Painting,   I do not make a brand new ship fresh from the shipyard. But a ship that has been at sea for a while. The intention is to create a somewhat weathered appearance.   The explanation of the color described in the book “Risse von shiffen des 16. Und 17 jahrhunderts” is very believable . So, for the color above the waterline, I looked for a reddish brown or chestnut brown color where a little  pale yellow appearance comes through.    Tamiya  matte p
