I’ve been rather busy with work and other ‘real world’ nonsense recently, but have finally managed to find the time to do a little post.
I’ve been bashing on with my ill guided 1/2400th scale naval project recently, and as well as painting up a bunch of models from Tumbling Dice (I’ll post up some picts at some point) I realised that I there were a fair few ships that I couldn’t actually buy models for. I thought to myself, ‘1/2400th? That’s really diddilly. I recon I could do that.’ So I did.
First up, and for the Americans, the Ironclad Frigate USS New Ironsides
Fallowing her in-line, the Armoured Ram-Cruiser ‘USS/CSS Stonewall’
A little more random, a generic box-battery ship. Brazil had a few like this. I really don’t like the model though, and can’t see me using it much.
And now, proving that I am a little too obsessed with the Peruvian Navy, The Monitor BAP Manco Capac
BAP Atahuallpa
And the delightful Peruvian built monitor/gunboat, BAP Victoria
And a group shot
What do you all think? I was generally chuffed with them to be honest. I’ll put up painted pictures of these and others soon.
Those are very nice. Can't wait to see them painted.
ReplyDeletePerhaps in the next photo-shoot you could put a measuring device in the pic as well...
Ive got them painted now. I'll post some pictures up tonight.
ReplyDeleteHmm. Adding a ruler. Thats a very good idea.
