Nice job as always ! About ballast rocks you should look at what miniature train modelist uses to secure railway ballast, if there's a hobby shop near you they should have products for you. And don't forget to do a little "technical sample" before adding it to the ship, regardless of the affixing method you choose it's always a good idea. Don't ask me how i know XD, have great Week-end and thank you again for your quality content !
Hi Axel the stones in the next video have just been done actually and have turned out great. I just followed the method in the magazine, (white PVA), that said my brother uses great techniques on his model railway on the ballast and gets superb results. Sounds like you’ve done extensive “finding out” yourself☺️. Cheers Andy
@@A.MacDonald RAL 3020 (safety red) or 3019 (traffic red) are both great choices and if you want to go the old school way there's RAL 3032 (pearl ruby red) which looks the closest to old school cutaway (original cutaway colour was "millium red", in france at least, which has been banned due to the fact that it's a lead oxide amalgam red which was used for it's rust protection properties but was toxic if swallowed)
After "Googling" I must say the RAL 3032 "old school" dark red is what I had in mind. I'll easily get an approximation of that hue with my acrylic paints, I reckon.
@A.MacDonald your model : your choice ! But I must say I would choose exactly the same colour as it should go very well with the mahogany/sapelli stain of the hull planking while not being to intense when near the blue of the hull paint. Maybe make a few swatches of different colours to check on the best mix
Better and better with every new day!
Very entertaining update Andy. Especially liked the tops of those rigging bits you shaped, very neatly done.
Thanks Tony, much appreciated!
Excellent video Andy. Looking forward to the next.
Thank you very much, next video on its way.

@@A.MacDonald Some say you learn through your mistakes, then I must be a genius by now considering how often I did "learn" ;)
Harking back to last week I've painted my outer hull edges red. It looks really smart better than blue, yellow, black I did have.
Yes I think I am leaning to the same idea, like an engineering cutaway piece. Glad it looks good on your project.😉
