Painted the second side of a couple of batches of bases needed for the Russian batch a couple of days ago

Glued magnetic vinyl under the bases yesterday

Labeled the bases this morning

If anyone here is contemplating diving into 1/3000th naval using Navwar stuff you'd better hold your horses for a while as Tony of Navwar is evidently currently recouperating from an accident

I really hope Tony is able to get back to full health. Like with Pendraken I am a long time customer of Navwar.....long may they continue....I can see myself assisting by buying "a few" more items from him

Also working through the Russian Ship Damage Summaries (SDS) checking the calculations and making sure I had the right numbers and variants of guns etc.

That's a big batch! Awesome
How many will survive first contact.

[sunjester]

That is indeed an impressive collection!

[fred.]

Great stuff - lots and lots of ships!

There is a lot of variance in size of the cruisers, some seem as large as a battleship and others are way smaller. Is this simply because cruiser is a bit of a catch-all class?

[pierre the shy]

Looking good 

Thanks for the divison spreadsheet you sent through.

Now that the Kamchatka has arrived I better get on with the "Hull fishing fleet".
