WIP Mogami

Martin Oostrom
Smuggled this old stash dweller along on vacation. 😄
Just glue, sandpaper, hairy sticks and thick old Revell acrylics. What could go wrong?

Spanjaard
go for it Martin 🙂

Martin Oostrom
Working on it. 😄
It is really satisfying, just working with a brush. Not fussing about thinning and pressure and cleaning of the airbrush.

As i am someone who feels like they're missing out without an airbrush it's nice to hear someone else praise working without one!!

Looks good so far. Will follow as I have never built a ship!

Martin Oostrom
Welcome Brian. If you want to be inspired by brush painting, give Augie a look. She is really great with a hairy stick.
The result with an airbrush can be much better, if you're halfway decent. Compared to this build anyway.

Martin Oostrom
It has been some time, but some small progress made.

Well, she's finished. I put the pedal to the metal and raced ahead. Pictures can be found here: Completed - IJN Mogami | Album by Mahoo76 (1:700)
It was relaxing to build old-skool. In the end I couldn't help myself and added a bit of rigging. If Lode can do it in 1/200, I can mess it up in 1/700! 😄
