Continuing the naval theme I came across this recently - A very well made animated story of one Japanese destroyer during the 2nd night action between USN and IJN capital ships in November 1942 just off Guadalcanal:


There's alot more if you go into the creators channel, though most of it is not historical, instead amongst other things, the Yamato gets modernised to fight off an alien invasion  ???

"Oh! There's some free Epic Battles figures with that wargames magazine. Excellent, I shall buy the magazine and try out Peachy's technique!" 

One hour into the experiment, the figures are in the bin. The individual Epic Battles figures are fine, but I hated the block of figures.  Yet again, Pendraken proves it is superior.

Side note: The magazine was as disappointing as ever.

If my brush technique was as bad as his I'd definitely not be making a video of it. You are supposed to paint with the tip of the brush, not the side !!!

Aye, I bought the one with the 30yrs/EC war figures on last year sometime. The sprue is still lying untouched on my desk, the magazine was flicked through once, then discarded.
