mikegr Posted August 25 Share #1 Posted August 25 These are two models of the Swedish Visby class corvette. I bought this design but had to make some modifications to print it in 1/700. Even at first attempt they printed great. Will enchance the model with PE and bit of work. I think with proper paint job will look nice on a sea base display Canute, yvesvidal, GrandpaPhil and 3 others 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikegr Posted August 30 Author Share #4 Posted August 30 Visby is the one with the single antenna on top whileH ärnösand is the other with the upgraded radar mast. After a coating of neutral grey it was to start masking for spraying the darker grey. The side grills were made with carrier fishnet cut in oval shape and glued on a black area for maximum contrast. It was the closest thing to the real that I could think of GrandpaPhil, Canute, yvesvidal and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikegr Posted September 28 Author Share #8 Posted September 28 The base. Sided were primed and painted in the same camouflage scene. Styrofoam with heavy gel on top. I used a tooth pick making parallel lines to form waves. Then applied few gesso layers to smoothen it a bit. Around where boats will be placed, I spread with my finger some gel to make a smooth surface. Then sprayed blue. Then Tamiya clear blue. Then some white preshading. Ready for boat instalments and final work. GrandpaPhil, king derelict, Canute and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikegr Posted September 29 Author Share #9 Posted September 29 (edited) I procced in the same way as usual. Only difference this time I extended the use of silicone to all white areas to avoid the "dry" looking of my previous themes. The whole thing was covered with 2 ingredient varnish like these used on automobile industry. Then i decided to add smoke as a final touch Small built but with noticeable effect Edited September 29 by mikegr AJohnson, GrandpaPhil, mtaylor and 2 others 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
