HMS Winchelsea by Greg M - 1/48 scale

[Greg M]

Thanks Frank and everyone for the likes.  I think you nailed it on the head that the prints on the galleries have a bit more green than the ones on the back.  I'm taking the approach that the color behind the columns should be consistent and something that will complement the differences of the friezes without trying too hard to match either one.  I think I've found a color that works well, but I'm still going to take a day or two to sit on it and move onto the roof and moulding above the windows.

 

I'm going to test edge bending the boxwood moulding above the windows and hope it responds the same way as cedar.  The thinner mouldings worked well with brute force, but that extra 1/64" adds enough rigidity to make me think it will break if I get too aggressive.

 

Edit: turns out it wasn't so much edge bending as application of heat and  a bit of twisting.  Regardless, I was impressed with how easy the boxwood bent with the application of heat.
