The USS Helena. It was camouflaged in Ms 21 - all Navy blue - during the Solomon's campaign. This is one of my least favorite camouflage schemes because it comes out looking like a blue blob without weathering. I tried some new weathering techniques that I think worked better than my earlier attempts. The 5N navy blue paint faded very quickly so I used a lot of thin streaking washes to simulate that look. Anyway, she was sunk in the Battle of Kula Gulf so this was likely what she looked like at the time. Miniature is by Tiny Thingamjigs and base is by Reacher.
You can enter if you have not won a miniature in one of my monthly giveaways in the last six months. If you have a mini from me by any other means like a contest prize you are still eligible. According to my list the ineligible contestants is only brikabraka. All others are eligible. If the prize is not claimed within two weeks of the drawing I will roll the die again from the same list of participants.
Just post to this thread:
"I would go to Helena back to get this mini" before Monday, June 1st, 2020, 8 PM US Central Time. I will compile the list in order of posting as usual, and then roll for the winner on Tuesday night, June 2nd, around 9:00 pm US Central Time.
The fine print: As always, entries are limited to members of the Forumini that joined the board as of the time this message was posted. I paint several copies of each miniature and the one you receive may be slightly different from the miniature in the photographs. Weedsrock2, his affiliates, and heirs, take no responsibility for the outcome of any game where this miniature is used.
