AAaaaahh -Dang , I forgot all about that thing
This should be fun .

 

[BeebleBrox]

Will do my best, aiming for Uru-class.

 

[urumomo]

LOL -- Uru-class meaning you'll never finish it ?
I'm interested to see how you treat those sails .

 

[BeebleBrox]

Nice crisp colors, excellent paint job, no modifications though (I think).

The sails might be tricky.. color modulation maybe.. gray, dark gray and then off white, maybe.

Somebody loves you.

 

[Hagoth]

Just want to see how this one progresses.

 

[BeebleBrox]

Dont know where this is going..
Try to make it polychrome.
Hull red as base and the copper, light rust, dark rust, brass, olive green and black.. just mixning in from the bottles.. drop of this, drop of that..
Better pix next time.. its drying on this one.

 

[urumomo]

LOL - that's the best way to paint .
There's always the Iso

 

[BeebleBrox]

Think I Will have multi color sails, pastells Maybe

 

[BeebleBrox]

There is always isoprop.. Looks kind of good.. Will try some pigments on it just to dull it down and get some more color modulation

 

[urumomo]

Very interesting .

Why don't you embed your Imgur pix on the page ? Easier to see

 

[BeebleBrox]

[BeebleBrox]

Todays progress.

 

[BeebleBrox]

Windows are always like turds in a punch-bowl.

 

[BeebleBrox]

Some progress

Windows turned out ok.

Like the finish on the chimneys.




A bit dark.
I wonder what white sails will do with it.
