Title: Operation Archery. British WW2 ships
Post by: Camthalion on June 27, 2012, 08:03:55 pm

My newest WW2 ships completed all Panzerschiffe.  Quite a few finished lately, but has been raining here for a week so not much else to do.

The 'Pink Lady" HMS Kenya and HM ships Offa, Onslow and Oribi for Operation Archery.  HMS Chiddingfold is on the way and I have yet to order HMS Tuna, the two transports I'm thinking will need scratchbuilding.

Nice...I like the water effects, especially the bow waves.  I've thought about basing some of my Dystopian Wars ships, but a) I'm too lazy, b) I don't want to paint anything else after I've painted the ship, and c) I'd probably guff it up.  And d) since I play the FSA and they all have paddlewheels on the sides of the ships, I don't know what the wake would look like...
