Thanks. My good eye thought it looked okay. Playing a version of the game I sometimes play when painting wheels. Paint one color, remask and paint the other color...repeat.

Not a lot to work with...for me, anyway. Gunmetal barrels and some wash. Ta Da....we are done.

Thanks. I kinda wrecked, though. I should have clear coated it...duh. All is fixable, though.

Here is where I'm leaving the hull ...I think. For some reason, I like the look of it being a bit splotchy and over brushed....that and I'm tired of masking, painting, masking, painting, well, you get the picture.

deck cleats are on, that is about all the building that i've done.
