Prussian Dreadnought

In a mad evening of painting I finished the Prussian Blucher Class Dreadnought. The only thing not completed are insignia or decals. Something I've noticed is that now that I have the colors and techniques for the ships down it takes me no time to knock out the ships. I think it only took me a couple hours to do the 9 Frigates and probably less than 2 hours to complete this behemoth.

 And a pic of the completed fleet so far...

I think next up will be the Pficht Scout Ships - until the Gunships and Destroyers arrive.

Still left to go:
1 - Blucher Dreadnought
3 - Hussar Gunships
3 - Hussar Gunships
3 - Reiver Cruisers
2 - Geier bombers
9 - Arminius frigates
6 - Stolz Destroyers
2 - Phlicht Scoutships
1 - Gewitterwolke Airship
10 - Tiny Flyers

Prussian Frigates and color pallete

I finished my Frigates last night. But wait.. are they?

While I may say that a model is finished, I really mean that they are to a playable standard. Some peoples playable standards are 3 colors minimum and based accordingly. My playable standard is a subjective term based on....nothing really! These could be classified as finished but there is more I want to do to them.

 In the case of my Prussian Fleet this means  

1. Primer
2. Vallejo Medium Grey base coat
3. Vallejo Black Shade wash
4. dry-brush with Medium Grey
5. P3 Bloodstone deck color
6. GW Devlan Mud Wash
7. Medium Grey Railings, trim, and rings
8. Vallejo Black smoke stacks
9. GW Brazen Brass for pipes
10. Devlan mud wash on pipes
11. Folk Art 660 Metallic Pure Gold for coils and conductors
12. Brazen Brass for other parts of coils and parts
13. Vallejo Black Wash for Coils and conductors 
14. Vallejo Black for Flag color
15. Vallejo White for Flag color
16. GW Blood Red for Flag color
17. Vallejo Dark Prussian Blue for electrified Tesla generator
18. Apple Barrel Bright Blue for electrified Tesla generator
19. Vallejo White for electrified Tesla generator 

WHEW! That's a lot of colors!

So, here are the Frigates. I still need/want to paint flag colors on them somewhere. and I've decided recently that I want to do Hull Identification numbers.

My next project is the Blucher!

Prussians!

Here are pics of my Prussian WiP. 3 Hussar Gunships and The Emperor. The gunships are missing a turret because the packaging was short 3 turrets. I've sent an email to Spartan, maybe they'll send me the missing ones.

I am also going to put a pic up on the Prussian color scheme database thread.. Because, even though my scheme is not great, there really should be more images in there!

More to come later, I hope.
