Hi T Guage people

Just to give you all another update on how things are doing.

I have started now to paint it and it is looking some what better than before

I have used gloss blue 15 humbrol for the hull and will use the gloss 22 white for the upper decks.

hope you enjoy.

Regards
Graham

The ship looks very good while painting started. Congratulations. To get more realistic model I would suggest painting lifeboats orange instead of red. Very often they are two colours with lower part to waterline beeing painted white. Sometimes top is yellow. I am not 100% sure about maritime safety regulations but I think red is "reserved" for firefighting and coastquard. Probably you may find so me more information using word "SOLAS". The model is impressive !
