Some fine work progressing on your Hood Bernd!!
Very nice attention to detail, it's great to seeing her grow!
Its a great boost for the motivation.
Hello Dave, thanks for commenting. The Eduard set was the choice because of the price and it won t used completely. On the other hand i need somethig for the louvers over the hawse pipes and the look of the observation platform is not really better after using pe.
Its also good to know about the Musashi set, the kit is in my stash for a while.
Got the Eduard set for my Tamiya Missouri, hope its more better/complete.
Guess its best to look for something different or using more than one detail set but this is up to the modeller how much money he will invest in a hobby.
For my Warspite i think about the Mk I Design / KA models set with everything including.
Drybrushing is simply about routine, i am not an expert on this but may you have a "test bed" in your collection.
I don t weather my builds very much but this overall blue gray AP 507 B paint became look boring.
More soon
Bernd
Bernd,
Amazing work on your HMS Hood. I think the idea of masking the business end of the main barrels is a good touch. Really makes them pop.
I myself have become less a fan of Eduard Ship PE sets after using their Musashi set. It was missing too many critical components and the parts for the port side were bigger than the parts for the starboard side. It was pretty frustrating. Anyway, they do have some nice sets but...
The weathering and drybrushing look really good. I still need to work on the drybrushing skill myself, cant seem to remove enough paint from the brush before application...
looking forward to seeing more soon.
Dave
With my KGV build I have both the WEM PE, the Eduard PE, Master barrels sets, Shinsegumi deck, and when all is said and done, it's cost me around $500AUD! pretty hefty when you consider that the Pontos set is around $150Aud, which could have saved me a pretty penny, but as it was, the Pontos set wasn't available at the time...
