank you guys! Sab I use Varathane diamond wood finish water based. But honestly, I'm not completely satisfied with result on the decoration. On planks it is good but on veneer not so much. As for paint I have no idea, my wife gave me some white acrylic paint that she had... I don't like to paint wooden models (I'm not good at painting) MadDogMcQ I'm on disability at home, instead of going to work I do model ships.
