HMS Terpsichore-Repaint/WIP
I couldn't resist a first attempt at doing some repaint work on one of the SoG ships. I decided to go with the HMS Terpsichore because it's smaller and would give me a good idea how hard painting between sails (which can't be removed) would be, and it's hull 'out of the box' is all black to start with. I've got quite a bit of touch up work to do, and I want to put down a mat coating to protect the paint, but as other have already said just some simple painting makes a big difference. Tomorrow if my hands aren't to stiff from the extreme cold I'm going to try some standing rigging. Two photos to give a rough idea how the work is so far.
P.S. Following up on Eric's suggestion of a 'before' and 'after' photo I found one that one of our members had posted on his blog I believe (Barks)? So, this is not my 'before' photo, but close enough to give you some idea of the original sculpt.
