This is my first serious build so let's hope I don't mess it up😅

Spanjaard

Miguel Vaquero
That's really what's got to be the end of this hobby😃

Finaly weathered. I decided i didnt want to go to heavy with it, because i didnt want to ruin the looks being my first kit and all. Overall i think it turned out great, and was a fantastic kit to build. Maybe in the future i apply some more weather when my technics improve

I can relate to you with regards to weathering. I like my kits to look kinda clean, and there is always that apprehension on screwing up the weathering. But, as Spanjaard said, it's what you like it to be, so long as you enjoy the build. the said, I thought this turned out VERY WELL - the deck weathering is spot on. My only feedback is to blend the rust streaks on the hull a bit more as you can see on photo !6, there is a crisp line from some of the stains. It's a small fix, but the eyes tend to fix on sharp lines.

I loved this build, and hope to see more soon!

Miguel Vaquero
Thanks for the feedback!! I really appreciate this comments. It was my first try with rust so really I was going a bit blindfolded but I'll keep in mind your advise for future build or if I ever want to retouch this

Spanjaard
well done Miguel, very nice

Miguel Vaquero
Thanks Spanjaard!!
