some initial weathering on the copper, used gun blue sprayed on with a mist sprayer, will add the green colors with oils at the end of the build.

What no breadfruit? :D


Impressive work so far, more so considering the mold date.

Does the copper tape hold well?
 
lol, yeah the tape sticks on real nice just like a bare metal foil. Plus I have clear coated over it 4 times now during the painting process so its permanent lol
 
thanks!
I got some more parts painted, I wanted the masts to be a lighter color than the rest of the wood like an oak looking color so I painted them with flesh craft paint then went over with raw umber oils and some paynes grey to make shadows

also went with a bronze figure head, it shows the nice detail in it better than painting it i think

I'm no stranger to all things styrene, but my eyes are having a hard time not believing that is not a wood model. Outstanding.
 
Really sharp work. One thing though if they are Sails attached to the Spars, they should be attached to the underside of them and not on top of them.....Cheers Mark
