Darkhorse - a wonderful job on this working ship! The weathering that you have done is very impressive. Nice work on the washes. Congratulations !!!
Needs seagulls!
I can smell the fish.
How do you apply flag decals to flag pole please? [:S]
Hey Darkhorse!
Nice Job. Next time get the Hull a wee bit dirtier. Very good work at this point.Your weathering on the deckhouse is superb! There is one very important thing missing.Where’s the bunch of seagulls at the stern? Trawlers always had that escort!
My preferred method is to use heavy-duty aluminum foil (I use restaurant supply house, not grocery store).
Find a way to hold a suitable-size bit of the foil vertical, then drape the decal over the edge of the foil, and allow to set up (a couple of days, at least).
Note that you can sneak a bit of fine threadinto this process, too.
Frim the foil to the edge of the decal. Bend the foil as desired (carefully, so as to not tear the decal).
A teeny bit of CA glue will stick the flag to the pole or to some thread to tie it off to the pole.
That model looks awesome! I remember that kit when it was the “Russian Spy Trawler”. I agree with the comment about older kits having their value. I have this kit in my stash and I hope that it turns out as nice as yours. Great job!
