Well it has been a while since I published
Part 1 of this tale. I finally completed the three British battleships and mounted them on the "sea" bases that I use. You will notice that I used two different colors on the decks, a darker on the Canopus and Collingwood and a lighter on the Majestic. I'm not sure which one I'll use in the future for British ships. With the white superstructure, turrets, and guns, the lighter deck looks a little "washed out" even though it may be more accurate.
Please click on the photographs to get a larger image. Just don't "notice" the touch-ups that still need to be done.

The ships have no masts and I'm not sure how or if I'll make any. And I still need to paint the wakes on the bases.
But for right now they are "battle" ready.
The two Russian battleships are still "under construction."

The lighter-colored deck is just a bit too light to my eye - looking good so far
Very nice indeed! What a great idea for the bases. I have to agree with El Grego; the darker decks do seem to look better. More contrast.
