The Tumbling Dice 1/2400th scale Italian pre-dreadnoughts arrived today and they are really very, very cool. I am definitely making these my next project after I wrap up the ACW riverine stuff, as not only will they be very effective opposition for my French pre-dreadnoughts but can also stretch backwards as opposition for my Royal Navy later ironclads of the 1880's. I have about half a dozen assorted turret ships and battleships but really need some cruisers to round out the squadron and some torpedo boats for coastal defence, so may have to push the envelope out to the early 1890s in order to fill the gaps. I now have a few days off work in between contracts, so plan to get the ACW gunboats finished for a game, then move onto assembling and painting the Italians and French pre-dreadnoughts.
