Time for a new project, this time with guns and all Kit is fully 3D printed. I'm going to depict it on a seascape, portraying events of 10th of June 1943.

First primer coats on the hull plus some other little bits:

Great start. May i ask which primer? looks beautifully smooth

Tamiya diluted 3:1 (3 thinners) with Leveling Thinner.

That is a good looking seascape. Nice work.

Thanks. Today all sorts of brass and PE bits plus 3D printed Bofors from HS.

I've finished with base colours on the hull. I'm moderatly satisfied with the result


















While I had it done, I went on,  dug the seascape out of the box and put them together to see how does it come together:

Continued great work. I like the subtle oil canning effect on the hull.

Agree with Martin, that's some beautiful oil canning. Did you shoot through a mask for that, or is it done with pre-shading? Regardless, it works!
