Today Bridge has had an accident and window frames were damaged. I fixed then painted deck with Gunze Linoleoum color.

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 . 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.

Hello,

Most of the pain-t job is finished. I tried gold pencil for linoleum effect.









Now rigging comes

Regards
Serhan

Hi Serhan,

ship looks very good after painting . 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.

Serhan

With the boost of Jim's watercolor paper sea effect method, I tried to simulate calm sea. Of course I could not found same material and its not finished yet but wanted to share with you :



Thanks again Jim!

Hi Serhan,

looks good already , HIJMS Yubari is anchored in Truk lagoon

cheers

Gilbert

She looks very neat , how's the rigging coming up?



Jose

Very sharp work!

Thank you Jose and Martin,

Jose rigging is really job for me now
I tried to make yardarm rigs first with fishing line, then with p.e. railings at last bored and put spare yardarm of Akashi. Its wrong but seen better than nothing there. Anyway it is not started nice but I am bit stubborn



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...


see below:

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

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.

I like her new paint alot Serhan!
