Boot Topping

I've been tied up with number one son's UCAS form this evening, so painting has been very much an afterthought. I have added a bit more blocking in on the Royal Navy ironclads, however, including the boot topping and white basecoat. It's all a bit slapdash at the moment but you can see what I have done to the Independencia far more in order to convert her into HMS Pallas, with the central box battery now clearly demarcated by a slightly messy white line. This will all be given a good wash and a highlight to make it look ship shape, before I tidy it up with some fine black lining out.
