Cod Wars Ship Update

 I managed to get some work done on the 3D printed vessels for the Cod Wars. As they were printed with PLA, the ships needed a small bit of clean up with a hobby knife. I had to take some care around the trawl portion of the vessels, though. 

A bit of a wash up last week and then last night I mounted them on bottle caps for priming and painting. 

Currently, two coats of grey Gesso later, this is where we are at.

Some of the trawlers and one of the OSVs

One of the ocean-going support tugs

One of the ICGV patrol boats

HMS Leopard

I am hoping to get some paint on a few of these ships this week. Next weekend is my drill weekend in Vermont, so I'll have to find some time this week to work on them. Now, time to look for some colour pictures of said ships...
