Some more pics, it's interesting to see heavier weathering amidships..


That would likely be from rubbing against jetties or fenders in port, very common in curved hulled Corvettes like those or converted Trawlers who are both small and light and rise with swell more than larger displacing vessels.

Cheers,

I hope not to hijack the thread, but weathering appears on docks and piers as well, aye? So this topic seems to be appropirate for the following pictures, taken at the Port of Antwerp/Belgium last weekend:

The quay bulkhead generally seemed to be pre-WWII, just like the whole section of the harbour was.
Very nice remains of early fortification together with fright ramps and old handling and storage buildings
from various time frames.
Some ships at display perfected the scenery.

Hi MöLDERS, you are not hijacking, it is a nice contribution. :thumbs_up_1:
In 1986 I had been in this port.
Thanks for sharing the pics.

Extremeley rust applied to a model ( Type XXI submarine) :

Please forgive my ignorance, but why would a late war Type XXI have ever weathered so badly? It does look really excellent though.


Thanks,

This may not be the best place for this question, but I’ll give it a shot anyway. On many photos I’ve seen of German U-Boats (mostly B&W), there often is seen blotches of a light (grey?) color all over the conning tower in random fashion. Are these salt stains, or worn/chipped paint reveling primer beneath, or what?

Thanks
Kevin

Given the nature of this topic, I was surprised at how interesting I found the photo's and the comparative scope for photographs etc

It has proved an informative forum discussion and I was particuarly impressed with the submarine model

In real naval terms, having no practical experience, how often would war-ships have their paint topped up?

Is this mainly a preserve of the peace-time navy or would it have been carried out in wartime as well?

Just saw this nice over on Navy Newsstand. Old Chancellorsville really needs a yard period, poor girl. Did anyone get the number of that tug(s) that messed up her stern?

Check out the SLQ-32 platform on the Reagan too; man!

Anyone who dares standing on that SLQ-32 platform has a deathwish :big_grin:
Wouldn't want to be the service engineer on that ship.

This photo also makes it very clear that weathering of the ship goes a lot faster when travelling through seas around the equator.

I like these pictures, its fascinating how ships weather naturally as they go about their business

Big question. Varied from ship-to-ship in wartime. I've seen plenty of photos of ships where a new topcoat was applied over an old one with no primer. Inevitably the new coat will wear off and leave the other one showing. Loook at photos of Ark III in the Med or KGV in 1941 for well-known examples.

If a ship was repainted in dockyard during a refit or maintenance period it would tend to be a better job.

Chatting to a dockyard matey the other day. he tells me that crew-applied paint is frequently a problem (not that he has a vested interest, of course :big_grin: ).

Hi everyone,

I'm sure everyone has their own techniques for weathering....some use air brushes, some use paint brushes, some use chalk, some use different combinations and some use different techniques.

It would be helpful to the more inexperienced amongst us if the more experienced people here would graciously share some of their techniques, please.

Troy.

Here is a Picture of the USS Ault from WWII. First Picture is an original scanned into my computer. The second one is one that I touched up with Photoshop to try to bring out more details of the ship. Really good photograph of a weathered ship.

This is what just fast moving water can do sans mud particles. Victory ship with all paint scrubbed off by wave action and you can see hunks of rust dropping off.

Watch rusty under the arresting cables: I think the rusty drops from the cables and are not originated in the deck.......
