The next short article in my potted series on building ships in 1/3000th scale for the Battle of the Java Sea is now on-line.
This time we look at the British and Australian vessels. Just five ships, three of which I completed for the River Plate, Matapan and Force Z. If you are interested the article can be found here:

I'm enjoying these informative reports – thanks for sharing. Did you tell us how you made the splash markers, incidentally? Sorry if I have missed it. |

Appreciate the feedback, thank you. The splash markers are the end of a toothpick mounted on a scrap of plasticard. They are then textured with caulking compound. I will document the technique in a future post. |

Interesting. Where did you find the information on the Dutch camouflage schemes you showed in your last article? I had not seen that before. |

@fantasque the black and white image shows what looks to be a camouflage scheme. Searching for images eventually turned up some colour schemes that suggest possible colours which and align to the pattern. |

Thanks, I will have a look |
