I'd love to see pictures of the build

I'm in the middle of creating an album mate. It'll be her SM debut 🙂

Don't prime? Not even with my beloved tamiya?

Michael Kohl
Hi Ben. The engravings of this kit are so delicate that they loose depth with the application of primer to such an extent that panellining becomes quite tricky. I would continue to prime models where this doesn't seem to be an issue but modern airliners or small scale models with such fine engravings I will try to do without. I suppose propper surface preparation and use of colors with more 'bite' than acrylics would be a good idea to avoid issues with paint adhesion.

Not priming a model with fine shallow lines is a great idea. I would guess if you use stronger lacquer based paints its not an issue. Will try this on my next model with fine lines! Awesome progress BTW looks really good!

Tamiya makes "fine surface primer" I think for this application. I find it does not level as well as the regular product though.

Keen to understand your technique with these 1/700 ships, after a clean start - watching & learning Mick.

Christian Abraham
Looks like a great project

Tom B.
Looks veeery promising! These Japanese gunboats are interesting subjects which a nice little "brown water"-scene with that small boat should do really nice justice 👍 Looking forward to the final result!

Villiers de Vos
Fantastic detailed work.

Christian Abraham
Awesome build

Alberto
Wow, it's fantastic! Considering the scale you must razor sharp vision 🙂

Robert Podkoński
Awesome indeed! And there are sailors...it is beyond an ordinary man skills...

Shar Dipree
Fantastic work! 👍

Zbynek Honzik
Just as Alberto wrote! Unbelievably awesome!

Michael Schubert
That is incredible! I honestly can't fathom how you can get that much detail in that scale!!!

Alexander Grivonev
Incredible, the scale, the detail, the water. Magnificent 👍

Any chance of getting even closer with the camera?

Very fine; nice atmospheric vignet...

Neuling
A masterpiece.

Mick Markiewicz
Thanks a lot. I'm glad you like it 😉
I think there's no point going any closer, MACRO is enemy of modeler ;D

Marius
Very well done model!

Thomas Bischoff
great result - I like the used look 👍

Neuling
Excellent work!

Michael Kohl
Very fine Walrus. I like paper masks much better too. I had similar experiences with the Montex ones.

Neil
Very, very nice work indeed. Agree with Thomas... Love the used look and let's not forget about the excellent rigging 👍

Curatorm
That's a masterpiece!
