USS Robin - the basesView: Slideshow Mosaic List 1October 30, 2016A full insulation plate with the hull cutouts and preparation of the waves with a gas burner 2October 30, 2016Only after working with heat, the plate is cut to the required size. This makes for neater borders 3October 30, 2016White glue is excellent to smoothen areas that have ended up too rough 4October 30, 2016Thick wall paint is stippled onto the base to create the desired surface texture 5October 30, 2016The gaps between the hulls and the base are filled with ordinary acrylic caulking 6October 30, 2016The base has been sprayed green and dark blue - no gloss coat yet! 7October 30, 2016The areas next to the hull receive the first coat of colour 8October 30, 2016These areas have been sprayed green 9October 30, 2016Spraying at an angle, some nice transitions between green and blue are possible 10October 30, 2016This base needs a few weeks time to fully cure and dry before the solvent-based gloss coat is applied Comments30 October 2016, 12:10Christian BruerHi Frank, shaped by heat or by using a rotating wire brush? 30 October 2016, 12:35Frank SpahrOnly by heat!30 October 2016, 12:37Patrick HagelsteinThis looks beautiful!30 October 2016, 13:11Frank SpahrThanks, Hagel!
