Final painting involved hitting the ventilators, steam release pipe, anchor equipment, jackstaff, davits and searchlights with a coat of Bridgeport Grey. The funnel band was extended to the top of the steam release pipe, and the openings in the ventilators were spotted with black. A little touch-up on the decks, and viola!
All in all, I am very pleased with how this turned out. I was going to stop with it built right out of the bag, but I could not resist throwing on some more detail!
Thanks to Joel over at Merrimack for sending this gratis! This is what TMP is all about!
