It's been a long time coming, but I finally have some non-primer paint on a Human ship. I picked up some paint last night, notably the GW foundation yellow that was the reason I took on painting yellow in the first place. I just did the base coat, and not the entire ship at that, but I wanted to get an idea of what my scheme will look like in reality instead of just how I imagine it. I think it will turn out like I wanted it to.

The brown will lighten up a bit, but I want to keep it dark to contrast the lighter wood of my ID. The yellow will brighten up as well, but the blue is about what I intend it to be. I'm not sure what I'm going to do about the railing, and I want to put some squadron/fleet markings on the hull, and then there's the base to do as well, but it's a very nice feeling to make some actual progress.
I should also mention that despite my initial reluctance I've settled on Space Wolf transfers for the sails. I found a big sheet in my box, and EV had another, that have a bunch of different wolves in roughly the same size. I plan on using a different design for each class of ship and varying the sail striping to differentiate between squadrons.
