That was a **** week!

 

I've had a hell of a week, with the return to work screwed over by a bout of illness that knocked me for six for a couple of days, one of them being my day off, followed by some other angst that has ended the week on a bit of a low note. However, I have decided that the rest of the month will, on second thoughts, be spent painting my West Coast and Spanish American War US naval squadron, starting with the cruisers then following on with the pre-dreadnought battleships and monitors. 

They are such nice models I am reluctant to shelve them for another project, so I'm going to paint them sooner rather than later, with the added bonus that I can use them against my already painted Chilean squadron, not to mention the Argentinian cruisers that are currently on the workbench. This may take me all the way to the Xmas holidays at the rate I'm going, but that's not a problem as I'm not in a rush and it can be quite therapeutic!
