Michaelscarborough Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 So...on the deck.....I assume that's wood grain decals but are you adding washes...like Sepia over the decal? It looks really good! Cheers from NYC, MIchael 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krow113 Posted January 10, 2017 Author Share Posted January 10, 2017 Ya Uschi decals with pre-shading underneath, they are quite transparent , and some outlineing and dark shading in a red/brown/black wash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazypoet Posted January 11, 2017 Share Posted January 11, 2017 The woodwork is a joy to see coming together. Any chance you could do a step-by-step photo set for one of the parts? I'd love to watch over your shoulder, if I may? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crazypoet Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 That is beautifully done! I've been doing a ton of woodwork on the Picket Boat, and it's impossible for me to tell the difference in finish/appearance between the wood pieces I'm making and the wood finish you're applying here. It's utterly convincing. Thanks for sharing your approach and the work as it develops 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crazypoet Posted January 20, 2017 Share Posted January 20, 2017 I love this! Making things look "right" both from a distance as well as right up-close is a gift and a talent. I can put myself into the cockpit you're building and the instuments all seem to be ready for my hands to reach out and use. Adequate. Quite adequate. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krow113 Posted January 21, 2017 Author Share Posted January 21, 2017 The luck of the adequate! Thanks cpoet! Just lucky to be able to see how things 'look' and manipulate paint and other mediums to adequately recreate that 'look'.

Michaelscarborough Posted February 10, 2017 Share Posted February 10, 2017 Looking good, Krow! What are you using for the washes?? Cheers from NYC 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krow113 Posted February 10, 2017 Author Share Posted February 10, 2017 Thanks Micheal! I have a set of ComArt thin wash's from Medea if that makes sense. I've used them continuously for years. Can be airbrushed or deployed with a regular brush.Lots of colors and they are bright and workable.You can go back in and remove , as I did on the IP screw details around the edge , flood then go back in and clean up around the details. I bought a set at my LHS and have added to it from Medea's catalogue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michaelscarborough Posted February 10, 2017 Share Posted February 10, 2017 Good to know.....thanks for the info. I am always looking for new types of washes and will give these a shot. You are clearly getting great results with them! Keep up the good and inspirational work! Cheers from NYC, Michael 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
