The brig appears to be missing a part at the stern, the quarter galleries and stern cabin windows, etc. Did the magazine version not come with it? For the Frigate it is a metal part. Also were you trying to portray a weathered/faded black with the grey on the spars? Usually RN ships spars were blackened or in some navies just varnished wood. Sorry age of sail fan here.
@@mekaerwin7187 I described it in my original comment. Stern means the rear of the ship in case you are not familiar with the term. Since that was 2 years ago I have since built the model. It does not have a piece for the stern like the frigate model. However most brigs that size had a cabin in the stern with windows but they chose not to add that to this model.
Thanks this had been very helpful although I must say a much easier way of painting the main body of the ship is to do it in peices, especially the red outline of the ship
Its essentially a Napoleonic (age of sail) wargame using almost the same rules as cruel seas which is WW2 small boats. the scale for black seas seems to be 1:700 scale whilst cruel seas is 1:300
Not in the magazine but they do give a link to print the sails for yourself - The box sets absolutely do! Each comes with a bobbin of thread for rigging, paper/card sails (painted by Peter Dennis no less) and printed acetate ratlines.
@@warlordgames I love the frigates, have just built it and was a dream to build and cant wait to paint it. im looking to buy HMS victory next up :) :) im completely sold. shame my other half isnt so eager for me to get more Warlord Games stuff :(
So the varnish does two jobs. It protects the paint from being chipped or worn away and it removes the glossiness that the washes can cause. For these reasons I always varnish.
@@PeteTheWargamer Thanks! Two more questions: Is the base primer required? If it is, can I just paint it on instead of airbrushing? Sorry, I just have little money to do this, so I want to cut back on cost.
