    Impressive work, Keith @greenterrorz
    That's a lot of bending you have done.

    Wow, Keith @greenterrorz, this is a really big project. All of that PE makes my head hurt. Looking forward to seeing this come together.

    Thank you all!

    I have went ahead and did some priming and also painted some torpedos that are stored internally.

    The Hull is officially painted.

    I decided to do black pre-shading followed by randomized mottles of yellow, red, and hull red. For my top coat, I did 50-50 Tamiya Red and Tamiya Hull Red. The reason I chose to mix the Red/Hull Red for the topcoat is because the regular red was too bright, and the hull red was too dark in my opinion.






    This will need to cure for a few days before I can mask it up and do the upper section.

    Bottom painting looks great, Keith @greenterrorz. Working in sub-assemblies is the only way to get through a complicated build like this.

    @johnb @fiveten @gblair

    Thank you all.

    Yeah I’m finding it better to do small sections at a time to completion versus following the instructions from Tamiya.

    The MOgami build is coming along nicely Keith (@greenterroz). I like how you did that hull red. Looks nice and realistic. I'll have to remember that whenever I get to my one a only one ship model (Fletcher class destroyer).

    Thanks @clipper. I had seen the idea originally on YouTube where someone used orange as a base under red. The more variation in coloration, the more depth you can achieve.

    Last night I was able to get some more work done on the Mogami:




    Cheers!

    The multi layered paint approach has been one of the best techniques I've learned in recent years. It has improved my satisfaction with my own model painting.
