OK it's two votes for gray decks... sounds good to me and I have a darker gray in craft paint all ready to apply!

Thanks Ron and Bill for the suggestions.

Any opinions on the gloss vs dull coat? Maybe gloss for the cabins and dull for the hull?

Looks like I'll be finished in a week or so - just in time for the MEET! (whew)

Here's more on the build....

OK... time to put a wrap on the build. A huge THANKS for those that saw the finished project at the Modelers Meet. And extra Thanks for those that voted for me... somewhat embarrassed to say I was chosen Best in Show!

Here is the finished tug!!...
