How is it going Remy, you started yet??

Hello guys how are you?So i am not dead...

My shortest holidays are over now and here i am again .For me the idea to make a dazzle Mauretania is born when i saw the Baumann s kit.It s an amazzing subject and i decided to make my own dazzle Mauretania.It s a very difficult subject and a hard challenge for me .i hope you like it.i prefer put the accent on the painting work instead of the building itself,i don t think make a hight level building (with a lot of scratch work)but i prefer work on the painting job.I hope you like it .

Oh my, Remy, I'm waiting with awe to see your idea of a high level build!

My efforts at a Lusitania are going to look pretty sick alongside your ship!

Where did you get the bollards or capstans you added to the focsle and aft deck from?

Hello all,thank for yours replies.
Mister Digs,the bollards are made with plastics roads turn on a drill and work with somes differents littles files to obtain the good shape.It s very easy to do and the result is ok..

I am sorry but i don t understand what you meen in your last sentence (note to self:if at all........)My english is so bad...

sorry
Actualy i work on the funnels and as soom as possible i post news photos.Bye Rémy

Great work Remy, do you use an airbrush or just a brush? Your edges look so crisp and clear. Cant wait to see the finished article.

Hi mister Chippy,i use an airbrush and a lot ofvery little sort of brushs and a lot of patience and cooooling to obtain this reasult...

The building is not very easy ,great challenge as i say at the beginning...The majority of the airfix parts are build and now i started the conception of the scratch parts like guns,davits ,mast,life boats and rafts and plenty of other details...to make this beautiful liner like a troop carrier...

That's looking pretty amazing already

Hi Remy,
