This is my first project !! still under construction... :ph43r:

Kapal kurang menarik... maklumlah newbie... ^_^

Guna simple tool & equipment jer. Plastic model cement, cutter, 2 size brush, 2 color acrylic paint & thinner :lol:

I need an advise and comment(s) from sifoo & otai kat sini untuk improve my ship :D

Hey Syed, thats a nice neat build there bro, jangan kata kurang menarik laaa....

1/700 good to learn basic shipbuilding and construction technique, and I think you are on right path there....

Cant see much from the pic, but just a comment on the colours...is that the 1944 scheme? Grey looks a bit dark from the photo..plus demarcation of colours something funny there....Earlier was light grey then became various type of splinter camo.

Rigging and some enamel black wash/drybrush will be good...plus a nice base from wood also

Anyway, its a great first build man! Keep it coming :D

Actually it's not any color scheme for that particular ship... :lol:

1944 color scheme need to many variety of color = $$$ :ph43r:

Don't want to spend too much $$$ for new hobby...

But... I will spend more $$$ for next project :rolleyes: keh keh keh

IC IC...no problem bro, take it slow. Step by step from basic thats the way. You got a good start there already...

And no, dont listen to people who say you need an airbrush, pastels, PE, resin etc to be a good modeller (common ajaran sesat)

Bila mau kena teh, let me know

For your 1st build, it is very good. I usually recommend a good brand kit as the 1st build,as not to frustrate the modeller with ill fitting parts.

Take your time in the build. Ships in 1/700 are good subjects for handpainting .Just make sure the paint is NOT too thick..Go over several coats (after the previous coats had dried)
