flying_dutchman2 Posted December 17, 2015 #95 Posted December 17, 2015 Excellent job. Beautiful ship (as most Dutch ships are). Am I biased???? Marcus Piet 1 Current Built: Zeehaen 1639, Dutch Fluit from Dutch explorer Abel J. Tasman Unofficial motto of the VOC: "God is good, but trade is better" Many people believe that Captain J. Cook discovered Australia in 1770. They tend to forget that Dutch mariner Willem Janszoon landed on Australia’s northern coast in 1606. Cook never even sighted the coast of Western Australia).

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, Barbossa, NMBROOK 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.
