'28 years later' ...and not the zombie version

Far from being a post related to the recent movie based on the waaay back '28 days/months later' skits, previous chat related to naval and 'Shipwreck', reminded me of the 1:3000 Navwar 'Moderns' (1980s) that I purchased 28 years ago...aaand painted yesterday.

A USN Battle-Group. Painting the eyes on the captains on their bridges, was a nightmare...

Now granted some work to do on the bases (including some labels), but once more, contrast paints work their wonders.

Not a painted deck

For anyone without their glasses on, who thinks I painted that deck detail on the carriers! - thanks, but they are printed on paper and stuck on. 

1980s Soviet Naval 'Aircraft Carrier Group', led by Admiral Kuznetsov

Pics include US: OHP Frigates, Nimitz, Spruance(s), Knox, Kidd and Bunker Hill. Soviet include: Kiev, Admiral Kuznetsov (currently at the bottom of a dock in reality, being scrapped), Udaloy, Berezina, Kresta, Sovremenny, Kynda and Kresta classes.

It's not rust Komrade!

A game of 'Shipwreck to follow. Now I have to find the ww2 ships that I bought 20 years ago also; Nimitz is calling too...
