Ian, for me Humbrol works beautifully. But some acrylics like AMMO or AK are very good too.

Great start on the hull, Robbo! What a beast of a ship.

Thank you Ian
Marco my local shop has got Revell enamels I've never tried I think I'll give that a go

Revell enamels are as good as Humbrol for pigments. Mind you, they are a little thicker

Right I tried it on the wooden base and it is absolutely solid, don't know what I was worried about. I'm glad as the base and brass cost over £20 As you can see the red is a lot less bright in daylight with no flash

Wood? There’s a joke there, but I’m not saying it.
Looks great Robbo and the red is cool too.

Thanks fellas.
Had to fix the base as I need to get the deck on and you can't get to the screws once the deck is fixed. I'll mask the base up to protect it

Ah Wouter, you are most kind. There will be no brass going on this due to the disability in my right hand but I will do my best mate
