if only we could do that know I was lucky to have been brought up in australia and we spent a lot of time in sydney harbour around circular quay and there were ships in and out all the time even my uncles ship hms hermes and I will never forget a russian whaler/factory ship the smell was unbelievable but the size was beyond belief if only I had a camera. but I remember the crew were great ,I was 14 at the time with my dad but they couldnt show us enough,and the engine room was frightening ,I also went on the oriana and the fair star.

I agree if you are not confident with your weathering you will end up with some thing that looks like it's crashed into a portaloo barge.you don't need an airbrush I used to use powders, oil paints ect. I agree it's personal choice but I have always been a scale modeller not just boats and I enjoyed research into how and where rust starts forming and if you get it right it does look well
Hope this is a fair answer grant

HI Mark
the thing is the day a ship starts her sea trials she is subjected to the weather pushed to the limit with no one on board with jiff and a cloth. 😫

HI Mark the layers are that thin there isno reaction time bbefore it is dry sometimes I will give it a dust coat of Matt clear then when fished a couple more coats of Matt for a working boat anyways if it does call for a gloss do it with satin coat so you sort of scale down the shine. I can't get my head around people that do a build and paint it gloss no weathering all I see is a toy boat. A lot of people must not research

hi,Mark it was all same colour as you day different thinning and pressures I am lucky as my brush has an adjuster under the cup for paint flow. heavier rust put on with brush any panels I use an acetate mask. a nice effect is to paint a rust line then with a flat brush dampened with thinner and do a drag down motion. I will be putting more of the boat as I go feel free to ask what ever,the colour I used is tamiya brown x-9 and for very fresh rust I use humbrol 100 dont forget though the effect is determined by the colour underneath in my case white. hope it helps
