Looking good. What do you thin the Gunze with for air brushing?

Hello,

Thanks Jose and Rigel,

Only deck is painted with Gunze. I used laquer thinner and used same thing for wem's Yokosuka gray. In next ones, I must use another thinner for wem paints.

Hi Serhan,

your Yokosuka Gray looks very good :thumbs_up_1: . WEM colourcoats are to be stirred a lot before using them to get to their best. Additionally, for airbrushing you have to thin them more than other enamel paints.

cheers

Gilbert

Thanks Gilbert but I am not good with enamels. I sprayed it over with Gunze 32. Now its bit darker but smoother surface.

Hi Serhan,

ship looks very good after painting :thumbs_up_1: . Don't worry about the linoleum brass strips because as war was going on, maintenance was going less especially for getting the strips clean.

Good luck for the rigging. What do you use ? stretched sprue, wire or fishing line ?

cheers

Gilbert

Thank you Gilbert,

I will try 0.1 mm fishing line. I would like to have shape memory metal fishing wires but I could not find them.

Regards,
Serhan

Serhan:

Try this for yardarm rigging:

Using stretched sprue, make two large loops-from yard arm to just pat the centre of mast
repeat for other side.

Using more stretched sprue, dipped in a pool of liquid cement,attach the melting end 2/3 of the way on your loop.-allow the loop to soften then pull upwards and cement to yard

Repeat in the other 1/3-

you should now have REALLY thin footropes

Does need some practice--but it is very fine...

Hello,

Jim,
Sorry for very late thank you for your kind reply and help. I am still studying, watching and trying your techniques and way of modeling as much as I can do, hope I will live to understand and do repeat some part of it :smallsmile:

Its been a long time since I worked back on Yubari. I tried to correct color tone by airbrushing Mr.Color 32 Yokosuka gray offering.
