HMS Wivern





I managed to squeeze a final Tumbling Dice ironclad onto and off the workbench over the weekend, as it's not too big and has a simple paint scheme with a minimum of fiddly bits. I painted the tripod masts and spars white, although they should probably be black, as a bit of a change from the usual. I've also painted the funnel to match my other Royal Navy ironclads and to add a splash of colour, instead of the actual black and white of the original ship. I should have two of these, HMS Scorpion being the sister ship, but I mucked up the other model when I was adding the tripod masts. I also need to add an ensign and some rigging but that will have to wait until another day. It's not a brilliant paint job but it will definitely do!
