IJN Hei Minesweeper

Hi everyone,
I received a commission to paint up this nice Warlord cruel seas ship, love the game and the models too but I’ve recently sent an email to my local group here in sunny Toowoomba and received some minor criticism on my latest project, a Japanese Hei class minesweeper. Now initially I used Tania spray (IJN grey) for the base coat, it’s very dark so I did highlights but I didn’t want to go overboard (sea what I did there 😂)! Anyhow a fellow Greybeard suggested that it would probably turn into a rust bucket very quickly, so I came back to the model and thinned some red paint with a brown wash and this is the result.
I hope you all like it and I hope it’s owner is pleased with my work.
