Great stuff Ron. Love your background. A superb money saver as well - you just keep painting the same model to fit in with the season. Only downside, of course, is that in a few years you'll have a very fat Tirpitz

What can anyone add to the comments like that .
Matron was beside herself ( not a common occurrence ) and had to be given a large Gin. After rousing the Committee from the bar they fully agreed with her and have awarded you
Brilliant work , congratulations.

Tirpitz had many colour schemes.
She spent most of her short life in the Norwegian Fjords. 'A Fleet in being', She had to be constantly watched by the Allies in case she broke out in to the Atlantic and attacked convoys.
Because she was mostly at anchor, she had to be painted to match the shoreline which she hugged. Hence the changing colours to match the seasons.
I spotted these patterns on the internet. Take a look at WW2 German Battleship Camouflage. Some weird painting. At one time Tirpitz was painted like a row of houses! Now there's a challenge!
