So today from New Zealand, the Micromaster fit out part 2. Ships boats!

[RGL]

The cannons, the kit, the Flyhawk fit out, the Pontos fit out and the Micromaster 

[RGL]

You can see the 12 pounders on the cannons, this is the Micromaster replacements. There are a lot of these in the ship 

[RGL]

Next the rangefinders, anchors and some more deck hatches 

[RGL]

Search lights 

[RGL]

Back to masking 

[RGL]

Back end of the mask comes off 

[BANYAN]

Lookin' good Greg; those two tones work well together.

 

cheers

The best work never is my friend... Anyone can slap together a model, you build artwork...

[Canute]

Hat's off to you, my friend. The dazzle is dazzling. 😄

[RGL]

Starboard side done. Now the tidy up 

[RGL]

That’s the basic dazzle pattern down 

[amateur]

Wow! That is fantastic.

[RGL]

Pre chewed wooden deck down. 

[RGL]

Next is the flying deck, ten 12 pounders, a couple of search lights. The 3D guns are gun out of this world

So the first of the 3D pieces arrived today, coal scuttles, hatches, propellers, anchors, doors 

She's looking the beauty Greg and one can spend a handsome on 3D Sir.

[RGL]

So the 12 pounders for the flying deck 

[RGL]

Well that’s the flying deck done, I’ve added a few little figures for detail but you’ll never see them. 
 

 

[RGL]

Boat deck, lot of detail here 

[RGL]

Next to the boat deck, so many little pieces, but I finally got the funnels done today 

[RGL]

Dreadnoughts signal tower with the Barr & Stroud range finder. Kit piece in the foreground 

[RGL]

Now a dryfit. It all goes down IK, the tripod mast needs some work on angle yet. I want to now get into hull weathering before I progress any further. 

[RGL]

An important part, the nameplate 

[RGL]

Hull weathering starts. This is going to be I a seascape as the lower hull won’t be that important but I want to grunge up the waterline 

[RGL]

So AK Salt is really potent and near impossible to remove. So after doing the salt line I’ve over sprayed with a heavily diluted grey which makes the white wash go away. Next is a green alge spray 

[RGL]

So today hull grunge 

[RGL]

Now some rust streaks. 

[RGL]

On pause whilst I have quality beach time
