\"Lower<\/a>There’s a part of any model project where it finally starts to come together. With Weehawken <\/em>it’s this red paint. All of the sanding and filling are done and now I’m applying color. This shot is of the first coat applied. Some of the raised hull plating detail that I created is barely visible in the photo; it’s hard to see even in person, but that’s how it should be. Weathering and detail washes will bring it out a bit.\u00c2\u00a0 I hate to admit it, but this is the second attempt at this red paint.\u00c2\u00a0 I totally boned the paint-to-thinner ratio the first time, and my airbrush decided to literally puke all over my hands.\u00c2\u00a0 I guess the next time someone asks me for advice on airbrushing I can leave that part out.<\/p>\n

\"Interior<\/a><\/p>\n

The deck hatches will be open on Weehawken<\/em>, so I have to show something. Here’s a shot of some interior details: pipes with cut-off wheels, cabin doors, green watertight door, and a gray strong-door (probably used to lock up weapons, payroll, etc.).<\/p>\n

\"Gun!\"<\/a>And finally something that I just have to do over. The gun carriage is in good shape, wheels designed by Gary Kingzett, and one of them built by him. I built the other wheel and the carriage. My father and I turned the gun barrel on his lathe while I was home over the holidays, but MAN, we got the barrel too big. It looks like some of the phallic graffiti you see on the walls at Pompei. I’ve got some brass rod chucked in my Dremel tool. Hopefully that will allow me to turn a more in-scale barrel.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
