San Bartolome kit No. 00132 Build.

neilm... Your ornaments (and everything else) look so good I'm going to work on dry brushing. I had bought some dry brushes (HERE) 2 years ago but never got around to using them. Planning on learning after seeing yours.

I'm currently working on the bartolome ships boat. Did you airbrush, paint, or dry brush the boat?

I airbrushed in the same way as the whole of the ship. Patina, sand and used the oak stain.

What is 'sand'? Are those all in Pavel's dye kit?

Hi. I mean sandpaper. Pavel’s dye kit supplies everything you need. And of course watch the video on you tube.
I meant dyes and not stain by the way.
If you have any questions, please feel free to ask. So hard to explain on paper but just experiment.
You can control an airbrush with so much precision. Much more than a paint brush.
Just play around on a scrap piece, it’s all about technique and practice. Comes easy after a while. Dyes are so much easier than paint because they are thinner and translucent.

Hi Jagpilot.
Didn’t touch the original black resin mouldings.
Dry brushed first with the old gold and then a little steel on the very peaks of the mouldings.
Hope this is of interest.

Very simple method and they look great. I spent hours using gold leaf. I may have to rethink my method.IMG_1365.jpegIMG_1362.jpegIMG_1374.png
