Ll llooolll. That's my boy flu....that had me dying ....almost scared everybody the bellowing laugh that I let out ...see myself out....see most of the time your serious but I knew ,just knew deep sown I side you were a humorous son of a gun....
Here's some pics of scrubby,scruffy ,dirty...I use these pics and I'll see if I need to do anything else..the model is warm and painted with any warm tines of reds,browns and beiges..this I'm well aware of and is purposely done as to be in contrast with a cool to warm base...now here's an idea that you guys can try I print out colored pics of the model at the scale it is about 2 inches and then some.then let's say I want to try and add something or cover up something..I'll paint it on the photo pic and see how it looks w/o touching the model...as for those who gave me the idea of stripes it wasn't going to work being the soot and grit was carried over..so I'm playing it simple.again relying of wear and tear due to the environment and historical time period..war ,piracy,kidnapping and capsize g ships after boarding...I'll am very proud of this model I couldn't have asked for it better and cannot wait until the bulwark base comes in .about another two days..then this will work wonderfully if the painting of the bulwark goes according to plan.stay tuned and let's hear it for Janny babe's again with clean photos.
