The Ship Model Forum

I like this camo
What are the colors? I think I can recognize two: 507A and 507C. You was using airbrush?

Yep it's airbrushed, I've just updgraded to an Iwata HP-C from an Aztek A470 and the new brush is absolutely superb. The colours are actually MS2, MS4a and B6. G10 wood decks and teak wood decks. All the paints are WEM colourcoat enamels.

I'm glad to see how you've used the black plasticard, too! I like it for templates and transverse hull sections, especially.

As a builder of an earlier-period HMS Ajax, most of which is from scratch, I really appreciate what you're doing with your excellent project.

Beautiful job!

Hi Dan,

Is that the same Ajax or one of the earlier ships?

Andrew

Andrew A fine piece of work . Top draw . I must admit I've yet to try moulding any fitting but I guess the time has come for me to grasp the nettle . Good to see otheres like yourself have achieved excellent results .

I'm being driven mad by rigging & thought it was time for a break - I'm also amazed that I got it done without demolishing the radar aerials (yet)...

Here are a few quick shots to show everything coming together - so far it all fits!





Andrew

That is so not believable what that kit once wuz....oh gosh, my brain is unable to function properly! Simply superb work there.

Simply superb work!!

Superb AJAX model to come !!!





Jef

Amazing!!!, i remember when you started building the hull of the ship as if it was yesterday and would you look at that now. i love the paint scheme, you did terrific

Andrew:

Love your Ajax!

Was just wondering if photos of the build sequence are available elsewhere on the internet, as the links to the photos in this thread are now broken, and the photos cannot be viewed.

I'm now beating myself for not having downloaded them when they were first posted.

Please advise.

Many thanks!

Mike E.

You're right ! " je suis con" as we say in french !

Try sending him a pm. He may no longer have the picture site where he posted from.
Good luck!

Or, try looking in the gallery: http://www.modelshipgallery.com/gallery ... index.html

2007 is a long timeback-- and it may well be that Mr Ayling no longer builds model ships...?
