Although I am still in the early stages of my Triton cross-section, I am going to have to make some decisions soon. My overall plan is to paint one half of the model and show off the wood plus cutaways on the other half. My big question is about painting the hold...

 

Photos of the HMS Trincomalee's hold show that everything: planks, pillars, beams, etc, were painted white. However, photos of the Victory's hold show unpainted sides and pillars.

 

Any advice?

 

Regards,

Gabe

Gabe,

 

Whitewash was used extensively in the lower decks and hold.  However, it's Captain's choice on what the crew paints.  ;)
