Thank you very much for this very quick answer

I think I´m infected and in a few month I hire a crew and sail as pirate ( Harharhar )

The three ship deal from Ainsty castings is my favorit

What do we suggest for painting? Spray black and dry brush in grey/light brown?

Yep, that's exactly what I did. Then touch in a bit of colour here and there.

Great. I got a load of car spray from poundland which will do the treat for this. Ive been using it on my mdf buildings and it's great for £1 a can :)
