And the next thing. If you build a ship from the sixtys the biggest problems occur when you are ready for painting. Because then you have to ask yourself wich colours you need. Well the only colourpicture I have is the pic below. (its the ship in the back unfortunately)
That doesnt help me a lot. But you can see the wheelhouse is green, not white anymore.
To find out what colours I needed I made colourcards wich I showed to some old saillors. They helped me to pick a colourmixture for all the components
Today I started painting the hull red. It was a drama! I got a cracked effect and had no idea what was the cause. I made teststrips with the primers I used and the primers apart and a clean peace. I found out it was not the primer but the paint itself and after some more tests I found out the airbrush thinner was the problem. Very strange because I used the right thinner and both the thinner and the paint were the same brand. Tommorow I will start painting again with other thinner and hopefully without any more problems.
Kind regards, Kees
