Bugra Posted January 17, 2014 #2 Posted January 17, 2014 Hey there ! Actually I don't know anything about Plastic Modelling but I'm sure this will be interesting. I'll follow your log and of course, good luck with your first build. Cheers, Bugra. There is nothing that a little sanding can't solve.. Bugra. Current Builds : H.M.S.

kungfupanda Posted January 21, 2014 Author #3 Posted January 21, 2014 Today came the colors, and then everything is ready! Tomorrow it starts!
ScottRC Posted January 21, 2014 #4 Posted January 21, 2014 Good kit to start out on. I notice you are using Tamiya paints, which are very good. Do you have their "Mr. Surfacer" primer? I would suggest washing all the parts in a warm water with a mild detergent, then once dry, giving everything a light coat of primer and you will find your model will be much easier to paint.

CaptainSteve Posted January 25, 2014 #14 Posted January 25, 2014 Beautiful paint job !!! One tiny thing ... can you get any thread that is thinner than what you are using for your rat-lines ??

kungfupanda Posted January 25, 2014 Author #15 Posted January 25, 2014 Should I use a thinner wire? I have to see if I find one that is half These are the unmount then ... thanks CaptainSteve 1
kungfupanda Posted January 29, 2014 Author #16 Posted January 29, 2014 (edited) redone with a little more thin I have a doubt about the direction in which you must mount the flagpole ... can you help? or Edited January 29, 2014 by kungfupanda CaptainSteve 1
ScottRC Posted January 29, 2014 #17 Posted January 29, 2014 A+ Work on the build. Ratlines are looking good. What exactly are you asking, is it the yard orientation? The pictures are rather dark.

kungfupanda Posted January 29, 2014 Author #18 Posted January 29, 2014 (edited) yes, orintation of yard i have change images sorry, but my english is google translator Edited January 29, 2014 by kungfupanda
kungfupanda Posted February 12, 2014 Author #19 Posted February 12, 2014 now missing sails and rigging obviously sails of cloth
Kimberley Posted March 1, 2014 #21 Posted March 1, 2014 (edited) Wow! You ship looks great. I am working on the same ship. I keep trying to get my white stripe on the hull to where I am happy with it. That has been the toughest part for me so far. Right now I am working on my masts and the cannons on the deck. I am using the plastic ratlines. Your ratlines look great . I like how you painted the bottom part of your cannons. This was the first ship I did, and I am now redoing it because I didn't paint or do a lot of other things on my first one. I just wanted to get the feel of putting things together. My biggest problem is the rigging on these ships. I am still trying to learn how to tie the knots and get the thread tight. Kim Edited March 1, 2014 by Kimberley
ScottRC Posted March 1, 2014 #22 Posted March 1, 2014 Yards and masts look great. Also those ratlines.
