Now what do I do? |
The Easter holidays are approaching, which means we'll be off to France again and I'll be spending at least some of the time on some sort of wargaming project, with a naval theme if past efforts are anything to go by. In the summer I enjoyed a few games of Broadside and Ram using my unpainted Tumbling Dice 1/2400th scale ironclads but they have languished in a box since then, which is a real shame. I had another look at them a couple of days ago and have decided to have another go at painting them up over the Easter break. I started on some of the French ships but didn't get very far as the thought of painting all the 'fiddly bits' was off putting to say the least. I think I'll just have to dive in and do my best but any tips or tricks would be very welcome.
Peter Pig 1:450 big scale pirate ships. No fiddly bits. Lovely castings, crap pictures on the website. Galleys and Galleons rules. Sorted.
ReplyDeleteThey look really nice, I would like a few tall ships to tinker with, I have the boardgame Masters & Commanders, which are very simple hex based rules and will get a chance at one of the wargame shows to see the Tumbling Dice stuff in person, but the Peter Pig suggestion is interesting.
ReplyDeleteThere is a blogger called 'Stew' at the address below, he does these sort of ships and deals with the rigging etc, it may be worth dropping a question on his blog.
