very slow progress on the battleships..
only able to work on them over the weekend..oso don have the paint yet for wood deck..
undercoat with mr surfacer..then airbrush main structure, all those tiny guns and oso sides of the ship with XF63+XF66

khai62 & limfreelance
great build..nice

yamato and musashi oso almost finish...
but wooden deck look 'toy sangat'..any idea how to make it more real?

thanks bro...
just the website that i'm looking for

some other tips from the site you mentioned are really good tips that can try..
and as for the decks..yeah maybe need to find the aftermarket decks...one that i've painted look not convincing enough..
anyway found two types...

wooden and decal type... which to choose...

agreed...bigger/longer waterslide decals are quite a hassle to handle at some times...

ozak
nice camo...

some progress on my Yamato class battleship.

1. was not satisfied with color scheme on the wooden (XF57 Buff) and seaplane deck (XF12 JN grey). strip down the whole ship's body. undercoat, re-mask and repaint. more satisfied with XF59 desert yellow and xf53 neutral gray..
2. fitting (without glue) of main structure, AA guns, cranes, seaplane, small extra boats etc on the yamato
3. a few more decals need to be applied.
4. plan to get weathering master for IJN vessel..later on coat the whole ship with Gaianoted EX clear flat. never tried weathering and flat coat before..would this be okay?
5. also plan to do rigging..not really sure what material to use..just some rough idea in my mind for the rigging section..will study more..


seaplanes..undercoat > airbrush JN grey bottomside > handpaint JN green topside


new color on the wooden deck..some touch up here and there needed



new color on the flight deck..maybe can try PE cranes for next ship project..

thanks

i have mr mark softer..never tried mr mark setter yet..
still if i top coat with clear flat the result would fine rite?

okok..got the idea... thanks mate
