1. Are you sure about the shade of grey ? It seems to me that this grey color is a bit too dark.

2. The underwater part of the hull (painted in red) would have a far better looking if it has a "weathering effect" : I mean not clean but with traces of oxidation (rust). But maybe it's too complicated to do.

Hello.
I have some photos made in same place at april 1940 - its look even more darker than on model. Seems paint was burn out during five-years sevice of ship.
So we have some sort of compromise on model.

On your picture, the light exposition is bad, probably there were some clouds above in the sky. It seems that the ship has not been painted in grey yet, you can still see the difference between the black hull and the white superstructures. In fact, it seems that the superstructures have been painted grey, but not the hull yet...


And there aren't any additional liferafts yet, which means that the ship has not been fitted for war purposes yet (troopship).


By the way, the ship had also some anti-aicraft guns platforms which I didn't see on your ship.

Thank you for additional pics !


In fact, despite of the grey paint, we can still discern a very slight difference of color between hull and superstructures : the hull has a slightly darker grey.

Hi everyone!

So, here you could find two ships:
1. RMS Mauretania with cured bugs
2. HMT Mauretania.

Hi texelbo!

Extremely well done, as expected

Just a question, in my installation i've problems with materials assigned to rafts who are added late in the war. Is this a mine ID related problem maybe?

Best regards,

Hi VonDos.
Honesty speaking it IS last bug of model - I done everything to resolve it but without positive result. Here were two materials on node: one for raft and another for support frame. It should have worked, but it didn't.

Hi texelbo!
I see, i've tested some "fast" solutions, but nothing seems to work. "Steel" texture still assigned to rafts' nodes, without assigned material OR with different assigned material. Really strange.
Could this be related with the use of 2 different materials, maybe?
In that case, raft and support frame's models could be separated into library's dat, with the boring need to use 2 nodes with a single material for every original raft into ship's dat.
Well, maybe you tested this months before my idea sorry in that case.
Just trying to figure an interesting puzzle

Best regards,
Vd
