An idea for the Titanic, sinking and down by the bows with the stern in the air.  Somebody diving off the stern and people in a lifeboat holding placards with marks out of ten for the dive  ::)  ::)  ::)  ::)

Blue Rover, proved to be a struggle to get it anything like, I think my previous model may have been better.

Look here for the previous build

Thanks for your comments guys much appreciated.
Have now got the fuselage interior painted, and decal applied to the instrument panel. I made a mistake with the floor colouring initially, painting it a pale brown colour in readiness for some oil paint to represent wood. However, a bit of research revealed that the floor was corrugated metal, so it was repainted gunmetal and then had some brown airbrushed on the area's that had boots trampling over them.
I used a mix of RLM 02 Grau mainly on the interior, the fabric seat bases being a pale brown to represent canvas. I used a mix of black and grey to pick out the radio boxes and some dots of white, yellow and blue to represent switches and lights. Once painted the whole thing was given a coat of Kleer, then when dry a wash of brown oil paint to highlight crevices/shadows. When dry a final Matt varnish to tie everything together. The masking from the windows on the insides removed to show the bare metal foil masking still in place on the outside.
Finally the fuselage interior glued in place and the fuselage glued and closed up.
