I am tempted by the alliance and I love the colour scheme so handy 👍
Alliance for me to
😁🤞🏻
very beautiful paint job
Need some of that gold speed paint, lovely job
I really need to stop fielding my fleet in the plastic grey camo scheme >.<
Fantastic choice of colors. Im surprised that the speed paints did so well.
Nice one 🙂
Nicely done Sir. Especially like the decking and how the sepia wash just made it explode with contrast!
great work with a simple to replicate scheme
This is much better looking than my Richeleau. If I expand i may use this scheme!
Quick and easy
Nice easy painting
Raise…er…paint the Oriflamme!
