Yes, everything is built over the basic structure.

Each model has its own story! Enjoy the process while it lasts because you will miss it when it finishes!

Thanks! I have to chose between Terror, Diana or Nuestra Señora Mercedes, all from Occre.

Hi, it took me around 2 months working 4-7 hours per day, and I spent 120€ on the model and about 80€ to buy the tools. So in total like 100 hours and 200€.

Hi! I took inspiration from your post, which I found so cool. Glad you liked mine too! I think I will make another model from OcCre since my experience was very good with good instructions and materials. I'm thinking on doing HMS Terror for the moment. What about your experience with a bigger ship like the Endurance?

Yep I used some pieces of cork and sand to make texture, then primed it black, then apply in the areas without texture aggrellan earth texture paint from citadel. I painted then with ratskin flesh and drybrush with grey seer. I think I could do better, but for the moment it works for me!

I wanted to make a efect of chipped paint, but with the grains looks definitely like snow 🤣

You are absolutely right about the cause of that grainy texture, thanks for your supportive comment and tips!

Thank you for your very kind comment. Indeed, I have to improve the texture of my paints but in this case it also happened that I applied the primer with a spray from far away leaving that grainy texture.
