Brian's 1/100 HMS Victory

[Bri62]

I'll polish them when dry

[Bri62]

It's a bit hard to see which colour the loops have as they are on shadow. Would it be better if you wrote by the loop the size it should be. Could save a confusion along the way.

yes Ian but the 13mm is pink and there is only 2 each side for sure

[Bri62]

Give it a quick polish

Brian,
Chair pulled up. She looks nicely detailed. I don't fancy gluing all those barrel halves together.

There was no hairy fairy's on the victory ...... no stokers either ......hoist the main engines and all that

I beg to difer!! I was on her in 1990(ish). Albeit only for a visit!!! The click bed would have been invented a lot earlier if Wafu's had served on the Victory.
All that aside, superb job so far, really looking forward to you doing the rigging, I did a bit of rigging when I was 12 for my uncle on his Victory. (He had fingers like sausages so he listed me to do the fiddly bits. I think he used waxed cotton!

You might want to have a look at Vallejo's flesh tones. They do several different one of those might fit the bill.

A quick Google search ;
Vallejo skintone bring up a couple of good ones, one Model Air, the other Model Color.

I used skintone 71.076 I left it overnight to dry and It's a better match not 100% but close enough so going to leave as is

More masking and painting.
