Hi Bruce,
My first question, is what time frame of the ship's life are you planning on representing? A great book to pick up to help you out here, Bruce, is this one here...

And btw, mate, WEM colour coats are only available in enamel at this time (but OH, if they were available in acrylic!) Here's a great review by John Sheridan of the products:
