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 mtaylor, yvesvidal, Old Collingwood 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 Canute, mtaylor 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 Canute, Old Collingwood, BANYAN 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, yvesvidal, Canute 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, Old Collingwood 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, Old Collingwood, yvesvidal 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 Old Collingwood, Canute, Ryland Craze and 4 others 5 2 Quote Greg
yvesvidal Posted December 13 #44 Posted December 13 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 RGL, Canute, 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. RGL and Canute 1 1 Quote
Jim Lad Posted December 13 #46 Posted December 13 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
