Update
Cargo hatch virtually finished, just a bit of varnish required. Deckhouse slowly getting fitted out. Funnel is done but not yet fixed, wheel house coming on
Welcome back
Following the success of making the Tug Ulises, I have taken on a new challenge to build the Clyde Puffer Northlight kit by Caldercraft.
Looking good
ReplyDeleteI am just starting to build my North Light model. Please can you give some advice on paint type and colours needed. A source would also be very helpful. Thanks for posting your progress. It will be very useful.
ReplyDeleteHi Stuart, thanks for looking at my blog. I have stopped building at the moment because of a pending house move but am always happy to help although I’m not an expert as this is only my second build. I will put some more photos on later today.
DeletePaint! I tend to use whatever I have, for instance, the reddy brown on the hull below waterline is Red oxide anti rust paint! I also use acrylic paints - the black is acrylic as is the red on the stack. I also use some enamel paints , Humbrol for instance do a nice gold and bronze for some of the metal fittings. As to source, I use local model shops or The Range have good range of acrylic and enamel paint. I have used the on line shop www.hobbies.co.uk for tools, glues, and other bits and pieces. Hope this is useful
