hi all

 

i have all the hull detail done, ie portholes, windows and doors, and anchor recesses.

 

so a coat of satin black has gone on to see how it looks.

 

ps, paint is still wet in the pics, thats why it looks gloss ;)

Thank goodness for that Carl, I was definitely missing my ship fix.

 

If you were to have one reccomendation to someone who was thinking about starting out inmodel ship building what would it be?

 

m0rris

 

morris, thats a hard one to ancer! depends on what your thinking of doing, ie, what ship, full hull or water line, and what your going to build it with.

 

if you pm me, i will do my best to point you in the right direction. or ancer anything you ask.

 

ok, back to C Princess.

 

i gave the port side a coat of paint and left it to dry, today i have added the upper bump strips to port and starbourd sides, and cut out the detail.

 

let me know what you think!

 

thanks for looking.

Hi all

 

sorry for the lack off work on this ship, its due to working full time now and having no spare time :O(

 

but i have been working on her 1st class lounge tonight, its very hard to get the side windows of the lounge right, as there are no pictures of them anywhere!!, they are hid on every picture i have of her. so i am just going to have to make a guess at them and see how it looks.

 

here are some pictures of what i have done tonight and a picture of the same section of the real c princess, as you can see, the windows are inside the deck doors to the side of the front windows.

the side windows in this picture are on the outer 1st class deck wall under the bridge wings. its the windows behind them i am having problems with.

Glad to hear that this is still going and that you have some full time work even if that does impact on your modelling time. The work that you have done on the superstructure looks right to my unknowing eyes.
