I managed to finish off the three ironclads for the Battle of Angamos this evening, with a bonus extra of two ASV11 corvettes re-purposed from my Danish squadron as the Chilean O'Higgins and Chacabuco. As I had used the same painting scheme on these as the other Chilean ships it seemed a good idea to switch them over to the War of the Pacific, even though the new model from Tumbling Dice is now available. I will now have a go at adding some basic rigging and appropriate ensigns for both sides but, as I've failed to get this to look good enough before, I'm not holding my breath.
These look magnificent Jim, congratulations.

Thanks James
DeleteThey've come up beautifully, as always :)
ReplyDeleteThanks David,
DeleteIdeally I'd go for 1/1200th but I've got so much 1/2400th lead in the pile it makes sense to stick with the smaller scale.
Great looking models and I really like the way you've done your bases.
ReplyDeleteThanks. It's a lot easier to pick them up without bits breaking off!
DeleteDo you have a tutorial on the blog Jim as to how you paint your 1/2400 ships?…you get a really great effect with them…they ‘pop’ very nicely. 👍🏻👏🏻
DeleteIf you have a look under the Ironclads tab there are some examples. I'll dig out my notes when I get home and post a how to for you.
