Barely onto page 2 and the end of the project looks near!  :o

Pictures soon, I hope?

I did say mini-project ;)

Cut out labels I printed a couple of weeks ago :)

The test wash has worked :)
It hasn't shown up the 3D printing layers

Remaining ships washed :)

I should get this project finished this year, pictures might take a bit longer :-\

I think I've got their debut album, "Watching it dry..."

Although it also sounds like a Culture ship name...

About paint and 3D layers: in my experience it's been more of a problem when dry brushing than with washes.
Cheers,

Good thing I don't dry brush my ships then :)

The wash has worked its magic overnight :) :)

Bases labelled :)

So now we have more than enough 1:3000 transports to run the GQ NEI Campaign sometime in 2020....... ;)

Though much is taken, much abides; and though
we are not now that strength which in old days
moved earth and heaven, that which we are, we are.

Ships sorted onto bases :)

Four masts needed re-gluing, less than a 4% failure rate :)

With these additions I've only got 14 Tankers and 29 Cargo ships, is that enough :-\

Definitely looking to do the GQ NEI Campaign sometime in 2020

They should be painted "crab fat" ie grey, but I did my 1/3000 merchies as every shipping line working out of Liverpool in the 60's. You can name Liberties after friends and relations, they seem to have been named after people.

They're a variety of greys with some browns added for 'colour', hopefully I'll get some pictures after they have been varnished tomorrow

I've numbered them as they will see service for a range of what I suspect you would consider 'damn foreigners' as well as the UK
