LA Sub Build 1/108 GRP

[Guest]

I started painting her today with a few coats of primer, black gloss then flat black. Once the bottom red paint is done and the markings and things, I’ll clear coat it all over.

I finished the painting today, or near enough. I’ll find a few more things to do to it as always.

The flat black at the bow looks ODD going down through the waterline anti-foul but that’s how it is on the Greenville so I copied it.



I used the lazer level for the lines.





My first coat of anti-foul was a bit light so I darkened it up.

I particularly like the different textures of black. It is very difficult to make a surface interesting when it is all black but the use of varying degrees of Matt and Gloss make all the differrence.

The antifouling looks a perfect colour as well. The last time I saw a coat of antifouling going on a ships hull it was exactly that shade.

Now it really looks the part!!, lovely job.
