Seems that armor and aircraft are almost always weathered for"realism"Yet ship kits I see in various kit galleries almost always have a lookof being right out of drydock.Is there a reason why ships are usually not weathered?too hard to get a decent scale effect???Craig

well, it kind of figures. you have to be really anal to do all that rigging, rails, all them fiddly bits. so a clean ship would be a happy ship!(just kidding, guys, honest! put down those wood club thingies! at least count to 10...while i run.)
