I think that you’ve got the “restorationists” ( :giggles: ) beat....

After returning to Dallas on Sunday I finally sat down to work more on the POW hull weathering. I sprayed some light gray in streaks to fade the paint and used dark grey for the chipping, Vallejo Rust texture and oils for the rust.
Most of the starboard side won't bee seen because of the bow wave and she will be heaving to starboard during the turn to port.

Next I add the PE to the deck fittings and weather that area before moving to the superstructure.
