Added the decks and now I'm adding the shitload of stuff of the deck. Still need to finish the camo of the turrets and two superstructures but I decided to finish this before november and stop being a lazy fuck. As the simpleton that I am unless I see big progress while building I don't get motivated enough to continue so the camo and decks have been a boost. Made a little experiment to weather the wood with diluted acrylics and enamels and I'm quite pleased with the more washed out look, could push it further but I rather try shit with the thing selades and with oils so the potential damage can be controlled.
Having to build and paint at the same time plus managing all the small parts and stuff to make it easy to paint is a pita but quite enjoyable too, I have two main ideas for the next build
>1/700 T H E T E R R O R O F T H E S E A S, I already got the wood deck along the pow one as I wanted to build her at some point and I would refine the workflow and techniques in 1/700 from what I learned from the fire baptism >1/350 graf spee to wet my dick in the big league. I can get her with PE, decks, resin, etc more or less for 100€ which is really cheap for 1/350 for what I can see. Also she's small for 1/350 so that's a plus as I don't have much space for displayBut I'm tempted by the newly announced/released 1/700 scharnhorst or some anglo/murican light cruisers. The thing is that ships are really fragile and take a lot of time build so committing to a build is harder than with armor for me
>>7797452One of the best metallics out there, even with brush for small chips (don't recommend it unless you know what you're doing) work perfectly. Shame they are hard to come by here and fucking expensive but I would say they are even better than alclad
>>7797601The gunship variant had a smaller cabin, without the "U" shape for ammo or fuel irc
