Holy cow, Nashorn. Those look amazing. I can see why you're taking a break. That's a lot of ships. Hopefully, you'll post more armor and ships soon.

Yeah I'll go with a holy cow too :shock:

I have a new found respect for all the misguided pewter boat people on here.
That is a lot of excellent work.

WOW! How long did it take you paint all of that? And what's the ship count? I ran out of fingers and toes trying to count them all!

I think it took me three months right so.
An hour or two a day.
No decals used on them but kinda waste of time since decals look so much better.
Thanks everyone

I can really feel your pain. Especially with smaller ships with steel decks, like US destroyers, it really becomes very repetative to paint.

But i really like your ships, especially those tankers on the bottom of page 4. The extra bits and pieces you added really make them stand out and look much better than the originals. I might have to steal that idea. :)
