Hello Y.T. please show us those inc paints so folks get familiar. How do you use them: paint with brush\airbrush or as a dye?

Yes. Here are pics
These inks are penetrating into wood fibres much better than acrylics. They have better flow capacity. After curing they are bright. No need covering with lacquers as I had to do with acrylic paint.
By the way Jimsky. It was by your idea I had first use of inks. Remember deadeyes for my model?
Yes, I do, Y.T. I wanted our members to be more familiar with those inks, and happy to know they are a new way to substitute acrylic paints.
Dis you consider painting Victory in its latest colour scheme ? I think it would be great.
I use brushes only. They go from tiniest to larger ones. Brushes are for acrylic paint. I never used air brush. I do not think they are suitable for work I do.
Hi Brian077. Colour scheme is going to be one from hundreds of real ship pictures I have. They are dated around year 2010.
I know you made your own chain plate. I started to use ones supplied. they have a tendency to break. did you try and have same problem?
Yes. They were very hard and brittle. Very hard to adjust.
They are a pain in the posterior... think I will come up with another option. thank you
Here is what happened with ports at rear.
Here however I am stamping in completely new and foreign territory of ropes. Probably my efforts look miserable to experts.
What is your method of making ropes, Y.T? From the pictures above, they look very good, but the rope itself is relatively small yo see details.
Method of making rope is in post #468

Why would you think, your ropes are miserable? As I said in the previous post, they are nice ropes! You may need to dye them for standing rigging (tar). For running, you would need to find tan color threads.
This is thread colour Dolmanoff recommended in their manuals. I will try to stick to recommended colours.
I consider rear ports finished.
