And here we go. Fresh from my bench, SMS Goeben and SMS Breslau ready to sail off Messina, destination: unknown. Circa August 6, 1914.
Now the question is: does Britannia still rule the waves?
These guys are out to offer their answer...
Some commentary will follow soon... but I figure out you will enjoy a happy Sunday night with some eye-candies. All these miniatures are Figurehead 1/6000. Painting took place between yesterday and today, and this time around there was some headwind: one lesson I learned is never, never spraying a white primer outdoor in the freezing Chicago temperature. Nevertheless, I recovered from that horrid splash of condensed white paint shot on HMS Warrior, and I sailed relatively smoothly for the rest of the job.
Funny fact: none of these miniatures were in my possess as of last Monday morning. On Monday afternoon, I submitted an order to the Figurehead distributor at The Last Square, Madison WI. The miniatures were fortunately in stock: the package was sent on Tuesday morning from Madison, and delivered on Thursday in Chicago. By Sunday night, they were painted and ready for action. Sigh of bliss...

But, sir, these are useless, utterly useless without an opposing navy. Will it be the Hun? or the Frogs? or those blasted Colonials?
Who, damnit, who?
