And we have paint! And deckage.
I am really happy with how it came out, especially the midsection. The deck and paint hide so many sins. I also sprayed the deck to give it some different tones.
You can see I have drilled in and anchored some posts. These will help center and lock the superstructure once its ready to go on.
Mockup.
You can see how between the paint, the superstructure and the turret, the added piece of deck is fairly well hidden. I may even throw on some random boxes or something to hide it further.
I will say the deck is really nice but it was an absolute nightmare to get on. The backing was super sticky and I spent a large amount of time unsticking myself and other parts of deck from it. I eventually managed to detack it and then used acrylic paste to glue the deck down. This gave me lots of time to position it as I needed.
