Finally finished. It won the South Island New Zealand nationals in class last month. Weathering, Hi lights and shadowing with oils. Rigging with Ceanis line. Currently on a temporary base while it waits for a harbor diorama to sit in with an unfinished battlecruiser project. Model was so small I built it sitting on the end of a tongue depressor like your doctor uses. lol. 700 scale is the only scale! At least until I cant see through my optivisor.

Cute little boat! Very nice execution of the works. Love the detailing, not easy at such a scale!

A small update for a small ship. Thanks for the pics Jim So Ive changed the vents to ones made of solder. slightly thicker. Building that rear railing for the rear canopy cover wasnt easy .Ive used annealed 10thou brass and the additional struts of stretched sprue So still not finished but getting closer now. Some of the deck ladders in place now and its starting to look more the business

Garbage Scow. frustration in miniture :) |

Building a 700 scale Garbage Scow. So what have I learned so far. Vallejo primer goes on pretty good from the airbrush. Unfortunately it also peels of in sheets like white glue. When you mask you can literally rip whole sections off the model. Thats a little frustrating. grrr. Well painting progressed and as far as railings before I think. Those windows look a but rough. After a couple of hours I shave them off and replace with some IJN window frame and aber doors. Dont do this at home kids. A nightmare not ripping off all those railings. but I think it looks better now. Hulls Vallejo black grey. looks darker than I planned. unsure as to lighten it now or bank on the white oils filter to do that at the weathering stage. mmmm. unsure. Forgive the rough paint job. its not by any means close to finishing and Im well aware its rough as guts . lol. Your comments are welcome
