WIP 1/35 Scale D-Day Diorama

Wow. Wow. Just going through this from the start, it's mind-blowing. The attention to detail warms my rivet counter's heart .
As an aside, the sides of the ship above the deck are called the bulwarks. The top edge of the bulwarks are the gunwale (pronounced 'gunnel').

The air funnels can be turned to either point into the prevailing wind direction, to force cool/fresh air down, or away from driving rain/snow.

I know it looks like brass but that's just the lighting- it's lead foil, and it will be painted 'battleship' grey like the rest of it
I just need to ascertain which particular shade of battleship....

Hi Neil,
I suppose which shade of grey depends on your hangover after using all that wine bottle foil?
Just love the thinking outside the box solution to the inside of the funnel detailing. Spot on mate.
cheers
