king derelict Posted April 18, 2022 Author Share #121 Posted April 18, 2022 I used acrylic paint to add the wake and the bow waves and occasional white cap. In the background I removed the Wasp from the build base. The heavy duty double sided tape was great for holding teh ship firmly to the base but separating them was a bit scary. Steady gentle pressure got the tape peeled back. In future I'll used smaller pieces A coat of gloss medium was then added to give depth and bring it to life The big moment - a trial placement of the ship I need to add a bit of disturbed water at the waterline and some more foam in teh wake and I think I will call it finished Thanks for looking Alan Landlubber Mike, Old Collingwood, mtaylor and 7 others 8 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
king derelict Posted April 20, 2022 Author Share #122 Posted April 20, 2022 I used the Vallejo foam effect to add some 3 dimension to the wakes and wave caps. I'm a bit disappointed in it - it just seems like thick white paint. It does set very white though. I could have spent a bit more time fiddling with the water line but I was starting to knock the PE off and decided enough was enough. The model has been placed and after taking photos the display case is in place. Nothing left but the proud parent photos. Many Thanks for all the comments and likes. This has been a great adventure for me probably the hardest model I have attempted and I have enjoyed the whole build. Still lots of areas to improve on but its still a fun journey.

The Eduard PE really makes it a better model. Next - I want to progress the Flower corvette but that will depend on how much sense I get out of the printer trying to achieve decent deck fittings and weapons.
