The Cod Wars Going Hot!

The Bent Rivet Shipyard here in the Duchy has been busy as of late getting vessels ready for the table top. The Cod Wars project has been coming along, slowly, but steadily. Last night I was able to put a finishing wash on a number of ships, including all five of my ICGV vessels. I also managed to finish painting the support tug and a couple of trawlers.

Another ICGV patrol boat


A British side trawler


A stern trawler


Finally, one of the large support tugs employed by the UK government

The rest of the ships are coming along. I've got all but the four RN vessels with some level of painting finished. I was hoping to get two or three of the trawlers done tonight and maybe both OSVs, but I'm a bit knackered from work and I've a long drive to Vermont tomorrow. I suppose it'll just have to wait. 

But in the meantime, here's a great Newfoundland song to get one in the mood for Cod Wars!
