Hi Len,
that is a great looking USS C.
Len and others, yes, I need to do some research on my own, I agree. I like looking at other peoples work as well.
I guess I am after the obvious: Deck color, bulwarks, mast, carronades, etc.
I had experience with my last plastic build of the wappen von hamburg of using several layers of paints, making the parts look really close to wood texture.
I see that Len has his mast whilte, mixed with wood tones, of which I like.
thanks everybody for sharing your thoughts.
Donnie
