First squadron is under the brush: Victory, Great Percy, Temeraire, Africa, Leviathan, Conqueror, Agamemnon, Ajax, Orion, Minotaur. This is tricky painting, I tell you.

I am aware that a few ship names reflect what should have been the reality, not what was.

[Lord Kermit of Birkenhead]

It's not the painting, its the bloody rigging, 1/1200th take about an hour per ship. 

[FierceKitty]

These are one-piece castings, so that one I'm spared. But I've done 1:1200 before this, and I feel your pain.

And on a less horrible note, there's the Emu War.

[Duke Speedy of Leighton]

Unless you're an Emu!

[toxicpixie]

You were apparently pretty much OK even if you were an Emu... out of 20 000 alleged birds they only got about fifty, maybe as many as a couple of hundred but you know how kill claims get inflated

Edit: Actually, sorry the rerun apparently killed a couple of thousand!

Another German Kompanie started tonight, with around 2/3 of the base colours completed. More detailed work tomorrow night all being well.

Here in Oz we never recovered from it. The shame of starting it. The shame of loosing...

[Duke Speedy of Leighton]

An awful lot of bases base coated. Just need to highlight next.

The peace treaty is a classified document. To this day the Strine government has to give any emu six pints of beer per day on demand.

We never speak of the third shame.

[FierceKitty]

The sheep do!

[Not Drowning, Waving]

That I think you will find is NZ.

Yes in Auz its camels
