Good day John,
One of the option, making this triangle decor, to use sharp fine blade making borders of this triangle, than slowly to fill in area of this fine cutted borders with liquid paint in several strokes...You need fine brush for this...and first try this technique on some other area not on the model.. I did it on my model and it works well...maybe slowly,but gives very fine and clear borders between different colors on the flat surface...
But You need to cutt this fine triangle cutt very accuratelly and very fine almost non visiable, but only for cappilar effect which gives You sharp and fine border between two different colors...

)) why You did clouds green on the stern shield?
And You should give Elizabeth I reign coat of arms symbols in priority of FD coat of arms on the stern shield , this black and white shield...I think it was given by El I to FD, knighted, after this famous voyage... than shouldn' t be here yet, but I could mistake ... if You have time and interest in historic background, You could" vent" this question, what simbols could be seen on the GH stern shield?

Ah...I did not see them as clouds! I thought they were trees...on either side of the view! They would have to be cumulus clouds given the shape and I didn;t think they looked right. I also looked at others and most (?) had painted them green, which is also probably why I thought they were trees. I mostly used the work of swlusk here as the basis for my version. And reproduced below. I am going to try to add some cirrus clouds and some texture/shading as he has done so nicely!

You are of course correct! FD was knighted, and presumably given his Coat of Arms, after he returned. So it should not be on the ship untyil AFTER he returned. But...maybe I ammodelling it after it was put on display follwoing the voyage More info on this is here, by rkwz, who also noted this inconsistency.

That is an interesting idea. I am not sure my skills are capable of it, but I might experiment with the technique.

Someone (Harry Houdini, in Australia) suggested painting the light colour along the hull, and then painting the dark colour on paper which is then cut to the correct size/shape and glued into place. I guess this also works... Not sure which approach to use yet!

I have added some clouds and tried to put some texture in the grass, leaves and the hind itself.

Hi Kirill
here is a closeup picture of the hull. The triangles are actually marked in the plastic...slightly raised lines. So they *might* be useful to give straight lines. I expect that your technique would not work because I would first need to remove these raised lines, so I can replace them with your cut lines? Have I understood?

Good day,
Maybe we can use them as a "guide" line when making that fine cutt...need to try and see how it will work...?
