1/83 Revell Mayflower


Recommended Posts

Some deck and sidewall painting.The ochre brown (mustard) is what Mayflower II is painted, sorta. Deck is tan then chocolate brown and rear deck has some experimental gray wash. That  rear most deck will NEVER be seen, it will be hidden by bulk heads and upper decks. jon

I have more decks and bulkheads added. The fit is far from stellar, typical of old Revell from the '60s. I have to use twist tie turn buckles and small amounts of putty to make it look "floatable", fill the gaps so it won't leak. I can see lots of detail painting on the rails and bulkheads. I am almost wishing I had bought the Trumpeter kit. jon

Thanks, the hull bottom and stand painted. I also started painting the lettering on the stand. I need to get it on the stand ASAP, it is getting hard to handle. jon

Thanks, slow work, I need to mask the hull for more "striping". I have the masts started. I found some colors for the outside of the hull and another for the masts. They are Vallejo colors which seem to be good matches. jon
