I finished assembling the last of the ships today for the Italian pre-dreadnought project, at least until my packs of torpedo boats arrive from Tumbling Dice later this week. Here we have the turret ship Enrico Dandolo in her original configuration, three (very fiddly!) Regioni class protected cruisers and the two ironclad battleships, Re Umberto and Sicilia, which are almost archetypal pre-dreadnoughts in all but armour. I have also based up a couple of the Chinese torpedo boats that I'll be using as 56S class torpedo boats for the Regia Marina, with another eight on the way to make up an effective defensive squadron of several flotillas. I now need to texture the bases, glue the models down firmly and undercoat the whole lot, in the meantime painting the three ironclads for the Battle of Angamos.
