I have managed to paint the first of my two fleets of toy-like model ships. The fleet comprises four battleships, two armoured cruisers, and three protected cruisers.
The title of this blog entry comes from a long-forgotten song that was sung by the Australian baritone, Peter Dawson. The song was entitled THE ADMIRAL'S BROOM.
I think that they look quite menacing in their mid grey colour scheme, and have turned out to look even better than I had hoped that they would.The fleet sails into action. The three protected cruisers are in the van, followed by the two armoured cruisers, and finally the four battleships.

Hi Bob,
ReplyDeleteExcellent job. These are nicely painted, quite menacing, and look like they are itching for a fight.

For a broom is the sign for me.

Hi Bob,
ReplyDeleteThey look magnificent and ooze that old school charm! I am looking forward to seeing them in action and also what the rules are like you will be using for them.
All the best,

David Crook,
DeleteOld School is exactly the look I wanted to achieve.
As to rules ... well my current thinking is a version of my Portable Nacal Wargame rules with a few minor changes.
All the best,
Bob
A fine looking fleet. The title is quite apropos given that the design is a bit of a TROMPe l'oeil.
ReplyDeleteRoss Mac,
DeleteThanks for your kind comment ... and the excellent pun!
All the best,
Bob
They are (forgive me for saying this) adorable. Bravo.
ReplyDeleteMichael Peterson,
DeleteThanks for your kind - and very appropriate - comment.
