- In episode 7 I look at hull and stand painting. We learn about Cunard paint schemes and the Keel coins from Naval architect and QM2 designer Stephen Payne.
It must be such a great (and a little bizarre) feeling watching (and participating in) a model making series about a ship you designed.
I love watching this build, and the little fact sessions with Stephen are so interesting. A lot of little known facts and traditions are great. Thanks too both of you. Looking forward to more of this build and more interesting facts.
Another excellent episode. Thanks to you and Stephen for this unique model build series.
Glad your enjoying Dave. Thanks for looking in and taking the time to comment.
Hi Jason I’ve been watching from the beginning and I find this model a beautiful kit, I’ve now managed to get one for a cheap price so I can now join in the fun of this build. I’ll look forward to this next induction of plastic therapy keep it up as I’m looking forward to seeing her finished buddy 😀😉👍🏻🍻💙🇬🇧
Excellent video, She is starting to look like the magnificent ocean liner it is with that paint on. Looking forward to you next episode working on the stern modifications.
Thanks Peter, they should slow you down 😉
The paint is coming along nicely Jason!
Another little hint. To prevent paint bleed under a mask, spray a light coat of clear, (doesn’t matter if gloss, satin or flat) to seal the paint edge. Just need to spray along the mask edge. One pass should do it.
Hi Jason,
I found Stephen's commentary regarding the egg-based paint fascinating.
I wonder what happens to the "good luck" coins that are laid on the keel when a ship is later broke up for scrap.
Your ship is coming along great!
I trust your trip went well. 👍
Hi Ron glad you enjoyed, the paint is fascinating isn’t it. Thats a good question I don’t know 🤷🏻♂️ we all enjoyed Disneyland Paris thank you, was nice to see something other than my Kitchen after 18 months!
I read an article about the original Cunard red paint in the late 1880's describing the paint was actually mixed with butter milk and this reacted with the heat turning the red pigment in the paint a "brave" orange.
Hint, with micro mesh I use water. MUCH better finish!
hello Jason, I have a question if bought this model as well but I Was impressed by the paintwork nicely done!!. but my question is what kind of airbrush set do you have can you maybe reply with the specs? I want to buy the same one. my other question is can you use the paint that you described in the previous on the airbrush system?
I am looking forward to see a reaction from you.
Hi Yankee, it does not really matter what airbrush you use, you will want a 0.4 needle for large areas. see my video on buying your first airbrush that will help ua-cam.com/video/EpQkjYMGnZI/v-deo.html all paint systems will go through an airbrush if correctly thinned thats the bit that takes some practice to get right.
Missed the painting of the light grey waterline… is it a decal?
yes
Hi Jason. What colour did u use for the hull
I don't remember now, I went through all the paints in the first video as I recall
