Thanks guys for the nice comments. I have now done both sides of the hull. I added more slime to the bow and now think thats all it needs. Onto painting the upper now.

Chris,
Brilliant work with the camouflage paintwork. Well done.
Must have been a bit nerve-racking when you peeled back all the tape?

Hi Chris been following your build which was as expected up to your high standards.  Beautiful paint job looking the bees knees THEN a shock to the system seeing your beautiful paint job being ripped to shreds all in the name of weathering  Looking forward to how she turns out Congrats on recent award well deserved

Thanks guys for your nice comments. I do like the camo scheme it is tricky to do. The hull is the easier bit the structures are going to be a nightmare. Chris On the bench 1/350 Revell Tirpitz Platinum Edition (Pontos PE and Wooden deck) plus extra Eduard PE set and extra MK1 door sets.

Hiya guys, Thanks for looking in and the nice comments. I have done the weathering on the starboard side now in the same way as the port side. I have also enhanced the detail on the aft deck structure with a wash and some slight highlights. Then stuck the wooden deck down. I have sprayed the various deck levels of the aft structure in dark grey ready for masking off ready for the camo.
