HMS GRANADO - full hull - POF kit by CAF in 1:48 - by Uwe

Hallo,
I am using this waterbased wood glue Ponal Express because of several reasons
1) good quality glue and available here (Austria and Germany) in every hardwareshop - one bottle with (I think 400 or 500 ml) for appr. 5 Euros - enough for one year of intensive glueing
2) strong bound / strength after some minutes
3) hardened more or less invisible
4) with some water you can every time re-open the glue-point

Only on some special tasks I use the superglue special for wood produced by Tidebond - the smaller bottles in the photo
the wood glue from Tidebond I tried, but I am not absolutely happy with the results

for plastic and metal parts I am using some times these glues Woldoclean (tipp by another member here)

Many Thanks to all of your kind comments and all the likes received

I started with the oven which is included in the kit - included are one very good photoetch-sheet and also some plastic wall elements

The upper part of the chimney I made already, because this will be installed at the upper part of the model

I first dryfit of the wall elements

I started with some colouring of the wall elements - never did such weathering before - so I am not sure, what will be the outcome

It is starting to look a little bit like bricks

Many Thanks for your interest .... to be continued ....

We are all loving the weathered/post use soot look you have achieved!!

Thanks for sharing the photos...now you have to share the secret processes you used to achieve these superb effects!!

Like others, I was skeptical when you showed the original plastic pieces for the oven but you worked magic!

no real secrets - to be honest -> I used what I had and it worked somehow
The basic "red or occre colour were the ecoline colours - and the weathering was done with a set from Revell with six different pigment powders

The colours included are Mud Green, Dark Brown, Rust Red, Sand Yellow, Deep Black and Snow White - so everythinmg necessary to produce a dirty and used oven
 
also the top of the blackened smoke chimney was done .... the final installation will be done at the end - now only the two pots have to painted with copper colour

Such beautiful work! I believe the stove's hood and stack are made of brass; what finish did you use to get the metal/pewter finish? It works SO well here.
