RGL Posted February 26, 2022 Author Share #10 Posted February 26, 2022 The hull is a pain to fix at the waterline. I’ve scribed in the hull plates and I think I’ll grunge up the lower hull below the boot strap.

RGL Posted February 27, 2022 Author Share #11 Posted February 27, 2022 The deck, dark grey base then two lighter shades to represent paint fade. Then a brown overspray to represent worn down to metal. I have a tan overspray on the wooden deck. My plan is to do some filters and some paint chips and washes. as you can see pretty much everything else is the paint cue, which will make it easy to finish. cog, popeye the sailor, lmagna and 8 others 11 Quote Greg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

liteflight Posted March 8, 2022 Share #27 Posted March 8, 2022 (edited) Thank you, YV. I am familiar with Ben’s Flower class ( via your build log) but the Castle class is new to me Looks promising , and make a fantastic model. slight snagette - I am a 3-D print virgin, but willing to learn andrew ps. An even bigger hurdle is that I am a lifelong adherent to the build methods of Glyn Guest and my preferred material is a tropical Hardwood, Ochroma Pyramidalis.
