scrubbyj427 Posted October 1, 2022 Share #33 Posted October 1, 2022 Just outstanding work! I love the blackening/wearing process you use. How do you achieve those results so well?

MICHELE PADOAN Posted October 1, 2022 Author Share #34 Posted October 1, 2022 (edited) 4 ore fa, scrubbyj427 ha detto: Semplicemente un lavoro eccezionale! Adoro il processo di annerimento/usura che usi. Come si sono questi risultati così bene? JJ In primo luogo, come primo passaggio, va applicato un leggero strato di gommalacca, che fungerà da isolante tra il legno e il bitume. Si esatto perchè il bitume dato direttamente sul legno, lo annerisce brutalmente. A gommalacca asciutta si procede con la seconda mano di bitume diluito in cera. Devi ottenere una consistenza con cui puoi lavorare e che non si asciughi troppo rapidamente. La cera va stesa e poi rimossa la cera in eccesso, avendo cura di entrare nei piccoli dettagli. Uso spazzole morbide e tamponi piccoli per poter entrare dove è impossibile con un solo tampone. Non è facile, di certo ci vogliono prima tentativi ed errori come ho fatto io, e solo dopo diversi tentativi puoi decidere come procedere. Dovrete limitarvi ad una passata, perché anche una seconda mano, seppur leggera di bitume, scurirà non poco il legno.

mtaylor Posted October 2, 2022 Share #35 Posted October 2, 2022 Translation to English of Michele's response to Scrubbyj427: First, as a first step, a light layer of shellac should be applied, which will act as an insulator between the wood and the bitumen. Yes, exactly because the bitumen given directly to the wood brutally blackens it. When shellac is dry, proceed with the second coat of bitumen diluted in wax. You need to get a consistency that you can work with and that doesn't dry out too quickly. The wax should be spread and then removed the excess wax, taking care to go into the small details. I use soft brushes and small pads to be able to enter where it is impossible with a single pad. It is not easy, of course it takes trial and error first as I did, and only after several attempts can you decide how to proceed. You will have to limit yourself to one coat, because even a second coat, albeit light of bitumen, will darken the wood considerably. bruce d, albert, scrubbyj427 and 1 other 3 1 Quote Mark "The shipwright is slow, but the wood is patient." - me Current Build: Past Builds: La Belle Poule 1765 - French Frigate from ANCRE plans - ON HOLD Triton Cross-Section NRG Hallf Hull Planking Kit HMS Sphinx 1775 - Vanguard Models - 1:64 Non-Ship Model: On hold, maybe forever: CH-53 Sikorsky - 1:48 - Revell - Completed Licorne - 1755 from Hahn Plans (Scratch) Version 2.0 (Abandoned) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
