Narrow seas, archipelagos, and coastal operations

[Rock55]

No need to worry about me attempting that. I do not possess the technical skills and knowledge to try it. Perhaps some of the others will do that, and post the results. Anyway, trhanks for another great model. Stay safe and be well.

I follow as much as possible the recommendations and information provided by my fellows, in particular Cardist and Rock55 about the scheme. Nevertheless, I am limited to the PPT palette.
But if you like, feel free to recolor.
Best regards,
Pablo

Thanks Pablo. If you're using PowerPoint you can have any RGB color besides the ones in the default palette. Just select your color, got to custom settings then put in the RGB values in each field.

To get the RGB values, I open my color reference image in MS paint and select a point inside the color I need. This works best when you don't have shading or color transitions in the reference image, which affect what color information you pick up. Sometimes modeling websites mention the equivalent RGB values for camouflage colors so you can use those too.

Thank you Lorenzo, I will need to investigate since I am not familiar with it.

I just did it. I check the colors in paint and then replicate them in Power Point.
A new trick! Next time.

Dear All
This is my interpretation of the T-14 IJN torpedo boat. Some conflicting information by several interpreters /modelers but no pictures, so I simplified. I need to review the windows and shorten them.

By the way, this with the Tupolev boat are going to be challenging in 1/400. As I mentioned before the Tupolev boat feels more like fuselage than a hull. Even the crew wore aviators like gear: Cap, googles, boots, and a leather jacket!

ps: Hi Rock55, I found a suitable crew member of PT-73, Fuji.

Here is a temporary fix. I found a few glitches and glad to test the draft.

Looks great

Hello again. I agree that the these are all greatlittle models. You are doing so well with these! And the figures make a nice addition because you get an idea of scale and proportions. So when you release these please consider including them. Fuji is a great addition to the crew...so when do we get to see him...

Howdy Pablo,

NEAT! Also, your sailors do add interest.
