There are also very good articles on the topic in the Mariners Mirror. I forget the sources, but Red Ochre was removed from the approved Admiralty list of paint pigments in 1807. So for the “real” Surprise red would be fine if you chose to model that. But for the “fictional” Surprise many of the stories are based around historical event in the 1808 - 1817 time frame. So like Chris I will be following the Lavery/Hunt book as my reference. Will be nice to see something different to red ochre! 😁

Also glad to see you back, wonderful work!

Congratulations Dan, what a lovely looking Ship in the sunshine! 😎

Really nice Jack! Love the little details you added. -
Looking very good Alan, that PE mast is more than a “bit” of an improvement!

That copper plate work has come out very nicely David. 👏
-
Wonderful work again Chris, and such an attractive colour scheme!
-
Great painting Alan

Now that is what I call a Workshop! I hope you have many happy hours in there and look forward to seeing Victory and Triton updates soon! 😀

Centurion/Agamemnon, you absolutely have to do one, erm no, you have to do both of them! As to Russell Crow at 1/64 scale, with my eyesight passing for human will do! 🤣
-
At least hundreds, but not too many I don’t want Chris retiring before he has done Centurion! 😆
-
Very tidy Dave, looks great!
-
Thats a good reference you shared Alan, it is difficult looking at b&w photos to have guess at what the actual colours were.

Another amazing miniature Alan, you need to do the old trick of showing a matchstick next to your builds to show their scale!

Superb workmanship the planking and completed painting is so neat!

For those that might be interested, I saw another Gannet up close last week while on holiday. This example is at the Midlands Air Museum on the edge of Coventry Airport. Unfortunately suffering a little for being stored outside, but they also have a really nice example of the double Mamba engine inside one of the hangers. Link for the Midlands Air museum here:- https://midlandairmuseum.uk/ I also got to go inside the Vulcan cockpit and one or two others like the Meteor they have. 😁

@king derelict Hi Alan, hope you don't mind me adding to this log from last year, but I got to see an Argosy last week, and go in it! 😁 This example is at the Midlands Air Museum on the edge of Coventry Airport. It is suffering a bit for being stored outside, but not much option for most museums for an aircraft of this size. Also hard to get far enough away from it to get a decent picture, so apologies, thought you and others might be interested.

Really interesting to see the background research and colour pictures Alan. I have future project that has a similar scheme; Western approaches white/blue/green, but I am not sure which was the dominant colour (between the blue or green over the white) for my subject; HMS Knaresborough Castle.
