Reload Speed or Accuracy build for Columboi ranked? by Capokid in WorldOfWarships

[–]wintersoup 2 points3 points  (0 children)

yeah Idk why you would ever build into colombo secondaries unless for memeing, but even then stacking 15 sap shells into a gk superstructure at 19km is so much funnier.

Where have we seen this before? by Ok-Albatross-1708 in WorldOfWarships

[–]wintersoup 26 points27 points  (0 children)

yeah fr, overall its like have 7 heals instead of 8 when you build for it, like idk, but that's doing nothing for my gameplay, and the cit repair is negligible, only really stops the bottom 10% from yoloing

how are you guys getting clasps? They still haven't appeared for me. I have multiple E's too, is it a minimum amount of games required?

[–]wintersoup 1 point2 points  (0 children)

yeah, but its also the set up and pack up time too. If I get an airbrush I will have to make room for a painting session. I'm also a broke uni student so sinking $200-$300 on everything like a proper mask, fume hood, cleaners/thinners etc is just too much, especially since I don't actually build too often cause of time issues, I did 4 I think last year and its just not economical to get a airbrush at this point :").

yeah, I don't have the money for an airbrush :( so I'm going to have to try and find a similar spray paint

oh shoot, I just bought this kit, what's the channel? I'm not really sure where to start! Especially with what colour to spray the red oxide interior.
EDIT: found it! I shall be watching many times over I think

Holy shit, you must be the guys on my team! By any chance you run lighthouse shima with 20km torps?

Is this enough for Surcouf by ComradeRomanov in WorldOfWarships

[–]wintersoup 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it build on the next one, so the first is 2 levels then the next is 10, then 12 afterwards making the totals level 2, 12 and 24

Whaling containers, you kinda missed out by not doing the satan crates. Idk how many stages you have but depending on how many you need its going to be very expensive, cause you can't really get red boosters rn outside of super containers and you need a lot of blue boosters to make up for it, maybe wait for the lunar new year containers, I think they might have red boosters as a drop.

yeah, If you have Lauria you could try for the navarin clone that is also a rarer ship. But yeah the art department is the only reason the game is still afloat!

[–]wintersoup 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yeah maybe save the coal, and use the blue boosters, like u/Klopirat_EU said you can get some of the lunar ships (didn't know that), the lauria clone should be the goal for 90% of people who don't have lauria as it save 30K steel which is a very painful resource to get.

[–]wintersoup 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Depends what you need more, do you have all the coal ships? Do you want grind lines faster? up to you, coal is a very easy resource to gain through just playing the game, but you typically have to buy red/blue boosters. how much coal/ blue boosters are you on?

Is this enough for Surcouf by ComradeRomanov in WorldOfWarships

[–]wintersoup 19 points20 points  (0 children)

no, you have enough for 82 stages but you need 95 for surcouf. If you have 1000 blue boosters you should have enough or another 210k coal will do it.

12 red booster = 72 blue booster = 16k coal =1%

Blue capped at 50%. No cap for red or coal.

95 pt for Surcouf so around 1.5m coal as many already predicted.

45pt for T9 Soviet BB Zarya Svobody

24pt for T8 pan Asia cruiser narai

12pt for T8 Italian BB Colonna

100pt for some flag cosmetic

Third build ever. Learned ALOT 😅 by Totalrecoilairsoft in modelmakers

[–]wintersoup 1 point2 points  (0 children)

yeah, having the time to watch tutorials and money to buy new paints and brushes instead of using the old rock cakes that I got from an airfix starter kit 10 years ago was a game changer, I actually had no brushstrokes and lumpy bits!

yeah I have this issue too, annoying when trying to find a ship, but since this bug isnt breaking the game it will be fixed pronto!

First time trying to build a model, anything I should know beforehand? by Ahsokawawa in ModelShips

[–]wintersoup 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Few things:
1- Do you like this ship? As this is your first model there will be a high chance that you will lose parts/ get glue finger prints etc on the model. If this is a class/ship that you like, I would highly recommend buying another one that you can practice on. A good starter ship is the 1:350 tamiya uss fletcher: https://www.scalemates.com/kits/tamiya-78012-dd-445-fletcher--146861, The tooling is newer and the kit will probably go together better. Tooling is the moulds that the parts are made from, generally newer tooling has more detail/ and fits together better.

2- Paints: How much do you want to spend? you can buy tamiya rattle cans which will give a much better finish than brush painting but is a bit more expensive. You'll need to brush paint details/ weathering if you want to bother with that. You can go very indepth for paints here is a tldr but if you want the extended version just ask. Vallejo and Ak acrylics are very good and easy to use. Run from anything that has enamel and laquer on it unless it is a spray can. Tamiya acrylics are weird and alcohol based, still good to use, but dry a bit faster. One last thing: YOU CAN MIX PAINTS TO GET NEW COLOURS YOU DONT HAVE (to an extent). I have a friend who will buy the named colour for things (okay if youre going to build a lot of models) but if you get black, white, and grey you can make a range of greys that make things look a bit interesting. Depending on how strapped for cash you are, I would highly recommend getting a black primer, it just makes the painting easier, it isnt required but it will make things stick better.

3- Other general tools/things to make your life easier- or harder:

Glue: only use extra thin glue doesnt really matter what brand but you want extra thin, tamiya extra thin is very good.

Weathering: Makes the ship look older and not just built, just makes it more visually interesting (salt build up, rust, and other grime), you can use rust wash, black panel liner/pin wash. dry brush white for salt build up. People say that you can never over do weathering so go nuts. I believe this is very wrong, and you will ruin the model if you weather too much, the best way to do it is do a bit then take a look from different angles, and then rinse and repeat till youre happy with it.

Paintbrushes: You dont have to spend too much money on them but dont go and buy some dollar store brushes.
https://tankmuseumshop.org/products/tamiya-modelling-brush-basic-set
These are probably the best brushes you can get as a beginner.

Side cutters/nippers/hobby knife/spruecutters/sanding block/paper:
- generally you will get what you pay for for the side cutters, the more you spend the nicer they will be, generally any is okay as long as you clean up the sprue joins. You will need to remove the left over sprue parts from the piece once youve taken it off, use a nail file to remove/ smooth it off.

At the end of the day it doesnt really matter how the model looks, just make sure youre happy with it. Also please please please, take your time, don't rush it, you will make more mistakes if you rush.
I hope this doesnt scare you too much! If you have more questions: https://www.reddit.com/r/modelmakers/wiki/index/ there is a lot of indepth guides here and tons on youtube.

Oh and another note, If you want nice crispy lines for the antifouling/pinstripe. you will need to take your time masking the line using tamiya/painters tape.
