ChrisLinden Posted March 28, 2016 Author #108 Posted March 28, 2016 (edited) Hey guys I spent the afternoon putting all canon hatches on. I've got 2 more to do and a few ropes to finish them. I also put all canons carriages on the ship, with a very simple fitting. I know its not historically correct but I did not wan't to go through the pain of adding full tackle. The build is already hard enough for me as it is. I think the canons was absolutely the most boring job so far, glad its over. I will spend the coming weeks finishing various odd jobs around the hull, cleaning up some details, paint work and re-doing the anchors to be a bit more good looking. Then I think I am ready to start on the masts and rigging... drumroll!

ChrisLinden Posted March 28, 2016 Author #109 Posted March 28, 2016 Worked on finishing various odd jobs on the back of the ship. I put the center "insignia" ornament in place. Tidied up the windows. Still working on the paint job of all the ornaments and wood. I completely repainted the green stained woods and shaded them using inks. I guess the border between what is a wooden model ship and a warhammer miniature is beginning to fade ;-) In this fashion I could even re-paint the entire ship hehe. riverboat, Seventynet, MarisStella.hr and 21 others 24 Finished: Pinta, Amati Current Build: Friesland Mamoli 1:75

I have printed out your tutorial on painting ornaments/cast metal parts. I am particularly impressed with your painting/staining method that "ages" your wood. Did you ever do a tutorial on that process? Keep up your great work. best regards J Hey J, thanks ! I have not done a tutorial on aging the wood. I simply used inks/stains to tone them. Nothing else was done afterwards. I must add that it is extremely difficult to get a consistent finish, especially on a large ship. So caution is advised if you want a cohesive look.

J T Lombard Posted March 31, 2016 #118 Posted March 31, 2016 Chris Thank you for your response. I guess I'll have to get some "ink & stain" and just practice...practice & practice some more. I don't hope to get anywhere close to your results but maybe I can get a little close. Can you at least tell me what brand of "ink & stain" you used that way I can use the same things you used. Again keep up the great work it is such an inspiration. best regards J Piet 1

Landlubber Mike Posted March 31, 2016 #120 Posted March 31, 2016 Amazing work Chris. One of the things that I think detracts from models is the contrast between finished wood and painted areas (especially, where photo etched or cast metal parts are used). You did a really great job tying all those areas together. Can I ask what you use for the white areas? I find that most white paints are still too bright, and I would like to find a way to dull it either with a wash or something similar. I've toyed with the idea of using a light diluted stain, and other options would be to try an off-white paint like ivory or cream.
