The Ship Model Forum

Wojtek:

What an amazing work you have completed! I am glad to try to follow in your footsteps. If you have a moment, I have a few questions:

1) Was the armor plate dated to 1945? (I too am creating to the surrender ceremony)

2) If so, do you have any feedback on the Eduard PE for that install? I will search your build log to see how you did it. Very impressive.

3) Did you reconfigure the hull? Why or why not?

4) The deck at the surrender ceremony looked bluegreen according to the pictures I received from the museum where my build is going. Yours looks a bit more grey in color? Why?

thanks for your time. My build is new to this forum, but I have been sloggin with this Trumpeter for a few years, trying to get it right.

My priest (I am a chaplain) is from Poland, but all I have learned here in Colorado is "jin dobre"

My son and I are very impressed with this build. Just an all around great looking build!

looking really nice... don't forget to make the interior of the barrels black to avoid the brass look there....

That's amazing. The figures really give a scale to the size of the ship and its guns.

Thank You Guys for nice words and encouragement! :wave_1:

It is time for last post in this thread. There are some minor corrections needed but we will meet next time in 'Completed models' section :cool_2:

Impressive! The weathering really makes the plastic look more "steel"! :thumbs_up_1:

Aop

Stunning work on this one!

That's a big ship! She looks incredible.....glad I jumped online this morning to look! Keep it up, she's worth all the effort.

:big_grin: :big_grin: :big_grin:

THIS looks flipping amazing!!!! Well done!!!

Some time has passed since I have been updating my Mo thread. The reason is that the size of the ship is not making it easy to make photos. The other reason is also honestly - my lazyness :cool_2:

Here is the state of my progress (I am sorry for the background):

I have also started to work on capitulation scene:

Figurines are also done. Even when there are about 160 of them it looks a little bit not too much...

So, what do You think about this? :smallsmile:

Thank You Guys! I have a little break in my workshop because of lots of business trips.

Light box can't handle the mightiness of my Mo :big_grin:

I honestly have no idea how will I make photos of whole hull... :thinking:

Very nice work Wojtek! Details look sharp and crisp and the paint looks awesome.

Looks like you're running out of space in your light box too.....had the same issue with my 1/350. Good thing you only have to add the main hull to really see how big it is ;)

Very nice! Can't wait to see it all put together.

HI Wojtek

nice paint an very good weathering :thumbs_up_1:
good job
cheers
Nicolas

Now, it is just to put this all together... :big_grin:

I think it is about 2/3 of work with Superstructure and it looks like this:

Joe, Larry,

Thanks a milion! :thumbs_up_1:

As for shading: I use black pirimer and additionally after gloss varnish I use panelliner from Tamiya to pop those elements a bit. However, with next ship I will change the way of painting. With black primer colours look a little bit too dark form me... I will use grey primer for base and black paint only for preshading.

It's looking really nice, Wojtek! You're doing a super job. I especially like the way you make the vertical piping on the tower to stand out. How did you do that? Dis you spray a black undercoat before you put the grey on? :thumbs_up_1: :thumbs_up_1:

Great work! Love the shadow effects!
