Shipbuilding IV

I've been busy working on another project, but last night managed to get the smaller trade ship base-coated. I will highlight and stain in due course.... it is at least looking somewhat Roman.


I was surprised how quickly one can paint a ship, compared to figures.  It looks like the ship will take less time to paint than its half dozen crew!

Note to self: hull was sprayed using Army Painter Leather Brown, and highlighted with a 50/50 mix of Vallejo flat earth and tan earth.

    That's looking good! Will you have time to do a bit of weathering?

    It's done now, bar rigging and varnishing. If this rain ever lets up I'll finish her and post photos.

    It's a great kit, Tom. The mast and sail are very nicely done.
