I finished the hold deck.

The AAR is as follows:

1. Black base coat,

2. Stipple desaturated green (I used craft paints and mixed black, white and forest green). I did a couple of passes with the stippling brush applying gradually lighter coats. The colour should concentrate in the centre of panels and avoid deeper recesses.

3. Paint-on details like hazard stripes, fire extinguishers and all the gizmos littering the inside of the ship.

4. Decals. I have several sheets of DIY decals with some symbols and H&S signs. Very useful and easy to do by simply finding them out on the Internet.

5. Layer of varnish. I use Pledge floor polish for those bigger projects. It is cheap and works good over the airbrush.

6. Overall thick oil wash of 50/50 burnt umber and mars black. Then when it dries a bit of course wipe it off.

7. Black pinwash around panels and details.

8. Black rim on the top surfaces of the walls.
