Chilean / Argentinian Pre-dreadnought Project Revisited

ARA La Argentina 

That's an interesting mix!

I have a couple of days off from DIY, for good behaviour but also because the weather is rubbish, so thought I'd wrap up the leftovers from my old 'What If?' pre-dreadnought South American project. These have been hanging about for ages but just need a quick paint job to be finished off. The bulk of these models are riverine or coastal warships but there are some heavier units as well 

I've added in the two cancelled Constitución class battleships for the Chileans and have added a Regina Elena class battleship for the Argentinians, to represent the proposed Ansaldo designed fast pre-dreadnought that was cancelled before it could be laid down. I have a week or so to paint this lot up, so no rush but I'll get on with it over the weekend, so that I'm ready to start on the Napoleonic Spanish fleet at the start of September.
