A friend has asked me to paint some ships for him so I thought I'd post them here for everyone to have a look at. This is just the German ships and I'm still waiting for the bases to turn up (from Litko) so there still on there painting bases. Oh and the Graf Zeppelin isn't GHQ it's resin, Panzerschiffe I believe.  Robert |

If anyone is wondering the X turret on the Montana looks a little off it was miscast with two missing barrels and no spare, however many of the ships do come with spare turrets for such eventualities. I hope people can appreciate the irony of using a turret from the Yamato on USS Montana.

The British ships are now painted and awaiting the arrival of the bases     The only model still unpainted is a Panzerchiffe HMS Vanguard but since the collection already includes a GHQ Vanguard and there was only one of the class I've suggested I should convert it to the Space Battleship Vanguard to start my friends Colonial Battlefleet forces and He's very taken with that idea.

Just brilliant! You have done an absolutely fantastic job! Looking forward to seeing them based! Come on Litko, send those bases!
Space Battleship Vanguard? Now that's intriguing...

Really nice work man! Those look great. 1/2400 scale, right?

Here we go then, all ships based.   And some close ups    And because someone will ask about the expensive water effect compound that I borrowed from my wife's modelling supplies, here it is.  Now I can get on with finishing the space battleship. Robert |

I see you had them painted to match my ex-wife's work. They look good!
