The DDs came from eBay, as did one of the cruisers.

The painting 'style' looks OK to me, and especially with the very detailed plastic models is the only real alternative to painting a awful lot of fiddly detail. More ships soon!Tim Gowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00561988214539953646noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7152572458899289416.post-21465038150612547742012-03-16T08:31:39.463+00:002012-03-16T08:31:39.463+00:00Hi Tim,
