The Ship Model Forum

I know this thread is old but I have a question about painting decks. It appears the model was constructed raw, with the vertical posts connecting decks. Later shots reveal a cleanly painted deck. How does one paint around those small vertical bits of plastic? It would seem to me that airbrushing would be difficult, due to the need to carefully mask the deck and the obstruction of the posts to the spray pattern of the paint. Were the decks hand painted?

Thanks!

Hi, thank you so much for your reply and your offer to send the plan. My mail address is

flickoliver@gmx.de

It will take a while (1/100 scale!) but my father will post the pictures as soon as he is done.

Greetings from Germany

Hallo Guest,
please send me by pm your e mail address, I can send you the draw I using to built the hull of my Pinguin.
I hope it can be useful for you...

Hello bento,

very well made model. My father is interested in building the Pinguin for a famous German Naval museum. Do you know by any chance where to get a more detailed plan (especially the sheer plan / profile). Could he call you, since he has no internet and is more interested in ships than computers (maybe a wise choice?).

Greetings from Bremerhaven, Germany

Splendid work! Great entity, everything seems very "finished"; weather subtile and not too much, excellent colouring and of course nice structural work too! A museum piece which covers the working life of a merchant ship very well!

Thanks Stefano!

A masterpiece, Bento...

dimenticavo di quelle in cartoncino ho in digitale il Bremen in scala 1/250

Non so se le hai







Per il Bremen potresti partire dalla base di quelle in cartoncino:

Most impressive! It's so detailed that it makes it hard to believe the scale is 1:400.

In a word FANTASTIC
