Not happy with the arched windows on the stern. I picked up some lasercut windows at Colours yesterday and think I might hack the balsa off and replace them...

[Coronasan]

Have been busy attaching the gun port hatches to the hull.



Also had to add some plastic supports to give them a bit of strength...otherwise they will get busted off very easily.

[Coronasan]

I decided I was not happy with the arched windows on the stern so I hacked them off and replaced them with some laser cut frames.



I think they look better...



I also added the greenstuff "waves" around the hull.

I think the building of this thing might actually be finished.

She's huge! Very impressive.
I look forward to see how you paint her. A black pirate ship, ghostly wraith or a flagship naval vessel?

[OSHIROmodels]

The new windows do look better 

Getting a coat of primers will certainly help to pull it all together 

cheers

I plan to paint this one as a ship of the line complete with Black Scorpion Navy Marines.

A few pictures before it goes in for undercoating...

[Coronasan]

Going in the box. I'm afraid...of what might happen...

[Coronasan]

Well, at least its mostly brown now.



Whats the chance of getting it tabletop ready by next weekend?

Overall it came out better than I thought it would.



I got through a whole can of undercoat, a few bits did not quite get enough paint, but its no big deal.



Reckon the stern will take some work.

[OSHIROmodels]

That's turned out rather well 

Quite the inspiration 

cheers

Simply insane.  I love it.  Can't wait to see it with a proper lick of paint on it.

[von Lucky]

I have been following the build with interest. Have to say it's turned out very well.

[Doomsdave]

That is going to be gorgeous.  I love this thread.

[galvinm]

That is NICE!

[Coronasan]

Started putting some colour on it yesterday. I wanted to stick to browns, er, apart from the gold.

The original Leather Bown I used for the edges was too close to the rest of the hull colour so I decided to go even lighter with a Desert Sand.



So far so good.

Here is a bonus picture of the cat helping at an earlier stage. Just not very much...
