Your welcome....

That's very helpful Jerry, many thanks.
With us this side of the pond, any pointers are good for us ?

Excellent.
I will try to use that on a ship and see if it looks good.

I think the different shades could look very snazzy.

That camouflage is really effective.

Ah - so it's not just me? I was particularly struggling with the first two pictures.

Isn't it a bit early for dazzle camouflage?

The black band around the funnel top on Passic is probably a waste of time.

My monitor class ships are all painted metal with a it of rust on them.

Always put in a bit of grey in with the metal colour. Wether it is light or dark grey is up to you/ colour of any photos-pictures. Obviously if it looks dark go slightly darker type grey. Make the colour a metallic grey rather than just metallic.
You might be able to recover it slightly by making a metallic grey colour and lightly dry brushing it over the model ? It's only a suggestion? If not keep them as they are.
