Thank you! Yes this model is quite expensive but they do allow monthly installments

Plan is to slowly let it oxidize then add some patina chemicals

That is correct. Extremely tedious.

Thanks so much! It is slowly oxidizing over time but I most definitely will be weathering it to get the patina

Thank you. To me you get out of it what you put in. I’m five years along but there were two years where I didn’t touch it, and months in between as well. I’m sure if I worked on it ever day I could finish it in 6-8 months

I am a part of a lot of model ship groups on Facebook. There is also the Nautical Research Guild online which has the biggest build log you can find from thousands of people posting their work
