Thanks for watching.

Absolutely excellent so far. :thumbs_up_1:

I've started to put it together...

Thanks, I always glue them into the seascape with PVA. If the gap is very big I stuff it with cotton and PVA, if not, just PVA from 3/0 brush. Foam covers it up nicely :big_grin:

Beautiful so far :cool_2:

She looks great. What did you use to fill the gap between the hull and "water"? I always struggle with that. I feel like I get more on the hull and in the gap!

It's done with pre shading. Dirt and rust:

Agree with Martin, that's some beautiful oil canning. Did you shoot through a mask for that, or is it done with pre-shading? Regardless, it works!

Continued great work. I like the subtle oil canning effect on the hull.

I've finished with base colours on the hull. I'm moderatly satisfied with the result :big_grin:

While I had it done, I went on,  dug the seascape out of the box and put them together to see how does it come together:

That is a good looking seascape. Nice work.

I got the seascape up to the ponit, when the hull goes in. Airbrushing stage done:
