Painting for Cruel Seas
« on: January 15, 2019, 12:01:57 AM »
Has anyone purchased a Cruel Seas navy?

How has the painting gone?

I am wondering if people are using a cold/black-ish or a warm/brown-ish wash on the wooden decks on some boats.

And, of course, I would LOVE to see everybody's work!

Not that they are particularly good, but you did ask!   :)

Two Vosper Mk. 1s,



...and an S100.



Trying to do them quickly so I can play a game. I just washed the whole thing with Army Painter Soft Tone.

They look great!  And thanks for showing how warm ink looks.

Cheers, tomrommel1 and ErikB,

I'm working on the merchant tanker and the armed trawler now. I'm finding it a bit tricky to work out colour schemes because I don't want to paint every ship grey!

It would be interesting to see what other people are doing.

They look just fine to me. Not being picky, but weren't RN lifebuoys completely white?

Volleyfire!, I'm sure you are absolutely correct. However, I couldn't resist  a splash of colour and the red and white looks so good against the drab grey!   ;)

Finished another Vosper MTB, this time a Mark 2. I used the same wash but added a basic camouflage scheme to the hull.

Cool!

Does that S-Boot come with those railings around the outside of the deck?

No, the are photo etched ones in 1/350 so nominally to small but they fit nicely. They are from Eduart.

Thanks all for sharing!

After playing Bolt Action for about 2 years I am really tempted to give naval warface a try :)
