Hallo everyone

I'll be posting photos of the whole works right from the start so here it goes!

Some more photos of adding some detail to the hull and making the masters of the dive planes and ruders

Looking good already. I am looking forward to some good ideas worthy of pinching for use on upcoming models of my own

Is this made from "blue foam" ? What skin ? Epoxy resin ? With glass or without? Just being nosey

What materials You use to finish so smooth the surface before paint ?.
I can see the plastic tubes but there all upside down .

Prof, I think they are tubes of hardener for two part car bodywork filler, the paste part is in the blue tin on the left. However that is part of my question too, the usual fillers (polyester) would dissolve the blue foam unless protected. Bassplayer will put us right.

This is absolutely right and as I mentioned above the foam is protected with glass cloth and epoxy. Prof, the final finish is sprayed on with two pack automotive filler.

Thank you Geoff .
Kerkyra ferry has to wait a bit. I had to finish this one as it is an order from a new french company that is going to market it quite soon!

THANK YOU YANI .

,

But I steel have a question :

- what putty / filler You use for smooth finished surface , before painting .
- do You know some soft putty / filler for brush applying ?.

MARIUS

P.S - Good Luck with the French Company !.

Prof
as I mentioned above I use a sprayed on two pack automotive filler-primer.You can buy it from shops that sell paints and stuff for cars. The smooth finish is achieved by sanding it with a fine grade wet and dry sand paper. The brand I use is called BODY and I'm sure you can get it in Romania. Yes, you can do it with a brush but it will be more work in sanding!

Starting the scribing busines

Mankster · « **Reply #16 on:** March 22, 2015, 12:42:04 pm »

Very nice. What tools are using for scribing and are using a template? The depth seem very consistent.

Here are the tools and tenplate I use. For more complicated shapes I make the templates out of cardboard or tape. For square panels I use the DYMO tape shown in the second photo, works a treat! There are many videos on You Tube showing the technique, just type "scribing"
