While waiting for my Lotus' bodywork to dry, thought I'd knock this up. As mentioned before, I have no great love of military stuff, all that grey and olive drab.

However, I have a stash to clear. So I thought, OK, so aircraft carrier grey against a grey Pacific sky - fair enough. But what if it turned up during the Lake Michigan Pride Regatta? Let's see....

The deck's base coat is done. Decided to go with matt over silk or gloss - don't want it to look gaudy.
