Working with Resin Ships

Corsair Armadas USS Vestal repair ship

Almost completed

By this time the acrylic water has dried and left us with a nice clear gloss surface over our painted water color. Using a sharp exact you need to cut through this water, tracing the masking tape outline of the ships hull. Once this is done you can raise the bow or stern point and peel it off leaving a space for the hull recessed to the deepness of the acrylic water layer (about 3mm). Now place the built up hull in place using a thin layer of white glue or the acrylic lacquer to secure it. Once this has dried I like to drill down through the hull to screw it to the base for added strength. I drill a hole through the center of the #1 turret mount and the #4 turret mount. Small screws are used and care is taken that the turrets sit flush on their barbettes.
