[Malika]

Awesooooooome!!!!!

[Lord Borak]

I hope you're sitting down. PAINTED STUFF!

Finally, finally, after about 2 years. I finally have started my 10000pt Gothic fleet. First up is (part) of the first Battleship squadron.

Divine Retribution (Retribution)
The Taranis (Terra class) &
Emperor's Hammer (Retribution)





Also, progress on the Battleship replacement front. Not sure where to add the Torpedo tubes. Help!!





My Hobby room is currently under about 3mm of plasticard bits and dust from filing!

[osjclatchford]

Battleship squadron!?


You're a Madman sir...

Oh as for the tubes it's best you do what (mango)Zac soden does. Mark it well, Drill out the holes bigger than wanted. Then fill the hole with GS and remodel the torpedo port into the soft GS. Then file/scrape level/clean after dry...

[Lord Borak]

Battleship squadron!?

Sure.... How else would you run Battleships? 

What about the layout of the Tubes? 3 up either side like the Retribution? 2 along the bottom edge?

[osjclatchford]

Oh, right... I'd say two along the bottom... Makes for a change!

[Lord Borak]

You wish is my command!

Update. Not a massive one but there's a LOT of work gone into it. Especially as I had to redo the banding along the front dorsal section as it was all to close together and wasn't symmetrical to the rear section (the rear section had 3 bands above the weapon port, the front weapon port had 4 above it! Also added the Torpedo tubes along the bottom to be a little bit different. However the prow now looks more like an up-scaled version of the Dauntless light cruiser than a Voss prow :/

There's nothing wrong with that! It looks fantastic! Should definitely cast it up

[Lord Borak]

Needed a break from plasticard to be honest and started work on a new fleet. Ebay seems to be somewhat light on Light cruisers (see what I did there?) at the moment so I dug out an old mould and cast a couple up. I don;t think I ever made a mould of the antennae section but I think they look alright without it. The moulds a bit old and there's loads of mis-moulds and mis-casts but they'll do!!





Colour scheme for these two? I'm out of ideas. Not green, red of grey!!

[osjclatchford]

Ah, that's the dauntless goodness! Loving the bridge eagles. And the plastic aerials look miles better anyhow. As for colour, ever considered inversed gothic? White with darkangelsgreen prow? Seen he do that with Thier fleet for a cruiser (a tyrant class I believe) and it worked rather nicely

[Lord Borak]

OSJC, You want to paint white? Are you mad? No Well, slight accident with the dauntless anyway. So I now need to cast some more up :/

Well, Progress report. Almost done. I just have to work out what I want for the wings on the prow eagle. Angular (like the current Retribution) or more rounded and more like actual wings.

Also, The next prow will be........... What? Ideas please.









Comparison to an Original metal part.

[Lord Borak]

Think I'm happy with this design.

[Chios]

Looking very nice!

[osjclatchford]

Absolutely tasty! Also what's wrong with white? Start with light grey and drybrush up? Not that I've ever had any luck with it but your skill might better suit it..?
