Please accept my apologies on this, but sadly I did not record the actual painting process itself. Currently I do not have a proper setup in which to do so. Again so sorry about this.
I plan to but unfortunately I haven't gotten to them yet. It is certainly daunting when you first start painting miniatures of this scale. My first few attempts at miniature painting were nothing to shout about. But the hardest thing is to start. Once you do, and have a passion for it ... you'll by your own accord start researching paint techniques and practice willingly AND get better 🙂
What I did was to apply the Mr.Weathering Color enamel paint directly onto the plastic part in fairly generous amounts. Following this I wiped off the excess enamel paint thus leaving the wood grain sufficiently shaded i.e. details brought to the fore. This is one example where you do not need to prime, paint, and panel-line a part. The base molded-in plastic color was already good and the incredible woodgrain details allowed me to use the technique I just described.
@@brandonminshall120 It's been so long that I can't quite remember for sure. But I believe I used Ground Brown (the darker brown) ... at first it will look very dark ... you will have to rub a lot of the excess away using tissue paper so that you are left with what you see here. I hope this helps. ☺ My apologies for not remembering for sure. One of my bad habits is forgetting to write down the paint recipe of my work. 😞
Great fine work with so much passion 😊
Thank you 😄
Been thinking about tackling this kit again, never thought about partial pre assembly with the parts pre painted.
I kinda try to find ways to paint either individual parts or sub-assemblies with the least amount of masking needed :)
Where is the video in which you paint this masterpiece, my friend ?

I want to get the kit but the crew miniatures scare me. Have you completed them?

How did you paint the central deck to show the woodgrain?

What color of “Mr.Weathering Color enamel paint” did you use, stain brown ?

Hi. I can't do the water decal part. Anyone know how to do it?
I actually recorded the part where I did the water decals but unfortunately I haven't had time to properly edit the video and upload it. 😔
