Overall, very happy with results, now yellow is the next, but must make sure existing colours are well covered, no need for more touchups...

Happy modelling..

Great job with the tape. Very difficult to get a clean line on wood.

Thank you, yes, it is fairly a challenge but I believe primer makes all the differences..

Nice and clean.

Thank you, it took me more time to clean the airbrush and to cover the areas than actual painting but the end results are counting..

Cheers

Air brushing is always like that. YOu have to a lot of setup to do before using the airbrush, but man it makes a nice finish.

While waiting for airbrushed colour to dry, I worked on a ship boat... first I glued the mould to piece of plywood so I can extend the hight; I will be using this extra plywood to glue end of a frames to it to hold them in place. The real high of the boat is way smaller than this. After glue is dried, I cut the excess of a plywood on band saw.



First rib in place... I cut the frames planks from a left over plank, soak them in water bath for few minutes and bend them with no tools; glued with CA one end on plywood and then slowly twist around the mould until it reaches the other side. Then a drop of CA hold frame in place. Making sure the CA is only on plywood.









Then I worked on keel, which will be made of a few parts, glued together.






For a bow I need two pieces glued to get enough wood for that boat area which is slightly curved.



Mould curvature will be transferred to the keel and excess will cut/sanded to fit nicely.








The keel is wider than needed, so I will be cutting it once all is dried out. Need to shrink it and thin it as well..

Happy modelling..
