I’m posting from my phone so I’m not able to paste pic.
Not “Cama”Quality but after years (10-20+)of the ships sitting there I decided to start painting them.
I’m happy the way most turned out.

I think they look great! Never painted a micronaut but looks challenging!

WOW!!! That's fantastic work, Nashorn! Would you mind a quick rundown of your technique?

Wonderful painting. The flags are a great touch.

WOW!!! That's fantastic work, Nashorn! Would you mind a quick rundown of your technique?

For the early war ships I use a Krylon all in one Matte clamshell spray paint. Use very light coats so not to cover any detail. Then just army painter flesh wash for decks.
This was a surprise to me but if you uses army painter dark or strong tone on the rest of the ship it turn to a dark gray.
When it’s all dry then dry brush stone golem or Vallejo medium gray.
Then it’s just detail work on the ship.
It’s really easy and I able to finish 3 ships in a few hours.
For the carrier it’s all tape and airbrush. Then just detail work
Not really historically accurate.
Lmk if that helps.

Really impressive again - I honestly thought you had used decals! They’re great. The shot I like is the two vessels side by side for scale - truly makes you appreciate just how massive the carriers are!

That’s high praise coming from you since your work is the gold standard everyone is striving for.
Thanks

Here a pic gallery from start to finish.
Take about an hour minus drying time to get to last pic.
