Proposed Paint Scheme question
Posted: Sun Jan 21, 2007 12:12 am
Since I didn't have any civilian ship miniatures to enter in the Latest online painting contest, I have decided to expand my fleet. I have several small and a few large freighters that I already have pait jobs planned for. Most of them will be painted in corporate livery of one type or another... but today I picked up a large ore carrier.
My original plan, and I thougt it was a good one was to paint it in "BEnthic Petroleum" livery, but my son suggested I paint it to resembe a modern day VLCC. At first, I wasn't to taken with the idea... but after doing some web research and watching an epoisode of Modern Marvels that discussed the VLCC's)... I'm leaning more and more towards the idea.
Since I am still undecided, I thought I bounce it off the group of yall on the forum and get some feedback. What should it be:
1) Navy and Cyan with the Benthic Petrroleum logo amidship
or
2) Black keel, red from just above the midline down, and white above 'ala VLCC?
