I wanted to build a Japanese diplomatic ship kit since a while.
I had to wait to find new acrylic painting bottles and paintbrushes to color my ship.
But @GWVan60 has presented the same ship before me :scream:. He painted his like one I have seen on Internet before me.
Nevertheless, @GWVan60 you did a great job​:+1:. And I had promised you to show you my work.

So I decided to paint it with bold colors, red and gold notably,to make it impressive.
And, I found a picture of another ship that I liked which inspired me:

I’m very proud of my boat. I tried to paint the cabins in yellow and green as much as I can because the details are too tiny and paint all the cabins already took a lot of time.
I finally let the ropes and the sails unchanged otherwise it would have been too colorful.
And you may or not have noticed that I painted in blue and white the underneath of the boat to remind the sea and the waves.

Very nice, I like that color scheme!

I still wish there were more of these ships, I love them.

And more bare wood models, some of us like to handle the paint ourselves!

And the picture you found was indeed the picture I used for my color template.

I remember that you have another one in blue and white. Which colors for the next one ???
I remember that it was difficult to assemble the two parts of the boat’s hull - I was so scared to break them! - and the two decorations to put in front of the boat.

You have done a great job. Red and gold go together well so it was a good choice.
