Hi all

After nearly 30 years of not building and painting a ship i thought it was about time. The recent release from AK Interactive, namely the weathering sets and German Ships DVD, are what motivated me to give it a go. I picked up this Revell kit at a yard sale last June for $2 so I figured why not start with this.
I built it out of the box as I didn't know if I would stick with it or shelf it and go back to my Armor vehicles.

The kit is an old dog that does need quite a bit of cleaning of the poorly molded parts.

I mainly am concentrating on the painting and weathering and using some military vehicle weathering techniques.











Still lots more to paint and weather. Ihave a blog at the following and also on my website with more pics.

Hi Rob,

Super paint and weathering! Can't wait to see her rigged.

Cheers,
Joe

Thanks Joe
Not sure about the rigging tho. need to research it and plan how to do it..lol. last time I did any rigging was over 30 years ago an the large scale revell Cutty Sark.

Definitely not as complex as that of the Cutty Sark.

Should give it a shot.
Cheers,
Joe

Will give it a shot when it's time. I have two Revell 1/96 Constitution kits in the base that might be good practice...lol

ok I had issues with pb and couldn't upload pics. I did a bit more weathering and have some pics here.
