| I know what you mean about the deck which is why I sealed the undersides with planks and varnished it as well as painting the upper surfaces. Consequently they should be reasonably well sealed from water but I wouldn't leave the model in a humid environment.
Opening out the flooding ports makes a big differrence to this model and there are actually resin sets that you can buy to add internal detail in the hull that can then be seen through them. Unfortunately I didn't have that option for mine!
The oil can effect is very ineresting and something I haven't seen before. I'm looking forward to seeing how this will look when painted up.
Thanks for the pictures, very interesting so far and you have only just started!
