Painting White is a Pain!

August 20, 2020

I decided the easiest thing to do was to paint certain areas and then do a “cleanup”. I have finally gotten to the last little bit of cleanup…the white. However this is proving to be more difficult than I ever imagined with lots of tiny details throughout the ship.

Here is the paint scheme so far:

Guns/Anchors – Army Painter Necromancer Cloak
Hull and Masts – Citadel Corvus Black
Sails – Army Painter Skeleton Bone
Deck and Lifeboats – Vallejo 310 (Panzer Aces) Old Wood
Gun Carriages and Gun Ports – Army Painter Pure Red
Inner Hull Lining – Vallejo 924 Russian uniform WW2
Hull, Masts and Lifeboats – Vallejo 820 Off-White
Rope – Citadel Zamesi Desert

Additionally I am playing around with names for the Frigates and the Brigs. Historically the US Navy did not have many ships and most ships didn’t fit the specifications of the in game ships.
Frigates – USS Chesapeake, USS Congress, USS Constellation
Brigs – USS Oneida, USS Niagara, USS Jefferson
If anyone has any good historical references that I can use to expand upon this list of ships it would be much appreciated.
