Building the Kombrig HMS Duncan
1
September 11, 2024At first I glue screws into the bottom of the hull and drill corresponding holes into the base of the display box.2
September 11, 2024Then I mist grey primer over the mounted hull to mark its perimeter3
September 11, 2024Now any wave effects can bge sculpted using a putty of choice.4
September 11, 2024Making sure the hull still fits. This is followed by stippling white wall paint and spraying green and blue to achieve the illusion of a seascape.5
September 11, 2024Now additional white effects can be stippled on using a piece of sponge.6
September 11, 2024After ample drying time, a good gloss coat is added.7
September 11, 2024Final foam effects are added using white oil paint.8
September 11, 2024Now the hull is mounted on the vise for the building process.9
September 11, 2024The masts are redone in brass for better stability10
September 11, 2024I redid both bridges to make the "canvas-covered" railings.11
September 11, 2024These supports are needed for the torpedo net shelves.12
September 11, 2024The shelves are sourced, like all PE in this project, from my stash of WEM PE sets.13
September 11, 2024The Kombrig boats are excellent little items.14
September 11, 2024The Victorian livery needed a lot of masking, but it was worth the effort.15
September 11, 2024The boat deck and the funnels have been added.16
September 11, 2024For the rigging, 0.06 mm Modelkasten wire was used. Very handy.17
September 11, 2024One of the masts after adding more PE and painting.18
September 11, 2024I always build from the centre to the periphery to minimize the risk of collateral damage. Hence the start on the boat deck and bridges.19
September 11, 2024Rigging the model and nearing completion. The big screw will be used to hold the model when it is transferred from the building vise to its base.
