Hi Dave!
I built the hatch covers engraving 0,25 a plastic sheet and after I painted the planks using the Lifecolor set "Weathered Wood".
In order to obtain the "wood effect" I apply several very lightly coats, over a first base color, with the different wood tones contained in the Lifecolor set.

Hi guys!
I'm back to work on my model after a small break...
The painting and the building of the Minerva were more difficult than expected!
Howerver here is the result of my efforts

Yes, the "dirty" white and tha dark blue were wery hard to apply with the brush.
I will cover some little inaccuracy with the weathering...

Bento your completed camouflage work is stunning and on an amazing build :worship_1:

Question what method did you apply to separate each shape and colour in the camouflage pattern ?.
Dave Wooley

There is no such thing as an accurate model only the degree of interpretation

Hi Dave,
thanks for your comment..
regarding tha camouflage: for first I drew with a pencil ,over the an overall "dirty" white coat, the various shapes of the camo, then I start to paint, by brush, the blue and the grey-blue shapes. After this work I painted the black lines.
The draw of the shapes was very difficult and I had to try many times to get it right.

Hi to all!
After a little stop I started again the work on my Minerva.
The aerial platforms were quite difficult to do..

I hope to post more detailed pictures soon!
