Indeed, it's a beautiful model.

Hi all

The continuation of the work on the Seehund.
in first ,the grey paint is applied on the totality of the model

the same after the application of a "black washing"(10% oil paint 90% white spirit ) and wiped with a soft cloth

Then the center of panels is cleared up with a dry brush with of the paint has the white oil

i make the fading at the levels of the holes of floods are to realize with the white pure(oil paint ) stretch with the flat brush

painting finishes her off nicely!

LE BOSCO · « **Reply #12 on:** 03 Oct , 2010, 14:19 »

Hi gents

rokket ,thank you !but the painting it is not completely finishes!
There is still the application of a "burnt umber washing"(10% oil paint 90% white spirit )in the hidden recesses and the engravings of the welds

A view of the whole model

I prefer to go slowly for these stages of painting, for to manage the effects as much as possible!
the next stage "micro painting "and the rust

Nicolas

mmmm, apple pie! My Mom's secret recipe: slice the apples very, very thin, and use a lot of brown sugar (and microwave the apples first, softens em up!)

That sounds great! I will have to pass that on for the next batch....let you know how they turn out!

Hi
thank you gents for your comments .The seehund finishes ( he stays has to put the bubble and the "propeller")I do not go go farther in weathering

I attack the painting of torpedoes!!

Nicolas

Rokket · « **Reply #20 on:** 07 Oct , 2010, 04:25 »

Just right weathering..and very nice background, it looks like a professional photo!

LE BOSCO · « **Reply #21 on:** 07 Oct , 2010, 12:07 »

thanks rokket

for the background,it is a simple paper of color !the black paper of the begin of the post , is not the good choice for the Photographed model! I prefer the blue and the green papper, that returns better colors and nuances!
Photos of my "tins" (chock) in fake wood ,for my dioramas of the Seehund and VIIC/41
the second stage , a "washing"of dark brown

After drying, a dry brush with a Light brown Is made. The every metallic parts are painted whith a mat black one has one!!!

the final result

He still many to make

regards
Nicolas

Siara · « **Reply #22 on:** 07 Oct , 2010, 15:08 »

Nicolas- i would add the light grey to the grain of the wood. I think that sort of slippers were made of aged wood.
Also the coat of matte could bring the parts to more realistic finish.

LE BOSCO · « **Reply #23 on:** 07 Oct , 2010, 22:42 »

Hi Siarra

thank you for your interest for my project .my chocks are not finished!A light gray dry brush is planned,And this to represent the salt and the old wood!While taking into account, of the effect of the wet wood,which will be realized with of matt and brilliant varnish

Nicolas

Hello Nicolas! I do not have much help in the way of the torpedo tip color, but wanted to tell you your project is coming along great. Great bit of weathering....just the right amount. Looking forward to the next update.

Cheers!

Seewolf · « **Reply #26 on:** 12 Oct , 2010, 21:50 »

Hello Nicolas, your project turns out very nice. The painting job looks very good so far.
With the Torpedo.... I tought the Torpedo head is bronze

But then I read here, I belive it was Dougie, the different Torpedo types had different colors and I think that would made since. Simon made a drawing with the differnt colours for each type... my tip would be, check what type of torpedo it is and than use Simons painting

LE BOSCO · « **Reply #27 on:** 13 Oct , 2010, 11:27 »

Hi gents

thank you for your coments!
For the color of heads I was obliged to choose!!!As I do not arrive has to visualize the drawings of Simon , and by looking of photos in black and white, the heads seem to be painted in a dark tint(blue grey?)but before ,for the "scenario" of my diorama , I do not install the detonators . On a torpedo, i am going to put a cover wood ,and on the other one ,i make the well of the detonator

I thus painted heads in blue grey,And the steel bodies,below in the photo, the paint of torpedo is not polished

One torpedoes installed in a temporary way

He stays the contrarotating propellers to paint in brass

regards
Nicolas

What kind/type of paint did You use to get this nice metal effect?

Nicolas, the torpedoes look wonderful!

LE BOSCO · « **Reply #33 on:** 21 Oct , 2010, 10:10 »

Hi gents

I am happy,that my torpedoes please you!
Simon
This color of heads, seems to you be convincing?
Epheli
my paint for the metal effect it is "stell" from Molak , she is more solid than metal cote from Humbrol
and more and easier has to implement that the alclad!!
I do not have a lot of time to work on my projects has cause of the strikes!!

I still think that Alclad gives better results:
