Brian's 1/100 HMS Victory

The O'Brien series is excellent and another one is the Julian Stockwin series about Sir Thomas Kydd. Similar to Capt Aubrey but I think the series is a little longer.

Can't seem to match the blue but close enough





A better match ?

Looking good Brian. Nice to see the shot going in :thumb2: The colour of the part on the painting stand looks closer to me, on my IPad at least. The other one is too pastel looking.

Agreed

A little progress



Had to mask all the panels........I hate masking


Dropped a booboo forgot to paint the gun port inners red .....going to be awkward now the guns are in :sad:
I must thank John (Wotan) for sending me some rope.....all the way from Canada :smiling3: looks good

Going well Brian. For the gunport painting, couldn’t you just slip an appropriate sized tube over the gun barrels to prevent paint getting on them while you tackle the paint job?

Use fine handkerchiefs , blouse material etc, suitably marked up and coloured, and stiffened with dilute PVA - I used that in the past and it works perfickly!
