Once again it is I 007, if you go onto the Tamiya company website and have a search, you will find they have produced a couple of video clips of the weathering sets in us. It may be worth doing a search on You Tube as well.

Have a happy Christmas and I look forward to seeing the Bismark, once it is completed, having been watching the divers visiting the ship, the other day on the History Channel.

Thanks John for replying , i've already finished it but i was looking to give it more realistic look by weathering,but now i am in the middle should i keep it like it's now or should i weather it?

Hi James,
In my opinion that is a beautifully built model of a famous warship, which shows the care and attention that you have paid to the building, painting and presentation.
If I were you, personally I would leave it alone, as it looks superb and as it is, would be a shame to possibly not be satisfied, when you commit to adding weathering. I would suggest that you practice on some other models, as this one could happily stay as a great display piece.
I think you can be very proud of the outcome of your modelling skill.

Any way thanks for sharing her and I hope you have a very Happy Christmas and a bright New Year.

Aye,

John

Hi John
Thanks for the encouraging words, & I think I will go with you that I should practice more in weathering before trying anything .
By the way few days ago I started my new project the enterprise ( Big E ) , I already painted the bottom's hull but the color appeared to be a little bit glossy ( I used TS-39) I was thinking yesterday, should I repaint it after sanding the bottom & that will take long time ,or over paint it ,or leave it even if it looks a little bit glossy .

Thanks any way .
Happy new year

Hi 007,

Rather than sanding back and risking damaging such a beautiful moulding, it would not be wrong to have a slightly satin sheen, or you could always buy some flat/matt varnish and adjust the finish later on.

I am jealous as the Big 'E' is a kit that I have wanted for years, but never had the disposible money, when I have seen it One day.

Merry Christmas,

John

Hi john
You shouldn’t be jealous because I am going to keep you updated from time to time with the progress ,also I will be looking for your opinion in some problems I will face during the modelling ,so you will be kind of partner in this project .
Thanks any way

I think that there are a couple of uploaded videos that would teach you how to handle and do this. And looking t the things that are made available, I don't think there is any reason why you should not be able to do so.

The posted ones are a goof mix of steps for newbies and for those who want to be better at their craft just like that.
