palmerit Posted April 23 Author #61 Posted April 23 The interior has you add faux timberheads. I tried to sand off the char but to get all the char off I’d have to sand these tiny parts pretty far down. So after installing, I decided I would airbrush the interior black. That meant lot of tedious application of Tamiya tape to protect the etched deck before I could paint.

Kenchington Posted April 23 #62 Posted April 23 23 minutes ago, palmerit said: faux timberheads Not necessarily "faux". English vessels of the size of Ranger but built a few decades later had stanchions separate from the top timbers of the frames -- in contrast to contemporary big-ship practice. I have never heard why. (There were cases of rails torn off by boarding seas, leaving a line of holes where the stanchions had been. Not a good thing to have happen.) Those kit pieces represent the stanchions and I'll guess that they are as accurate (in spacing and scantlings) as Chris W. could reconstruct from the available surviving information.

palmerit Posted yesterday at 09:02 PM Author #64 Posted yesterday at 09:02 PM Tried out some reds for the bottom of the hull. I think I’m going to go with 1/2 Vallejo Model Air Red 71.102 and 1/2 Vallejo Model Air German Red Briwn 71.271. The instructions use a PlastiKote Red Primer. Trying to approximate a red oxide color.

palmerit Posted 20 hours ago Author #65 Posted 20 hours ago I’ve got a bunch of touching up to do but the hull painting is getting closer to being complete. After touching up I’ll add a few coats of matte varnish, let it dry for a couple days and the wrap the hull up to prevent it from getting dinged and scratched.
