Re: Anyone have experience with Model Shipways Ship's Boat kit?
Well, the thwarts are in place and the hull painting is all basically done.
I still needed oar locks or something and looking at boats of the 1800s, decided that I use HMS Victories boats to model from. So, I modified the gunwales a bit and cut notches for the oars. I had a hard time with the thwarts at the aft as I didn't really plan this out all that well. So, I just ended up with a simple one at the aft instead of the U-shaped one. I suppose at some point, I might rip that one out and redo it. But for now, it is what it is. The paint started off with Model Shipways acrylics, but they're grainy. So, I finished up with artist acrylics. However, the MS Hull Yellow was the color that fit the gunwales best. So, I stuck with that color. Everything was too bright then, so I gave it all a thin wash of gray to tone down the value. That helped a lot, but might need one more going over. Rudder, Oars, Cradle are next, then I think this mini-project is done! Clare
