Admiral Lazarev and Greig.

Hey Internet,
I painted some more ships and thought I'd put them up on me old blog.
In an effort to make my Ironclad games a little more balanced, I've done two of the most powerful warships in the Tsar Alexander's navy, the Admiral Lazarev and the Admiral Greig.

Both were interesting ships, both triple-turreted Frigates. Despite their appearance and low freeboard they were not monitors but sea-going warships.

The models are triple-turreted ACW monitors from 'Tumbling Dice's 1/2400th Range. Like all ships in this scale that dont have sails they were a joy to paint and took near to no time to get finished.

I've also, well, glued a little bit of paper to, the my model of the Great Eastern, meaning that she is now finished and ready for battle.

Ive got some more bits on the go, will post them once they are done.

    1. Hey - thanks for the kind words. The base model is the Ronanoke from the set "ASV50 USS Roanoke & Keokuk (Monitors)". The Ronanoke is very nice, but the the Keokuk only shares a passing similarity to her historical namesake, which is a shame.

    2. Nice thanks, think I'll pick some up they look cool.a few of the acw ships are a bit off from the ships there ment to represent but I guess that lets them stand in for others
