Congratulations on your win. Dave Thanks Dave, and you CAN. Just coat your base paint job with an acrylic gloss, get out some oils, and weather away. If you jack it up, just wipe it off! Here is another one. 2nd place from Orlando IPMS Nationals 2012. November Class Sub Edited January 1, 2017 by DutyCat Content Quote Link to post Share on other sites
modelmax Posted January 2, 2017 Author Share Posted January 2, 2017 Gees! Gil, that is amazing weathering ma'an! I will use your november class sub as reference when I weather mine. Thanks for sharing. Ernie A. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
parche Posted January 2, 2017 Share Posted January 2, 2017 Pictures from a Russian drydock might be helpful as well. Not sure whose pictures they are, just stumbled on it in an image search. PD-50 drydock image album Cheers, Dave Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Did you paint your waterline or is it a decal? I was going to try to use some white decal stripes that I have to do it on my second YASEN. Left it off the first one. Also, did you trim the "No Push" marking (the big U around the bow). The decal seemed entirely too wide on mine. Cheers, Dave Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DutyCat Posted January 2, 2017 Share Posted January 2, 2017 Waterline was sprayed white first, then masked with carefully applied 1/64" graphic arts tape. I think decals would work fine, except around the curvy areas in the bow and stern where you will surely run into trouble. About the bow decal...I seem to remember hacking at bit off in the front center, but it has been a couple of years since I built this kit. At least I now I know what the markings mean!

parche Posted January 2, 2017 Share Posted January 2, 2017 Oh, and here is a shot of my finished one... Cheers, Dave Quote Link to post Share on other sites
parche Posted January 2, 2017 Share Posted January 2, 2017 Yeah the marking indicates where the "soft" areas are for the bow sphere and flank arrays. Since they are close together it is one continuous marking. It is to give the tugs a visual indication so that they don't break the GRP covers. Dave Quote Link to post Share on other sites
