Torpedoes Away!

 

Before and After

Corrientes, Santa Fe, Entre Rios, Misiones 

Corrientes Class TB

I bit the bullet and based up four lightly tweaked torpedo boat destroyers (ABS 9) from the Tumbling Dice Spanish range as Argentinian Corrientes class torpedo boats. This involved removing the gun platform aft, cutting down the cast on base by about 4mm and gluing it to a 15x40mm MDF base, then using a filler and PVA mix to blend it in, sealed with a brush of liquid superglue.

I'm pretty pleased with the end result which looks much better than I thought it would. I have now got a solid method for basing small torpedo boats and similar light craft, which will be very handy for some other projects. In reality, there were only three if these torpedo boats in service, as the Santa Fe was lost in 1897, leaving the Corrientes, Entre Rios and Misiones to soldier on until 1925, despite being hopelessly obsolete!
