Hi all,
This is my 3th resin based submarine. It was a difficult finish, because the resin is a very strange material to work with and all the PE is very easy to bend or break off once glued. I airbrushed the red after adding all the PE to it and hand painted the grey.
I tried to paint the letters in the name tag 'Mariotte' black, but I could not do it. I would like to have white bottom and black letters, but whatever I did, the black would covering the white. Any tips on how to do this?
To learn more about this submarine from France, build in 1908: www.argomodelships.com/Poppe_Model_Ships/Submarines/Pages/Mariotte_(Q-74).html
