Not the best fit, but I'll try to fix it with a little bit of putty and a little bit of love hahaha

Changed things up a bit. Didn't like the grey color, so I have re-painted the hull in brown using oli paint.

I've just started HMS Victory. Tough kit but having so much fun. Really made me want to get more sail ships now. Enjoy

How are you painting the "wood" decks - they're coming out nice.

@Ben M. I use revell and humbrol enamel paint.
Applied the wood color, then thin coat of humbrol satin Cote, then I apply thin coat of panel line accent color, to get that weatherd look.
But I am just learning by doing hahaha

Hah, I have been using the brown panel line wash for weathering too. I think in the future I will just use burnt umber oil paint mixed with turpentine - the same thing I think, a lot cheaper.
