And prepared masts for painting

Masking this ship was a true challenge  hopefully everything will turn out alright!

Prepared my spray “booth” and started spraying. Revel aqual color looks really great on wood when sprayed through the airbrush. Wood texture remains very visible and no “plastic” effect. 
 

Also I love these black details on the ship!

Pedestal is a bit too wide for the ship keel. Will have to figure out how to mount it properly…

 

Just add a piece of shim to one or both sides of the keel.

I have prepared ship for bulwarks painting… but after testing the red that I have bought it turns out it is way too bright. I have ordered a new more suitable (hopefully) Revel aqua color 37 reddish brown. If this will not look good enough I will be mixing my own.

In the meantime I have airbrushed some small parts in black.

 

Unfortunately I have some difficulties painting MDF in black. For some reason it is very hard for me to get the finish I desire with this mdf base plate. I will try sanding it and painting again, maybe will try some wood putty too. Just very hard to get even finish with it.
