guys I'm learning making streaks. It should be look like? for me it looks strange

Seems good to me. This kind of streaks appear after a longer period on the ships on the sea. If you want a "lighter" version then paint the streaks and soften them only vertically. Do not mix their upper part at the waterline. On the other hand did you use the hull color for this "try"?

Ya this time I mixed vallejo flat red with vallejo hull red. On the real it is darker. I took waterline from trumpeter's admiral hipper because I won't use it. If I have a choice between full hull and waterline I'm building full hull.

I made algae on the waterline and a few streaks on the upper hull

The streaks on the hull are good. I think you don't have to adjust them more. But the algae effect seems a bit strange. Shouldn't it be greener? And I think it shouldn't be so continuos.

they are much green but I can't take better photos

Why strange?

time to show sth

Why? Because the color of the algae is the same grey as the hull color in the picture. Perhaps you should use less light for picture taking. But if you can't take a better picture and you say it is green enough, I believe it

Looking very good to me. An impressive build in my humble opinion.

Thanks. I'm thinking about eduart kriegsmarine figures. Should I use them? Isn't it too thin? I don't have enough money to buy north star figures. Eduard figures I have from BIG ED for Z-43 and Admiral Hipper

Good work

and the fates of the figures are at your hand

You have to decide if you use them or not.
