Like you Jamie I've found recently that the day job has been getting in way of both modelling and catching up with what's been going on with BM so only just seen this masterclass in painting,  It is looking superb and I love your comments about why bother when there are so many talented modellers out there who are better than us mere mortals.  Well I can honestly say that i am learning a huge amount from this thread in weathering techniques for ships' sides!

 

I do also share your dilemma over the action damage.  I had the same debate a few years ago about depicting HMS GLAMORGAN post the Exocet hit and in the end decided to do it as a tribute to the men who gave their lives.  It has been seen since at various model shows by several former members of her ship's company who were there that day and no one has commented adversely; in contrast they have all said that it is a fitting tribute.

Not tasteless at all for me, one of the best models I've ever seen is one of the USS Lexington shortly before she sank:

I am speechless.  That is incredible.  In 1/700 at that.  And I am worried about painting 150 odd figures in 1/350 for my PU<A at Navy Days model.  

 

I think to quote from Wayne's World "We are not worthy!"

Stunning isn't it.  Marjin also did this: http://www.modelshipgallery.com/gallery/cv/ijn/Amagi-700-mvg/index.htm but I suspect his latest model of HMS Victory and Le Redoutable will be even better: http://www.shipmodels.info/mws_forum/viewtopic.php?f=59&t=167367&start=620
