Hi Sjors your project is coming along very nicely. Sorry have not been by, just having a time trying to get use to 2.0, but the learning curve is getting better...

Thank You all...

Beside all the fun we have there is also building time.

 

So I work on the bow.

I have to see if I can make some decals for the side.

I try it with paint but that was looking bad…...

So paint it black again.

I'm also not happy with the gratings but for now it has to be it this way.

When I make all the gratings I have to see what I have left and then change it.

Then of course a few pictures.

Sjors, luckily next to chatting you found some time to build  ;) .

Nice progress again.

If you're not satisfied with the gratings, replace them before continueing with the bowsprit.

Cheers,
Wim

Splendid work Sjors, those head rails can be really tricky to work on, and you've done and excellent job on them :) 

 

I'm going really slow on my ship, just to postpone working in this tricky portion :P

Sjors,

 

Nice work on the head. If you're not happy with the gratings, then re-do them now, before you add any more detail - it'll only be more difficult to do later on.

 

Oh, and I prefer your avatar with your bus!

That head area has a lot of detail.  And the head rails are very impressive.

 

As previously suggested, now would be a good time to make any changes to the gratings.  It's really going to get 'busy' up there when the bowsprit comes in.

 

Well done, my friend.

Hi all and thanks ,

 

@ Wim, I re-place the gratings before the bowsprit goes on it.

 

@Aldo,

 

It was really tricky to get those head rails on.

I said a few words like #^%$@&(*%^$#

But they are on now.

Don't rush with Peggy, she comes together!

 

@ Patrick,

 

I'll do my best…..

 

@ Grant,

 

I re-place the gratings but first I have to see how many are left when I have done the other gratings.

Before I go further on the bow, it will be done.

And for you I change the avatar.

I see that you can use the animaatjes?

Lovely bus  :)

Glad that I can make you happy with a bus Augie 

 

@ Garward,

 

Thanks for dropping in.

 

I want to put decals on the side of the head rails.

I try to paint it with a gold colour but it looks if I'm drunk…...

I have to ask Popeye what he is using for his decals.

Recipe simple: if you want to receive good coloring on model, don't apply glossy and semi-glossy paints and varnishes  :) .

Best regards,

Garward

If I understand you right then it was not a good idea to put varnish on the paint…..

Even it is clear varnish…….

It is better to paint it again with matt black paint?

 

Sjors

The varnish can be used and many modellers use it, but a varnish matt or semi-matt. Shine of a glossy varnish can be reduced a little, having slightly ground a surface a fine-grained emery paper and to wipe then a surface fabric.

Best regards,

Garward

Sir -

 

She is looking sharp, Sjors.  I like the head rails as well.  Have your thought about using styrene for the trim (does it need to stick out) or is it just decoration (painted/decals)?

 

Have a great day!

Wayne

Hi Wayne,

 

And Sir ???????

 

Thanks for the good words  :)

 

Styrene…I'll never thought of it …….and don't know what that is  :wacko:

It may stick out a little.

That's no problem.

Sir - (you do out rank me, you know!) -

 

See the scroll work thatBob has done on his Constitution is one good example of working with Styrene.  See http://modelshipworld.com/index.php?/topic/423-uss-constitution-by-bob-riddoch-model-shipways-scale-176/page-3

Styrene is a plastic, it is better to make a decor of a brass wire or a thin foil.

Garward

Sjors,

 

If you cannot find what you need, then try Harold's (Burgemeester van Walsumweg). They have all kind of foils for decoration, art works and modeling.

Look at this link: http://www.harolds.nl/p/papier/plakplastic/metallic

 

Have a nice day

John
