Jesus.

That's insane - what a feat!

**CommissarKhaine**

That thing is simply amazing. Can't wait to see some paint on it

**myszopek**

Thanks!
I'm still looking for a painting scheme. And I'm still not completely satisfied

**stonned_astartes**

That’s a hell of a ship, well done on completion and the painting looks promising.

**Frodeck**

I like the scheme

Enough dirty and rusty

**myszopek**

First turret is painted. I've been experimenting with salt chipping, I've never used this method before. Even pretty nice

**Lamby**

Just read through all 4 pages of orky magnificence!!!

Truly a scratch-building masterpiece!

Your salt chipping looks nice, one of the best ways of chipping I've found too - nice and random, especially if you use some different sizes of salt grains.

Looking forward to more updates!

**CommissarKhaine**

Salt chipping seems to he working out very well. Lovely work! One minor nitpick: the inside of the rusty bit pointing up is still white on the inside (unless another bit will fit in there, of course).

**Commander Cain**

One million thumbs up! Great looking paint scheme

**doktor_g**

Beautiful!

**myszopek**

I'm glad you like it. And thanks for the favorable comments .
Small update: I painted stern cannon shed. There is a place on the roof for two more turrets, not painted yet

**Camkierhi**

OK so you can paint then!!

Bloody amazing sir.

**myszopek**

Recently, I do not have much time to paint. Progress is therefore small.
I painted the skull for a ship's prow (the yellow eye is a spotlight), steersman and radar screen.
Enjoy

**Frodeck**

Waagh! Is strong in this one!

**Camkierhi**

Excellent work, the level of detail and the work you are putting into the individual pieces is inspiring and breathtaking bud, mammoth task. I am going to be working on a big project or two myself shortly and this is really making me think about how hard I need to push.

**CommissarKhaine**

Slow and steady wins the race, you're doing great work! For the ork's skin: if you want to take away some of the chalkiness (some people like it, some don't), a mix of 1/3 green wash, 1/3 yellow or brown, 1/3 water will add a veyr nice glaze and bring some warmth tot he kin.

**myszopek**

Thanks!

Unfortunately, the pace of work has recently slowed down. After six months it is still far from the end. Working on this model takes a lot of time and I'm bored

Either way, progress is small

**myszopek**

I applied a layer of rusty colors to the hull. All paints from Vallejo - base is flat brown, the others are: hull red, cavalry red and orange brown. The whole is secured with a satin vallejo varnish on which I will apply AK Interactive chipping medium. The bottom part of the hull will be light blue, top yellow. Unless I change my mind
