RGL Posted November 25 Author #32 Posted November 25 (edited) Ok back in the Shmel. The deck, three coats of red/Orange/dark grey then I’ll give it a good clear coat, chipping coat then lots of green coats and chip it back Edited November 25 by RGL Old Collingwood, yvesvidal, Canute and 1 other 4 Quote Greg
RGL Posted November 25 Author #33 Posted November 25 Now this is NOT my model but my concept of clear resin for this build Old Collingwood, Canute, king derelict and 3 others 6 Quote Greg
BANYAN Posted November 26 #34 Posted November 26 Love the acrylic base Greg, I will be very interested in following your efforts with this. cheers Pat mtaylor, Canute and Old Collingwood 3 Quote If at first you do not suceed, try, and then try again!Current build: HMCSS Victoria (Scratch) Next build: HMAS Vampire (3D printed resin, scratch 1:350) Built: Battle Station (Scratch) and HM Bark Endeavour 1768 (kit 1:64)
RGL Posted November 27 Author #35 Posted November 27 (edited) So green base graduation of 4 shades of green then chipping then let the masking begin. Edited November 27 by RGL king derelict, Jack12477, Canute and 3 others 6 Quote Greg
RGL Posted November 30 Author #36 Posted November 30 As things going to be ‘floating’ in resin, I want to make the hull filthy and lots of alge, some Mr surfacer and cotton wool. At 1/35 it actually seems to work!!!! Old Collingwood, Canute, mtaylor and 1 other 4 Quote Greg
RGL Posted November 30 Author #37 Posted November 30 So that’ll do for the lower hull as it will be under water (clear resin) yvesvidal, Jack12477, BANYAN and 3 others 6 Quote Greg
RGL Posted December 1 Author #38 Posted December 1 So the masking in the deck lifted even more paint (I like it), the base coat done on the upper hull, a dryfit for the sake of art.

RGL Posted December 6 Author #40 Posted December 6 Deck rusted up with pigments, dryfit of the superstructures; lots of equipment to go on deck yet as it will diffuse the starkness of it IMG_0484.mov Canute, Ryland Craze and Old Collingwood 3 Quote Greg

RGL Posted December 11 Author #42 Posted December 11 So precut Perspex pieces which I will glue into a long bucket. Then lots of poured resin Canute, yvesvidal, Javelin and 2 others 5 Quote Greg
RGL Posted December 12 Author #43 Posted December 12 (edited) This is the resin bucket! Edited December 12 by RGL yvesvidal, Ryland Craze, Javelin and 4 others 5 2 Quote Greg
yvesvidal Posted Friday at 04:00 PM #44 Posted Friday at 04:00 PM Make sure that the "bucket" is absolutely waterproof. Resin manages to find the smallest hole or crack by capillarity. It is worse than water. Yves Old Collingwood, RGL, Jack12477 and 1 other 3 1 Quote

One of my early efforts resulted in half the poured resin leaking out onto the top of the clothes dryer. Canute and RGL 1 1 Quote
Jim Lad Posted Friday at 11:52 PM #46 Posted Friday at 11:52 PM Greg, I've been silently admiring your work for some time and thought I should apologise for not posting to comment on your beautiful models. I'll try and do better in future. John Canute and RGL 1 1 Quote
