I have written up a quick 'How To' on the blog on modelling the Tumbling Dice 1/2400 scale Dutch Wars ships. Read it here

These are gorgeous. A rather dauntingly high standard though! |

Your paint job vastly exceeds the aesthetic appeal of the castings.  I'm not a fan of this line of miniatures, but you did some really nice work there. - Ix |

I only bought and painted them so won't defend the designs other than to say I haven't seen anything else in 1/2400 for the period that look better than these castings and, they are easy to work with. The results are nice. With a bit of love they look as good as I could make them! Thanks for the kind words. Playing games with them has been the real pleasure. |

Very nice work. Sadly the TD ships aren't easily available in the States. |

That's strange. Doesn't Paul ship overseas(pun intended)? |

And speaking of Tumbling Dice, I haven't really got to grips with them yet (except for some ACW ironclads, which were pretty straightforward) but this guy makes them look nice too: link |

Thanks for that link Colkitto, he has done a grand job on those. I am just st about to take the plunge and buy my next batch of Dutch Wars stuff. I am very much enjoying these wee toys. |
