What, no vehicle stash?

I'll have to whet your appetite.
I recently watched this vid of a German mortar carrier. I remember these being lethal in Sudden Strike 4.

That was interesting stuff - seems light on its' feet, didn't churn up the local park as much as I thought it would.

Well...there are a few vehicles and figs knocking about here, awaiting the day I return to dry land...




Even some of those new-fangled flying machines...




And support...




So I should be busy should the maritime madness ever get me down. 


Meanwhile here's some nice wallpaper of Repulse leading Prince of Wales towards their date with disaster...

Now that's what I call a stash.

That's a great wallpaper of the Repulse leading the Prince of Wales. I don't know much about the force z sinking, will have to do some Googling.

Time to give my hairy sticks a workout...LifeColor acrylics, at least my fleet should be the 100% right colours now.

Busy day cleaning up and feeding the carpet monster. Still nothing fixed to deck. It's getting there slowly. Not long until another colour comes out to play. Dithering over whether to shorten aft funnel as per the real Eskimo - only one way to find out if I can do it...
















Funny old kit, as mentioned. Some really nice details, but it's as if Trumpeter gave up close to a deadline.


Thanks for dropping by - back soon with more maritime machinations

As far as I got tonight. I'll tidy up the cammo tomorrow. Almost time to stick everything together. Hopefully, the carpet monster will regurgitate a couple of tiny parts in daylight...










 
Thanks for looking in - back soon with more miniature maritime merriment

That's better.   

Started highlighting details on superstructure - I'm thinking that shading with a wash would overpower everything, but curiosity might well get the better of me...



















Thanks for dropping by - back soon with more sea-faring silly-buggery

A liesurely day touching-up and touching in. Fully armed and everything finally fixed in place.

Thanks to the carpet monster, I used a Starling Models resin pom-pom gun - looks like I'll be using the chunky IBG pom-poms when I get around to the Hunt class destroyers. 

As predicted, curiosity got the better of me and I gave the torpedo tubes a wash - I'll redo them blue tomorrow. 

She's not glued to the base yet, but you get the idea.

Next up, boats and masts. Then it'll be time to think about the dreaded photo-etch.


















Thanks as always for looking in - back soon with more plastic pandemonium
