Thank you Si! Appreciate you hanging about!

I have been sneaking in a few minutes here and there over the past week or so and worked though some paint. First up was a base of white/grey.



I also lightened up the decking a little



Here I have been using the masking fluid again to help out with the camo. Here I have the white/grey and then a creme shade added...



Then more masking...then some green....



Then after a little more masking and an application of brown....I ended up here!





I am thinking things seem to be heading in the right direction. Once things set up, I will give her a clear coat and start working on superstructure. Should get some time tomorrow hopefully....woo hoo!!

Thanks for tuning in!

Thank s Si and Russ!! Appreciate the encouragement!

I have been plugging away at this here and there. Managed to get some paint on some of the superstructure and turrets.







I will have my share of detail painting and cleanup to work out as I move forward, but things are heading in the right direction I think!

Thanks for stopping by!

Stunning build, Todd. The paint job looks great and the colors make this one stands out in the collection of gray warships.
