Thanks Paul and Tim, apologies for taking so long to render these little guys.
Acrylics made the painting a little faster...wonder what it would be with enamels or oils.

Cheers,

No magic wand Rick but some have said I keep a shrinking ray gun and use it regularly.:smiling2:

I wasn't happy with the dark tones to the wharf surface and painted the individual concrete slabs in lighter shades...I'm halfway done so you can see here in the first photo the dark surface and half of the painted slabs in the other.



Looking at adding trees just behind the left gun tower.

Woof woof guys :smiling2: A bit of a trial as Vallejo paints tend to dry darker so I have to lift the pigments higher which can look rather stark.

Thanks John, good to have you along. I will be doing bits on the wharf before I tackle the ship rigging for 5 main ships and a few auxiliary vessels...not including the figures which I'm also gathering. Looking at adding some Japanese sailing junks and fishing trawlers just like the scene in the first Midway movie. These may need to be scratched.

Cheers,
Richard

Hi, the last time I worked on the extra wharf it hadn't been painted yet.

This is what it looks now after painting it just now...

I have also stuck on the train and vehicles...


Cheers,
Richard

Thanks Scottie, I didn't have time to do the trees although I had the materials ready. That would be next.

Cheers,
Richard
