Went to the Web Site, saw the kit, read all the details and very quietly backed back out. If I had your skills I might pull the trigger. But as it is, way beyond my skills. So I shall enjoy watching you make a master piece. That is after I pick my jaw up off the floor after reading the details.
Fight laziness, don't let it spread out and take over your desire! Modeling and laziness can not go together.

Once the oil has dried thouroughly can you show us a real close up of the tree nails. I’m interested in seeing how obvious (or the opposite) they are.
Keep on going. The model looks fantastic.

Hi Oleg, can you explain to us in more detail what is gull with buthum varnish? Do you have bottle pictures?
This was just some typos that I corrected almost right away
I meant "after oil I covered the hull with bitumen varnish"

I realised now that maybe I should've better used "bituminous" rather than "bitumen"
Many thanks, Oleg. I know exactly what do you mean, I understand\speak the Russian language.
Here is the current state of the hull after oil and varnish have cured. Indoor lighting and cellphone photo, but you can have an idea...
Hi Oleg,
Great result I love the appearence of the hull planks. What is the ratio between varnish and bitumen you use?

It's a ready to use compound, so no idea. But what I do is dilute it with white-spirit. The ratio is found experimentally - the darker you want, the less white-spirit you put and vice-versa, but with too much white-spirit it becomes too watery and useless.
It's kind of tricky technique to apply it that you gain with experience...
