WIP Mogami

No airbrush, no fancy paints. Just hairy sticks and thick Revell mayonnaise, uh acrylics  

Hull halves joined and front deck glued 

Lower rear deck glued 

Torpedo stations glued 

Front bridge glued 

Funnel glued 

Dry fit 

Pieces painted, part 1 

Mixed a reddish brown to match the deck. Quite happy with my hairy brush skills 

Even though the paint is thick, more layers are needed 

The paint really is thick! 

Mixed my own buff for the boats 

Glued together 

Added some gunmetal pigmet on the rails on the rear deck and the anchor chains 

Tiny planes consisting of 5 parts! 

Only three parts here 

Painted some of the smaller parts 

I used two different tooth picks for the insignia. The point cut off, and two slightly different diameters. Dip in red paint and use as a die. 

Loads of small stuff painted grey. 

Final assembly 

Nearly there 

Rigging underway 

Barely visible rigging
