Brian,
Lovely work mate. I think the choice of a lighter colour is a good move. It makes the detail pop more and will look even better when the hull is closed up.

Thx Paul I think your right the lighter colour will make things more visible when everything is closed up

All I can say Chris is I THOUGHT it was secure but what's done is done and just counted 29 figures and built 3 for the front torpedo room.
