Change of Plan...not the first, won't be the last!

After preparing the Turkish warships for the WW1 Black Sea project I have realised that I don't really have enough to cover what I need. As a result, I'm going to reinvent the project as a Chase of the Goeben mini-campaign, using my stash of Tumbling Dice models and some additional ships that I'll order at the weekend.

In the meantime, I'm going to use the time I have left to paint the Chilean and Argentinian ships left over from my South American 'What If?' naval project, along with some merchant shipping for convoy scenarios. This will be a good use of what time I can muster before I head off to France in a couple of weeks.

Spanish Napoleonic Fleet in a Box.

Whatever happens, I'm going to be packing my Spanish 1/2400th scale models to assemble and potentially paint while on holiday in Brittany. I've got a pretty fool proof method for painting these Tumbling Dice models and they don't require a massive selection of paint shades or washes, so it shouldn't be too much of a job to get at least some of the fleet built, based and brushed up. There are a few extra French ships included in the mix and I might even have a go at some American ones too for the Quasi War of 1800. 

Back of Beyond Ragged Russians

Another option for my holiday project is to clean and base up the extra units I need to build a ragged White Russian army for the Back of Beyond. I gathered the figures, guns and vehicles for this earlier this year, to add to my existing painted White Russian units. This would be a simple and enjoyable little project for a week or so and would give me the nucleus of a third army to use alongside my Bolsheviks and Expedition forces. Good plan!
