Thanks all so much! I'll put together a little tutorial to show how I make the shading work in case anyone else wants to give it a try.
Will post here soonish.

This one took a while, sorry if I made any mistakes because I'm totally wrecked!
"This is Olympic as she appeared with her first 'Dazzle' camouflage pattern in 1918. There is much debate as to what colors she was painted with at this time, so I have given it much thought and implemented what I believe the color scheme was. There are some who think she was painted a pale, cream color on the starboard side but I have used a lighter grey for most of the superstructure.
Olympic was given six 6" Guns (Most likely BL6 Mk VIIs), and some interesting platforms which supported signal lights. Mnay of her sidelights were plugged with specially-designed caps which mounted on a lip surrounding the portholes. Many of these plugs seem to coincide with the BL 6s, likely protecting the glass from the percussive firing of the guns."

Beautiful work! I'm guessing the post-war versions of Olympic are currently in the works?

Thanks folks!
@Heuhen, Thanks for your kind words! I was an avid follower of your "Heuser Yacht" project!
@emperor_andreas, I have only five more Olympic class drawings to release before I finish the mighty Bismarck! Olympic in 1918 with the second (and better known) dazzle pattern (pattern 19AX), Olympic in 1919, 1925 and 1935. Following that I will do two final hypothetical designs before putting my Olympic-class project to rest; RMS Britannic and Olympic if, instead of having been scrapped, she was purchased by the Nazis (who had a fascination with Titanic, as it happens. They made a film using SS Cap Arcona) and used as a floating propoganda piece, renamed 'SS Horst Wessel.'
