My buddy ordered a large pack of these smaller turtle ships called Chungnugong, and said he had too many and gave me 10 of them. They are smaller versions of the larger Geobukseon turtle ship. They are slightly smaller than the Panokseon, but have the armored rooftop like the larger turtle ship.
As with the earlier ships, they are based on plasticard with textured acrylic caulking. They were then sprayed with a white undercoat, and the main areas of the ship given a wash of Vallejo Skin Wash with a little Black Ink, and finally highlighted by dry-brushing. The "water" was painted with a watered down 65:35 mixture of Vallejo Dark Prussian Blue and Deep Green, then a very light dry-brushing of white for the waves/wake.The Koreans now have enough ships for two decent sized squadrons - not counting the ships my buddy is still working on. The Japanese will definitely need some reinforcements now. The photo above shows the size comparison of these with a full-sized Geobukseon turtle ship and Panokseon.This site was created late in 2008, just a few years after first becoming involved in wargaming. As you can tell by the name, WAB was my introduction to this community. I appreciate the following and comments this blog receives, and give all thanks and credit to my Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ. It may seem odd that this blog appears to focus on the folly of mankind's continuous warfare, but I believe I can still enjoy this hobby so long as I put Him first in all I do. Maranatha!

The 'water' looks excellent. Nice highlights on the wave crests.
ReplyDeleteSuch great paint jobs on the ships and their bases. The waves really feel like turbulent seas!
