Well boys and girls that was a slog, getting through the neck end of 50 Destroyers  (and Torpedo Boats for the pendants out there).

However it has made a big dent in the number of ships needed to complete the project. 78% of the Germans and 64% of the British are done with a vast majority of my remaining ships "in da bungalow", just have 1 WTJ order to do.

En avante !

Very impressive!! I'm in awe of your mass-production skills. Not only did you paint dozens of ships in a relatively short period of time, they also look great too! I took the liberty of sharing this on the MBS Facebook page, BTW.

Oh, and don't you just love British DD names?

Cheers Ruckdog, no problems share as far as you like !

I like to think that we had an official "Destroyer Naming" department in the Royal Navy and they spent a lot of time in the pub at lunchtime, hence the "afternoon" names.

Cheers
