Done loads to it tonight, not posting pics cause it doesn't look like I've done a lot (its all tiny stuff you can hardly see) I am going crosseyed. On the chains for the anchors, where they slide up and down the long slipways would the paint have worn off and would rust then result (I don't know what you call those bits so can't Google pics).

Ken's the name modeling's the game.

Hi KP.

Looking great!! Cool

I really like the look of those gun barrels too!
I don't know what those bits are called either ... on a wooden ship they would be the Hawse Holes but on a more modern steel vessel?
I don't think they would be particularly rusty though. The action of the chain running over the whatever it is would tend to wear away the rust and I think the crew used to heavily grease the area as well as both a protective coating and a lubricant.

Keep them coming!

Hi KP

That's about right for the weathering but I'd try a little light grey or even white subtle drybrushing along the tops of the low walls and maybe just to try and pick out the hatches with the same. The same idea would apply to the small AA guns later on too.
It's very easy to go too far though!

Hi all playing with the 1/350 planes this one I was going to have crash into the sea behind Warspite but I had a thought didn't some of the German pilots do suicide runs and deliberately crash their crippled planes into ships. If I did this I was thinking they would aim for most damage so I would imagine they would try for the bridge or one of the big guns and hope to hit some ammo.
If I did this would something like that have been enough to sink a ship like the Warspite. Obviously I dont want her sunk.

also here is some work I've done some work on Warspite
