Hey you're talking to a guy who took a nice crescent moon out of his middle finger the other day with an xacto knife...it's healing...

This is awesome. The technique is basically the one I tried out on my little corsair boat in my Ithilien thread but so much better implemented. Really very well done. And thanks for the links to the construction thread. Really cool - though I think he didn't paint the ship right - it looks too busy for me.Somehow too red. But that's just my personal taste.

Anyway, your ship Looks great and I can't wait to see what happens next!

Excellent build that sail is just brilliant

[Quendil]

Thanks all.  I am dreading painting it as never painted anything so big before and its all wood  .

The second sail is on and i am much happier with this one.

That is looking lovely, sir.

Great work so far - love the way you have done those sails.

It has been a week since the last post - where's the next update?

Well, I found it easiest to sprapaint the ship black, then spray a fine mist of white over it and then just use various Browns washes. Mind you, very thin washes, more water then anything. That way you can cover huge areas very quickly and have various colors on the ship to reflect the wathering and aging of the wood. Of course you would have to rework the metal parts. It might be feasable to remove the masts and sails first.

That is a nice looking ship!!

No updates this week as all I have done is undercoat the ship as have spent my time on my other hobby of messing about with old cars

[Vauln]

The ship isd looking great and the sails are amazing!

[Quendil]

I Have finally painted the boat, still have a few things to add and finish off.  Also need to paint some crew!

[OSHIROmodels]

Looking good but might suggest a bit more drybrushing on the deck to help bring it out bit more 

cheers

Looking more than suitably sinister.  Well done.  I agree some highlights or added colours could bring out some more detail.
