Swords to Plowshares GB / Re: Two Possible Ideas That I am Thinking About Doing
« Last post by PFJN on Today at 10:50:45 AM »Hi,
Sorry for the slow progress :
Here is the main hull and superstructure with some paint and handling gear loosely shown in place. The hull will be the medium blue and the handling gear the orangish yellow that is shown below. The superstructure will evntually be white and the external decks to be some shade of olive or green. The peach color that is shown right now in some spots is just a different shade of Mr. Surfacer that I wanted to try and and see how well other colors will cover it.
In th second picture you can see some of the small craft that I intnd to hang from the davits, including, a couple 40ft (or so) sailboats (in blue), a 20ft power boat (currently shown in the peach color primer), two 20ft sailboats (in red), a large power/excursion craft (in black with a reddish brown bottom), and two 6m rhibs (that I will probably just set on deck somewhere.
I'm very happy with how everything came out of my 3D printer, but I did have to patch a few small items on the prints, and its been tricky trying to paint everything because the parts are kind of small
Anyway, I'm hopin to maybe paint the hull bottom red soon and add a black boot topping and then maybe paint the main decks green with white bitts and chocks etc. The trickier part will be trying to finish up the superstructure because I haven't fully figured out yet the best way to try and add window and such.
Regards
Pat
