Wow! Sharp looking build. Love it.
PS - I moved this to the "Completed Models" forum. You had it in the scratchbuilders completed models forum.

Re: Flyhawk Naiad completed
All airbrushed paints are Tamiya thinned with Tamiya lacquer, either lightened and/or mixed. Hand brushed details and touch-ups were done with Vallejo Model Color, color-matched to the Tamiya. Can't be more specific than that. White is white with a very little black. Brown is NATO brown. Green is Olive Green.Rick_H wrote:Lovely! What did you use for the lightest color?

Re: Flyhawk Naiad completed
The green/brown camo is debatable. I followed Flyhawk's color illustration, but other sources claim it's wrong, wrong, wrong! The same pattern is supposed to be all in shades of gray.Quincy wrote:Outstanding build!

IMHO, Flyhawk models are like Pokemon's - "Gotta get 'em all!" 
A big to Flyhawk!

Re: Flyhawk Naiad completed
Very very nice!
Great camo indeed! The seascape also looks very good, and its' color fits very well with the colors of the ship.
I have never been a fan of cotton smoke, but you certainly succeeded in making it look good in these photo's!
Cheers,
Marijn

Re: Flyhawk Naiad completed
For the smoke, I airbrushed a small piece of cotton. A small piece is best as you have to tease it out a lot. If you don't tease it out it will just look like a lump of cotton. Since the cotton is light I have it supported by a few strands on to the rigging so that it appears to stream out behind.

Very atmospheric!
Professional work.
I think this kit has great potential if an OOB build is so detailed.
