Ahoy dear model building friends.

Fantastic job on this, it’s certainly a labour intensive model, great to see others solutions to this model. 🤛👍

 

Thank you Jeff.
With my approach to the model, painting it actually takes a lot of time. I'll save myself this time if I filter out lots of tips and solutions in your construction report. 
😉

 

I don't have much time to build models at the moment, but progress is still going slowly.
I have finished aging the hull for now and turned a new ship into an old veteran.

I particularly aged the anchor hawse and the area below the anchor berths, as a lot of dirt is likely to accumulate here.

And port side.

The chipping is also strongest here, as the anchors are likely to leave clear marks.

Amidships I aged more subtly.

And a little more at the rear.

The painting of the fuselage only continues when the missing parts are attached to the outside, i.e. pretty much at the end.

The wooden deck was also glazed and applied.

Now I can start equipping the deck, which I’m looking forward to.

Hallo, Joelle.

 

Happily, I read German, but most of our members don't. Please post in English. I followed your Millennium Falcon build, so I know you can do it! 😉

 

Thanks!

It probably happened to me because I post in German and English forums.

 

And I know from experience how difficult it can be to post in foreign language forums (I used to post regularly in one of the German card modeling forums), so I really appreciate the effort you make to share your work here.
