    On the rocks!

    Just started work on three sets of rocks to go with my shoals.




    Basic brown undercoat ready for a bit of painting.




    Got started by matching up the sea colour to my mat and getting that on whilst the paint dried on another project.




    Next move, getting the surf up.

    A bit more shading and highlighting plus a trial of what a wreck would look like.












    Highlighting a bit more and adding a few extras to the scene.











    With detachable wrecks added.

    As you can see Eric my own membership dates from Nov 2011 and I was not involved in the play testing.

    Good observation. It was a Russian Foxtrot class attack sub. When I was there in 2021 the public was not allowed on the sub, so extensive was the rust

    The Kickstarter was in 2013 though or at least my spreadsheets are dated to 2013, which is why I mentioned it. The rule book is copyrighted 2013. Perhaps

    It appears that not only the HMS Rose/Surprise is in need of maintenance, but also the submarine in the background...

    Very poignant Eric, although the Sun is also technically another day nearer to death too.

    It is also true that the actual game started a

    The HMS Rose/Surprise can use some publicity for much needed funds!! The dream of course is for Russell

    I looked at the Caribbean mat under magnification and like the rather choppy sea option Paul.
