In a way you are copying the manufacturing process of the "beast" and at this scale, paper is probably as strong as metal would be, I am not the least bit surprised it's as strong and rigid as you point out. You could compare it with the strength of a honeycomb structure ...

The dance of the model builder ... I'm missing the tune of Prokofiev's Dance of the Knights though, and see the oerlikons sway on the music .. Nice 3D, you found the website they've. got some real beautiful parts for 200/350/....etc If you don't want flat brass guns for example, or you managed to bomb your careful constructed ones, you might have a look there like OC did

Tell that the Admiralty, they sent them round the North Cape ... Thought the first streaks were hard ... toned them down ... now beneath the gloss they are even harder ... they will brobably tone down after the flat laquer has been applied

Filling up nicelyOC. You should have tried at least 1 whole PE gun ... do you have bluetack, you can pick up small itens with it quite good ... just press the bluetack on it and you'll lift it, first make thebluetack warm with your hands, so it adheres better ... diminishes tweezer consumption and saves you the time grinding your tweezers

Unless you can get a reference to the colour like the royal navy has - to a certain degree - or someone whom may be considered knowledgeable (I found there are no experts, although some pretend to be) you are fine, like RGL wrote in the previous post. I read an interesting bit on painting on another site, which said that because of the scale we will change the colour's shade to make it more realistic, so don't bother to much about it

Thank you for the likes and comments gents. Yesterday evening I rubbed the rust a bit down, and added the horizontal streaks. The latter I'll finish this evening. No pictures yet, battery pack empt .p.t..p..t...p...t....p.....p. So hopefully this evening. After that ... glossy varnish and up to the salt encrustation (Received HMS Eskimo last Saturday ... I'll have to look into the other WWII RN destroyer types, need to alter her bowline as well, like the other hull I've got)

A long and challenging journey, Michael, and the result ... I wouldn't be surprised she looks better than before with all the TLC you have given her. I hope she'll be out of the dark, into the spotlight soon

So you are human after all! Now you know what we mere mortals have to deal with on a daily basis ... So the grubby light grey is your "default" colour, and now you are setting up the dark grey, since one usually works from light to dark. If you want to match the camouflage, you can scan and print the example and use that as a template ... makes life a lot easier ... maybe even less traumatic ...
