Camouflage on ships is a bitch. Doing it on the side of the hull is pretty easy, but then matching the pattern on all the upper hull surfaces is such a pain in the ass, so many angles and difficult masking to do over complex surfaces, and everything is tiny. That said I'm almost done with it. I'm going to make another diorama for this one too, this time hopefully with a better result than the New Orleans. I did put more work into it but I didn't like the result, I used too much cotton and made too many waves.
I got some signal flags coming in the mail and once I get them I'm going to try and fix the New Orleans diorama by airbrushing some ocean color over some of the cotton and reducing the size of the foam and whatnot, and then apply more medium gel to mask it. I might also try to lighten up the ocean color since it is a little too dark.
