Hello Guys

This evening I'm about to begin painting the camouflage pattern onto my Tamiya 1/350 PoW.

I've sourced my camouflage scheme from "King George V Class Battleships" written by Roger Chesneau.

For this build I intend to use Humbrol Maskol, something I've wanted to try for a while now. Guys whats the best sequence of painting for this task? Is it better to start with the light tones and the progress towards the darker tones? This is the first time I've attempted this sort of painting, so I'm a little unsure of what direction to move with build.

Thanks for looking

Marty

First, there is a nice discussion and latest least-wrong camo here: http://www.shipmodels.info/mws_forum/viewtopic.php?f=69&t=87307

Second, I would certainly build up from the lightest colours as much as you can.

Thanks for the reply...

I came across that post last night ad well by the time I finished reading it I was completely confused....lol

I'll start from the light tones and see where we go with it. I've attached an image of what I'll try and work from.

Cheers

Marty
