i look round and there is a guard type jobs worth.

Jobsworth type ? Oh Yea! I remember what it means - "It's more than my jobs worth to ----------" therefore he who uttereth such things is a Jobs-Worth Type.

The lower hull surface is then attended to. The lower surface has a mix of different enamels - silver / mixed with the grime black mix sprayed at different distances and in patches, but mainly around the scum line. Whilst still wet I drag a dry sponge from the top of the scum line down creating the effects you see above haphazardly along the boat.

After all this is dry for a couple of days I mask up the scum line above and below and the boat above and below and airbrush from varying distances some lime green enamel - just hobby enamel - this creates the occasional blob of green algae you see.

Great tip John, spent yesterday afternoon, dirtying up my Permit using this method. No way as good as the results here but gives a it a great look. I also mixed in some lime green with the dirty black/silver mix which also enhanced it. Scum line next then upper hull. Never ever really weathered anything before, so having fun, was a bit nervous at first attacking my pristine paint job with a meesy looking mix of paint, but turned out great.

Very good looking sub.Although it is unavoidable that someone comes over you vawing the Federal Standard Color Chart and disqualifying you right away.
But you know this is the most frequent happening in the modelling World.
My congratulations.
