More skeletons
Another batch of 10 cent skeletons joins the fray.
|
|
Skeletons
In this latest batch, I reduced the color palette even further. It's only five different colors plus dip.
|
|
Foreign stations
The last batch of foreign stations ships.
|
|
Heavy cruisers
Monmouth -class heavy cruisers on display. This 'economy' cruiser was popular for faraway deployments.
|
|
Heavy cruisers
The Minotaur was one of the most modern ships abroad. Europa wasn't really there, she just came in the same pack with Niobe.
|
|
Battleships
Modern battlecruiser Australia and two obsolete battlewagons represent the heavy section of ships.
|
|
More skeletons
Though I was shorted! This bag of 50 skeletons only contained 49!
|
|
Light Cruisers in New Zealand
New Zealanders paid for the dreadnought battlecruiser New Zealand and got these obsolete piles of junk to defend their shores. Wasn't the Admiralty sporting, eh?
|
|
Cruiser line
Light cruisers arrayed for inspection.

Another view of the light cruisers.

CL Hyacinth
Now, where's Onslow?
|
|
CL Astraea
Originally in South Africa.
|
|
CL Wallaroo
This puppy was used as a guard ship, which probably is testament to its condition.
|
|
Monmouth -cruisers
CA Lancaster and a row of Monmouths.
|
|
CA Kent
Kent was at Falklands, but several mistakes by me delayed her painting.
|
|
CA Minotaur
Slightly better than Scharnhorst and Gneisenau. Legend has it that the captains agreed pre-war that Minotaur wouldn't use some of her guns to make the fight fairer, should the counterparts meet under hostile terms. We never found out whether the promise would have held.
|
|
Obsolete cruisers
Niobe and Europa were among the latest of the first class protected cruisers in British employ, but still painfully obsolete in 1914.
|
|
Niilo's ork
This is Niilo's second ork. See how he painted the skull on the gun.
|
|
Niilo's ork
The second ork from behind. I think this is already substantially neater work.
|
|
More orks
Next batch of orkses undercoated, this time black. I think I'll teach Niilo to drybrush.
