Bumbury, I shape the hull "plates" on the frames (no glue, just to get the curves right). then I glue the plates to each other. I start at the middle of the ship and work to 3 or 4 plates from the end. I then glue the hull plate assembly to the frames. Less glue is better, I may not glue the hull plates to the keel on my next ship. Then I glue the last few hull plates on either end (they may need some fiddling!).
Make sense?? russ...

Hi
I read your thread breathlessly. Well made model . I am currently working on the same ship (also WAK). Could you help me in choosing the appropriate paint for retouching? Above all navy blue makes me difficulties. Have you used ready-made colors or mixed? thanks in advance for your help |

Hiszpan, I'm glad you like the thread. The kit is beautiful, any problems along the way were mine and not the kit's.
As for paint, before I start a project I custom mix all the colors I need from Modeler Masters paints. No real science, I just start with the closest stock color and add other colors until I get what I want. Hope this helps! Russ...
