Airfix St Louis Part 3 Repairs, Wood Effects and Casting Parts
Вставка
- Опубліковано 21 лип 2024
- The badly glued parts of Louis previous builder were all pulled apart and then cleaned up. I show how to repair any breakages and get the kit ready for paint. Then we explore wood effects with Lifecolor Liquid Pigments and reveal the colour scheme I plan to use. Finally I show how to create a mould for a missing part and easily cast a replacement.

Blue Stuff and Milliput has saved my bacon many a time, when I have lost a part to the carpet monster. Great work Harry.

Blimey mate, that's a serious amount of work you're putting into that and it looks great.
Hardly any sight of brown plastic at all 😉
Thanks Basil... the brown plastic was making me hungry... looked like chocolate
Hi Harry , just binge watching this series so i took a look at ebay and i am now the proud owner of Hellers 1/200 La Sirene thanks marra ..... i think 🤔 . All the best . Regards Gav.
Well done… I did a review on Sirene and Indomtibale… called Heller Fake Ships. Might be of use to you.
Cheers marra 👍 . Regards Gav.
Lots of handy tips, Looking great ! Cheers 👍
Thanks mate 👍
fantastic Harry
Thanks Tom
Blue Stuff looks great Harry - have ordered some up and must thank you for the tip!
Good to hear Alison... I should be on commission every time I promote a product LOL
Nice casting video. Love the decking and colours
Thank you very much Martin
Brilliant video my Aussi friend !
Glad you enjoyed it mate
Enjoyed the video Harry its all nicely done you wouldn't think it was the same kit that was in a terrible mess. Will look forward to the next update
Thanks Greg 👍 cleaning up messes is my specialty... I have a cat for practice!
Great tips on doing repair and restoration work, Harry. Love the corn cob holder scribing tool, pure genius! I've been wanting to try Lifecolor paints. I ordered some yesterday, so we'll see how I get along with them. Thanks for another excellent and informative video!
Thanks Ken... Lifecolor are brilliant to hairy brush, I use them straight from the bottle. 2 light coats and it levels down almost as good as airbrushing. The washes I showed using their Liquid Pigments are unique and my ‘go to’ for weathering and wood effects now. Just don’t get the paint too hot, it turns to snot if overheated, as I accidentally did by mounting my paint racks on a hot north side wall (Southern Hemisphere remember).
I had some blue stuff but was never game to use it , thanks for showing how easy it is .
Glad I could help.. go for it Steve
Great stuff!
Glad you enjoyed it Guido
Hi Harry, love what you did with the watches mate , the blue looks way better the red , tres jolie 😊😊😊
👍 Merci beaucoup. c'est magnifique mon ami!
I just wanted to say thank you for these great videos I have learned alot from them since coming back into the hobby. I do blame for for one thing ,you got my youngest daughter involved in the hobby which I think is great but my wallet is going to hurt.lol Thank for everything you do in these videos. They are awesome.
Better than her going out and taking drugs or ending up in a street fight etc. Worth every cent to keep your kids safe mate.
@@HarryHoudiniModels very true sir. I enjoy every minute building with her.
Lucky man... they grow up way too fast.
Hi Harry all coming together nicely and looking pucker. A serious question tho Harry, on the 3 fore decks how, the hell, would a crew member ever get on them. There must be ladders, some where, on the outside it wouldn't make sense otherwise.
Yes I noticed that as well. Checking plans I have for the Louis sister ship The Couronne, there should be more to the quarter deck going forward on each side of the bulwarks. With a hole in the middle having ladders down to the gun deck. I will mock one up with card to find out if it can be seen through the wine and cheese awning. If possible I can scratch the deck sides from card and wood veneer plank it. Then make some ladders down to the gun deck. This will be in my next video.

Well done Harry . I'm thinking those ideas Color Liquid Pigments might work for wooden truck and wagon panels .
Great idea... I think they make a set to weather vehicles..
Really great Harry, enjoyed the tips. I do plan on using them. Is Life Color, your go to paint. What determines what brand of paint you use? Thanks Harry.
I really like Lifecolor for hairy brush work. Great for camouflage patterns and any fiddly detail. Self levels, lays down smooth, and almost has the sheen of airbrushing after two thin coats. I have fooled other modellers thinking I airbrushed camo themes on armour and aircraft with it. The Lifecolor Liquid Pigments are now my go to washes and weathering paints. The fact that they remove without damaging the paint layer beneath is one of the best points about them. Plus the great wood effects I have managed to achieve.
However some of my Lifecolor paints either cooked in the Aussie heat or got contaminated by non stainless steel balls as shakers. Long story, all my mistake, but made most of my stock useless in the airbrush. I switched to Hataka for airbrushing and really like their colour range and the way the paint lays down. For priming it’s Stynylrez in all their various colours. I am pretty much 99% water based acrylic now with my model painting. Which I need for my health as I suffer from respiratory problems due to bronchitis a child. The only exception is Chrome for my motor vehicles. I have been using AK Extreme Metal, an enamel. But now have some Green Stuff World acrylic chrome on order. Looks great in their UA-cam videos. Other metals like brass and copper I use Dark Star acrylics. Simply brilliant water based metallic paints I use for shiny ship parts.
where did you find the planking for the decks I would like to try this on my next ship looks so much better than paint
I bought mine from BNA in Melbourne Australia. I explain all about it in Part 2 of this build seties.
@@HarryHoudiniModels thank you do they have a on-line shoping site since I live in tennessee?
You can get it here, but should be available world wide. Search “Artwox wood Sailing Ship”.

Hi Harry. Enjoying your videos on the St Louis. Trying to find the exact Stynylrez color you are using for the vase coat. Is it neutral or pale mustard. 😂
I signed up to support you on monthlyutube and my credit
card was immediately hacked so I had to cancel. May try the Thanks route again with a bigger amount.
Also I love the 1/350 sailing ships you are doing. I’m working on USCGC Eagle and want to do scale railing. It appears 1/350 railing a is too big. Any suggestions for the right size PE railing specifically.
Thanks again for all you are doing. John r.
Hi John. My primer is Stynylrez pale mustard, which is always a good match for 17th Century yellow trim, and a nice base colour to add wood effects. If your Eagle is the 1:350 Aoshima rebox of the IMAI kit then 1/350 railing is correct. Try using US 3 bar and cut the feet off the posts, effectively putting a bar on the deck.
Great tips there, Harry. By the way, elfenbein is German for ivory (which figures, looking at the colour).
Thanks for the info John.. that makes sense
Milliput, will it make replacement teeth?🙁
Well you could mould and cast them, not sure you could bite with them.. give it a try and let us all know.
@@HarryHoudiniModels 👍 You'll be the second to know, Harry 😉
All the best!
Elfenbein - translates as Elve's Leg
Thanks. My German friends now tell me this is an Ivory colour, Elephant Tusk.
SPRUE...... The repair kit RIGHT in front of your FACE!!!
Just styrene recycling... saving the planet one model at a time!
