Dimitris71 Posted October 16, 2015 Author #271 Posted October 16, 2015 I came upon your build and admire what you have done so far. After this the Royal Caroline will be a snap. Just an Idea. If you want to use pear for the second planking just fill in between the bulkheads and make it a solid hull then use the pear. Keep up the good work. David B Hello David, welcome aboard. Thank you for the kind words and also for the tip about the pear.. :) Regards Dimitris Omega1234 1 Quote Current Build: Amerigo Vespucci -Mantua- 1:100 scale Completed Build logs: Bluenose II AL 1:75 scale Gallery: Bluenose II AL 1:75 scale Future Build: Royal Caroline -Panart- 1:47 scale
Dimitris71 Posted October 16, 2015 Author #272 Posted October 16, 2015 Hi Dimitris, Great to see the deck furniture starting to be added. I always really enjoying watching this part of every build...seems to make the model come to life. Congrats on your Royal Caroline as well! Cheers, Nigel.

Omega1234 Posted October 17, 2015 #273 Posted October 17, 2015 (edited) Hi Dimitris Just caught up with your wonderful AV and it's really impressive just how good she's looking. I also agree with Nigel (Upstate NY) because it is always nice to see the ship's furniture having such an impact upon the overall appearance of the ship. The deck, also, adds heaps of value as well - nice and clean work. I was also pleased to see that the Royal Caroline is your next build. I reckon you'll ace it!

Dimitris71 Posted October 19, 2015 Author #295 Posted October 19, 2015 I have never used that brand how is it to work with? David B When i use it with an airbrush it needs thining with the 71.361 thinner (model air series). On the other hand, the model color series is made for brushes and there is no need to use thinner(distilled water)..It is very easy to use .. This my first time painting so many items with a brush and i'm quite happy about it. Note that these are acrylic paints. They have a very good result without having to breathe dangerous chemicals (I have two kids at home) . The vallejo Primer comes in three colors i think, Grey , black and white (see my post here No 86). Also the Vallejo Premium Series has a fantastic matt varnish, code 62.062. This varnish is also used for protecting helmets against scratches.The bluenose was my first kit, i painted it 6-7 times before I came to understand how the airbrush works ,you know...lol , the thining, pressure and distance,overspray etc... :angry:. I truly hope you'll find this info helpful.. Feel free to ask anything you might need.
