The Stonewall castings are not great - I like to think of them as 1/3000th models on steroids - but scrub up rather well. They certainly are good enough for wargames purposes.<br /><br />I will add some selected C in C models to complete the collection - mainly the early battle cruisers - but other than that I have pretty much most of what I need.<br /><br />All the best,<br /><br />DCDavid Crookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02497436789811496047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4472889370304077924.post-76633819368015816052014-04-15T03:41:20.976+01:002014-04-15T03:41:20.976+01:00Beautifully done, David !

All I can say is WW1 naval with loads of battleships (or indeed any ship) and very little in the way of aircraft has a lot to commend it.<br /><br />All the best,<br /><br />DCDavid Crookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02497436789811496047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4472889370304077924.post-11049785136554907842014-04-14T20:27:58.446+01:002014-04-14T20:27:58.446+01:00Hi Paul,

The decking is an old Humbrol Authenticolour enamel - Mast Oak. the tin I am using must be at least 30 years old and I was worried that it might be too bright but as it does not cover very well it looks kind of, well, 'lived in'. I really enjoyed doing these and just to let you know - H.M.A.S. Sydney will be getting a sister ship!<br /><br />All the best,<br /><br />DCDavid Crookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02497436789811496047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4472889370304077924.post-90961360752199927912014-04-14T11:00:40.455+01:002014-04-14T11:00:40.455+01:00Very nicely done sir!
