The Hermione was built from plans drawn up by the engineer-shipbuilder Chevilliard l’aine.

Nice vessel!!! Building the same ship now.. what type of colors did you use??

 

[John G]

Thank you. I used Revell aqua acrylic paints. They have a very high pigment content and give a great finish with just brushing. However they also dilute well for use with an airbrush which I used on the hull initially but during the build there was plenty of touching in with a brush. Being acrylic the colours remain true which is very important when touching in.

Thanks for your answer. Think i need to convert all colors to Tamyia. My local dealer dont sell the revell type.
Instructions is mentioning two types og yellow. Pastell yellow & yellow. I’m not sure if I’m going to match the colors in the instruction sheets or just plain yellow
Is it possible for you to send me the revell color #??? I can then convert them into tamiya colors.

Amazon is not up and running in Norway yet so my plan is to test mix the tamiya colors to match the pictures in the DVD instructions… but I’m still at hull planking at this point so no big decision has been made

Hiciste un gran trabajo, los tonos de la pintura son muy brillantes se ve bastante bien, felicidades, si me permites una opinión mejora mucho si le agregas movimiento de viento a la bandera, lo puedes lograr poniendo un poco de pegamento blanco diluido con agua a la bandera y la dejas secar dentro de dos láminas metálicas a las cuales les das la ondulación que desees, saludos.

 

[John G]

Many Thanks!

Mira esta una bandera que le hice efecto de viento en uno de mis modelos.

 

[John G]

Hallo @John G
we wish you all the BEST and a HAPPY BIRTHDAY

Are you working actual on a project?

 

[John G]

Thank you for the birthday wishes. Yes I have started another project- the Constructo Enterprise Brig. I am going to try double planking the hull on this one . My first project was the Constructo Bounty which I single planked . There was nothing in the instructions about double planking and I was left with all the thin 6 mm strips wondering too late what to do with them. There are some good building logs for the enterprise on line which are very helpful.
