Welcome to my blog. I have upwards of 100 projects in various stages of incompletion or total abandonment, so you may well find something of interest if you rummage about a bit. I concentrate on solo air and naval wargaming but other 'skirmishy' things quite often pop up out of nowhere, only to disappear again after something else grabs my attention. I even finish the occasional project now and again!

Argentinian Armoured Cruisers
I have four of these Garibaldi class armoured cruisers on the painting table at the moment and I'm trying to think of ways in which to differentiate them, the basic white and buff scheme being pretty much identical. Answers on a postcard?
I'd go for funnel bands. None for the 1st ship; one on the fore funnel for the 2nd; one on each for the 3rd; finally two on the fore funnel and one on the rear for the 4th.

ReplyDeleteThat's a great idea! Thanks :O)
ReplyDeleteI have sometimes painted the decks of ships of the same class in different shades of gray/brown to represent new/old or more or less scrubbed wood.
ReplyDeleteThat's another cracking idea!
DeleteI just put the names on the bases.

But the suggestions here sound visually cooler.
I use base labels too. Nice option.
