I realized while writing my 6 month update that I have yet to paint anything beyond 28mm this year! Thus clearing the slips this time are a parcel of US Navy 1/6000 Scale destroyers. These are from the Midway/Layte Gulf boxed set. The decks are done in Weather deck blue in order to rapidly distinguish them from their Japanese counter-parts on the table.
These are some more of the woefully backed up figures that have been awaiting completion for some time.
I really this scale for the way fleet actions look on a large table. Battleships and cruisers stand out very well, but the destroyers are far too small to really differentiate. (They are cast as part of the base) I spent a lot of time squinting next to the computer today, just trying to figure out which ship was which.
I am not sure when I will get back around to the US Navy, as this is reminding me of the 16 IJN Flattops still waiting for completion. (The decks alone are fairly daunting.)
Those Figurehead ships are great!
