The deck, dark grey base then two lighter shades to represent paint fade. Then a brown overspray to represent worn down to  metal. I have a tan overspray on the wooden deck. My plan is to do some filters and some paint chips and washes. 
 

as you can see pretty much everything else is the paint cue, which will make it easy to finish.

Brilliant as always, Greg. I'd like to sit at your feet as you weather your models - amazing!

You too?  I'm hoping Greg will do a book on how he does it.

Beautiful miniature masterpiece, Greg

 

A lesson in realistic painting and weathering

 

One of these is on my build list as an r/c model - and I have visited HMAS Castlemaine.  Hats off to the crews who lived and fought in these little terriers of the sea

Not exactly the same, but it could serve as a base for your upcoming RC model:

Thank you, YV.  I am familiar with Ben’s Flower class ( via your build log) but the Castle class is new to me

 

Looks  promising , and make a fantastic model.

 

slight snagette - I am a 3-D print virgin, but willing to learn

ps.  An even bigger hurdle is that I am a lifelong adherent to the build methods of Glyn Guest and my preferred material is a tropical Hardwood, Ochroma Pyramidalis.

Brain fade - failed to read the Castle class title and assumed it was J class

Another excellent rendition that in spite of it's size makes one feel that they could walk the decks!
