Russo-Japanese Naval War 1904-05

[paulr]

I prepared more ships than would fit on my 6 painting rods

The first 'batch' filled the 6 rods, the remaining ships were put aside

When the first batch had been painted and moved off the rods the put aside ships were put onto the rods and filled 3 rods i.e half a batch

I spray under coat a medium grey then base coat in the appropriate hull colour

In the case of these Japanese ships a medium blue grey

So no recoating but expected additional coats

Filler, paint and PVA mixture used to create seascapes and ships based

Japanese half batch base coat touched up

Japanese half batch dry brushed & first coat of deck colour done  

Wakes and waves painted on seascapes

Any photos?

[paulr]

The weather is cooperating so I probably should take some

I need to get some matt varnish to finish the ships

[paulr]

Japanese half batch details done

It was decided that I should take advantage of the good weather to tidy up the lawn and some of the garden

[paulr]

Painted both sides of some additional bases for the Japanese half batch

Magnetic vinyl glued to bottom of bases

I sense that pictures are about to arrive? 

Who needs pictures when we have such erudite descriptions.

[paulr]

Labels sorted for the Japanese half batch and the 2 Russian minelayers

I'm short 2 bases for torpedo boats so need to paint another batch of those bases

I sense that pictures are about to arrive? 

You may well be right, as long as I'm not required to spend two days gardening  

Some pictures may have appeared in another thread

Did someone mention pictures

Japanese ships so far - to give a sense of scale the larger bases are 75x30mm and the smaller 50x15mm
